If you read the literature on the UFO Abduction Phenomenon, you will see that the primary interest of the almond eyed beings of the Abduction Phenomenon is grabbing as many women as they can and engaging in sex, sex, sex.
I used to think that alien abduction might actually be demonic events because of this too. Especially with the legends of incubi and succubi which Aquinas even believed in, due to the widespread reports. However, then I realized that … humans rape humans too a lot … human males have often grabbed women with even more frequency than alien abductions. However, human rapists aren’t demons … they’re humans. Aliens, being rational animals like us, may very well share in similar sexual drives and, like I said earlier, are probably fallen as well. But not all abductions seem to involve rape or even consensual sex. There are some positive abductions that have healed people. Like I said before, aliens, if they exist, are a mixed bag. Some are evil, some are good, and most of them are in between, probably.
In the Abduction Phenomenon, the female victims are impregnated and ostensibly give birth to hybrid children, by abortion. Now read Genesis 6:4, especially the words “as well as later.” “Nephilim” means, “the aborted ones.”
I’d like to know your source on this (the hybrid children by abortion). I’ve never heard that. I’d like to research that further.
Yeah, the Nephilim is an interesting controversy, but I am inclined to believe that it has nothing to do with either aliens or even demons/angels. What convinced me was something that Augustine said and many others. The “Sons of God” referred to Seth’s descendants, who were of the righteous line, while the “daughters of men” referred to Cain’s descendents, who were the accursed line. The righteous ones could not control themselves however and inter-married with the accursed line … the first example of believers marrying unbelievers. The result is that the offspring were “barbarians” (though often translated “giants” misleadingly … so I read).
It’s not the fantastic interpretation like the ones that involve aliens and/or demons, but, to me, when I read it, it made a lot of sense to me, much to my disappointment almost, that it turned out much more mundane than I originally thought. I might be wrong though.
There it is. Because UFO is a modern English alphabet acronym, Revelation 13 uses the modern English alphabet to decode 666.
Many skeptics like to show how smart they are by saying, "I don’t go with “666.” I go with “616” in noncanonical versions of Revelation.
The problem with their skepticism is that 616 generates UAO on the same chart, the British version of UFO.
There is much, much, much more evidence like this.
Believe me – UFOs are utterly demonic.
Interesting theory. Very clever. And maybe even a bit eerie. But I’ve seen 666 been applied to many crazy things, including Popes and stuff. You can do a lot of crazy things with numbers and letters to supposedly reveal deeper truths that aren’t actually there. You know,
A Beautiful Mind. But I’ll keep an open mind. But this isn’t really proof.
I don’t think UFOs are utterly demonic, nor did the chief exorcist in Rome. It could very likely be the case that several aliens are possessed by demons and act demonically, perhaps many being enslaved to demons … but that exorcist and I firmly believe that the supposed aliens are not demons. The ample evidence of their physical and biological nature does not seem to support that.
you misunderstood the object of distraction. The theological issue isn’t a distraction from the faith but the alien phenomenon keeps humanity focused ‘out’ there physically for salvation in technology and space and this pesky alien thing.
Yes, this is happening, you’re right. I think the cure though is not to try and ignore the alien phenomenon but give it theological meaning, so that when looking at the extraterrestrial question (or any question for that matter), one is not habituated to then think of the common godless scientologist drivel but rather to think about God.
The hypostatic union of divine and human in connection with what is united in Him, namely heaven and earth. isn’t addressed by St Thomas is it? It’s a cosmology too. I understand how nature is subject to power but the all encompassing cosmic union of not just earth and heaven but matter and spirit. The elements chage of all creation! The aliens are subject to the Christ Events on earth. I don’t know how to get around that
I don’t know if Aquinas addresses your concern here, but I might not understand what your question is. What he does say is that a Divine Person of the Trinity can take on more than one created nature.
A good question though is, and this might be your question … what do we make of Christ as King of the Creation with regard to the alien question? I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps that indicates that these supposed aliens are actually descendants of Adam, and thus “human” in the relevant theological sense, in which case Christ would apply to them as He applies to us. But if not descended from Adam … then it gets more complicated.
Ever notice that real alien reference depicts aliens all alike seen one you’ve seen em all? Talkin nature here and it’s not human They all obey the same natural law without renegades breaking the rules like us. They are irational but infused with the lights of intellect…they have intllectual helpers. that combo would be something. The tower of babyl with no stopping it.
It is not clear by witnesses whether they have broken rules or not. Some have said that they fight each other … and certainly there have been malicious abduction cases.
If they are irrational, they wouldn’t be infused with the light of the intellect … would they? I don’t know if this is even possible. I might be wrong. Hmm … the only thing I can think of is … Averroes the Arabic philosopher argued that we were all just animals and that our intellect … namely the Agent Intellect … was a separate entity that we all shared in common and enlightened all of us. Since we weren’t intellectual by nature, we did not have immortal souls. Aquinas, however, noted that if we all had the same Agent Intellect, we would all have the same concepts … but that is clearly not the case (took me awhile to understand that … but it’s a good point). However, perhaps these aliens all share the same Agent Intellect … they all might think as one … which might explain their alleged telepathy? Or something? Hmm. This is definitely something I haven’t thought about.
