I hope to get back to continuing this shortly.
My own convictions are aligned with Guy Malone's.
The critters are lying fallen angels.
Government whistleblowers have long said that the critters
"LIE, LIE, LIE"
Certainly they are not to be trusted in terms of spirituality and cosmology.
Many of the Gut's threads are about this topic, it is an interesting take on the "alien" phenomenon and abduction. The Gut some good info.
To me the whole Abduction thing makes no sense for a technologically advances species to be doing, At the point man could travel the stars, enough that as often as these abductions happen. I would hope "exploratory" Procedures would be long gone...
You would think a hair sample pulled from a pillow would have all the "genetic" Information any advanced race would need to know about humans.
So do these beings lack advance computer simulations and medical technology or what?
I would highly doubt an advanced race would travel the stars to visit Earths back waters to kidnap Cletus from the trailer park, probe him and give him a Plato like dissertation on civilization.

Maybe you find this hard to believe because you have a preconception of what aliens are about? It is not just research they are doing. These aliens are operating on a spiritual level and on a political level. They want something from us. They feed on us and want to use us for their own benefit.

Actually, Armageddon is scheduled to be an epic battle.
However, Colton Burpo in HEAVEN IS FOR REAL
seems to indicate that it's an easy rout of God's forces against the fallen angel crew.
The Bible certainly agrees.
hand to hand combat! Jesus is pretty kick ass!

Jesus knows all about these guys and what the future holds for them. If He does fight them it will be on a level of excellence that does not require ray guns!

I agree about "for their own benefit."
However . . . I wonder if it's in a . . . kind of . . . twisted sense.
They are likely DRIVEN to serve their dark lord . . . I don't know that pleasure in the conventional sense is what it's cracked up to be in their realm.
I can't believe that there's a lot of lasting satisfaction and comfort for their achievements in perverse destructive evil.
Maybe all they have to show for their efforts is something akin to the hollow absence of a lasting thrill and only a used condom to show for perverse sex. It was a thrilling however many seconds . . . then . . . emptiness frightful emptiness.
As the credits rolled up the television screen and Colby picked at the dregs of the popcorn, Sonja said offhandedly to Colton, "Well, I guess that's one thing you didn't like about heaven--no swords up there."
Colton's giddy excitement vanished as quickly as if an invisible hand had wiped his smile off with an eraser. He drew himself up to his full height and looked down at Sonja, who was still sitting on the floor.
"There are [I]too[/I] swords in heaven!" he said.
Surprised at his intensity, Sonja shot me a sideways glance, then kind of drew her head back and smiled at Colton. "Um ... okay. Why do they need swords in heaven?"
"Mom, Satan's not in hell yet," Colton said, almost scolding. "The angels carry swords so they can keep Satan out of heaven!"
. . .
. . .
. . . "Hey Colton, I bet you asked if you could have a sword, didn't you?" I said. [Dad]
At that, Colton's scowl melted into a dejected frown, and his shoulders slumped toward the floor. "Yeah, I did. But Jesus wouldn't let me have one. He said I'd be too dangerous.
. . .
"Hey, Colton, " I said. "Did you [I]see[/I] Satan?"
"Yeah, I did," he said solemnly.
"What did he look like?"
At this, Colton's body went rigid, he grimaced, and his eyes narrowed to a squint. He stopped talking. I mean, he absolutely shut down, and that was it for the night.
We asked Colton about Satan a couple of times after that, but then gave up because whenever we did, his reaction was a little disconcerting: it was as if he changed instantly from a sunny little kid to someone who ran to a safe room, bolted the door, locked the windows, and pulled down the blinds. . . . he didn't want to talk about it.
TWENTY-SIX
THE COMING WAR
"Dad, did you know there's going to be a war?"
"What do you mean?" . . .
"There's going to be a war, and it's going to destroy this world. Jesus and the angels and the good people are going to fight against Satan and the monsters and the bad people. I saw it."
"In heaven, the women and the children got to stand back and watch. So I stood back and watched." Strangely, his voice was sort of cheerful, as though he were talking about a good movie he'd seen. "But the men, they had to fight. And Dad, I watched you. You have to fight, too."
Try hearing that and staying on the road . . .
"You said we're fighting monsters?"
"Yeah," Colton said happily.
"Like dragons and stuff."
. . .
[The book of Revelation about such things]
"Um, Colton . . . what am I fighting the monsters with?" I was hoping for a tank, maybe, or a missile launcher . . . I didn't know, but something I could use to fight from a distance.
Colton looked at me and smiled. "You either get a sword or a bow and arrow, but I don't remember which."
My face fell. "You mean I have to fight monsters with a [I]sword?[/]"
"Yeah, Dad, but it's okay," he said reassuringly. "Jesus wins. He throws Satan into hell. I saw it."
. . .
"What's the problem, Dad?" I've told you: I've skipped to the last chapter, and the good guys win."
. . .
"Well, son, I guess if Jesus wants me to fight, I'll fight," I said.
Colton turned away from the window, and I saw that the look on his face had turned serious. "Yeah, I know, Dad," he said. "You will."
However, I don't see, since you speak of Jesus, where do the other religions fit in? They are evil? Oh, right.. there are no other gods... and this is the objectivity you have?
