God, Aliens, and Other Stuff

  All Bible verses are NKJV taken from biblegateway.com. This is a 3/2026 update and edit of an earlier post. Setting the parameters of discussion First, the term antichrist is a biblical construct, so only the Bible can define it. It’s actually a Judeo-Christian meme, rooted deeply in Old Testament prophecy and history as well as in New Testament theology. The fact that the title of Christ is in the word Antichrist does not prevent us from searching out similar historical themes in the Hebrew Bible where spiritual and cultural forces are horrifically anti-God. The OT/HB deity established a theocracy in Israel, so the prophets were very political. Jesus unmoored His kingdom from earthly politics by declaring that the kingdom of God is within you and His kingdom is not of this world (Luke 17:21; John 18:36). Nevertheless, the Antichrist, if there is one individual called that, will be both religious and political, and that is part of the blasphemy of the antichristal system, the mar...

 A recent Ted Rice event. In the post-midnight hours of Sunday, Jan 25, 2026, my friend Ted Rice had another paranormal encounter. Ted is the psychic and abductee about whom the book Masquerade of Angels was written. It’s out of print, and hugely expensive on amazon, but you can still buy an autographed copy from Ted. See information below. He spent decades in New Age practices, even founding a church with a friend in Atlanta, but later in life his experiences led to him revisiting his southern Christian roots. Dr. Karla Turner wrote the book about his mystic journey and UFO researcher Barbara Bertholic became a good friend and mentor. Ted wanted to share his experience with a couple of friends because he felt it was a deliberate lesson to be passed on. We have a small chat group on Messenger, so later on Sunday he contacted “Fringe” of @fringedotcom on X and me on Messenger to see if we could set up a group phone call. Fringe (she doesn’t like her real name out there) set the c...

Image from pexels.com. I love posting about Genesis 1-4 because it’s a bottomless well of insights about the development of human cognition and our relationship with gods and God. I should mention, as I’ve done in previous posts, I believe the stories are divinely inspired and weighted with truths we should explore, but I don’t take Gen. 1-4 as an accurate historic account. Now, hold the cabbages just a minute my churchy friends. Let me explain. Not My Point, but Let’s Review Italics represent specific Hebrew words: in Genesis 1 God just speaks . The heavens and earth appear. Adam and Eve are created on the 6 th 24-hour day together , male and female, and it’s all good . In Gen. 2, the earth is not fully developed because mankind hasn’t appeared yet (2:5). God forms Adam out of the same dust/mud/dirt that he makes the animals. God makes him a living creature using the same Hebrew word for the animals (2:19), but not all is good yet. Something important is missing. Yahweh Elohi...

Image from freebibleimages.com Now and then I see a title on various writing outlets suggesting that Christianity has created a whole new deity, but the fact is, Christianity spread as fast as it did because the shadow of the Triune God was already deeply embedded in the Tanak (the entire Hebrew Bible/Old Testament). Those predictive passages give astonishing affirmation to the claims of Jesus and His apostles. Read on, and I’ll make the case for it. There are many passages in the HB that speak to the coming of Messiah. In this post, I’ll pull out some of the well-known, bedrock predictions often quoted in the New Testament. If you are already a Christian who is conversant with these passages, it wouldn’t hurt to review them again. It fascinates me that John addresses all of the important Messianic titles in his first chapter. I’ll use the New King James Version cut and pasted from biblegateway.com. The Spirit of God , Genesis 1:1, 2; Job 38:1-7; and John 1:1-3. Let’s begin with ...

 God is not always in the lobby. Picture a bright, sunny lobby with posters on all the walls. The inhabitants there are fairly tribal, hailing each other with pride and solidarity. Once you get in the lobby, there is only one way out, through a door to the dark hallway of unintended concequences. The hallway is full of more doors. It's scary and complicated, a place of woe and pain, so many denizens of the lobby just stay there. It's a happy place of rigid moral rectitude, a place where simple bromides make so much sense, they couldn't possibly be wrong. The fetus/child poster Take for instance, the poster that reads, "It's not a choice, it's a child." Wow, how could anyone refute that? If you believe in God, that little fetus is a reflection of God. Killing it is murder, and fighting it is to offend God, the Creator of all mankind. Even that gooey blob of protein has the DNA of a human being in it. I admit, for a believing Christian, it's a tough call...
