God, Aliens, and Other Stuff

According to the dictionary, a sophistry is a kind of reasoning that is misleading or unsound, but it sounds clever and plausible. Paul talks about such reasoning in Colossians 2:23,  "Such regulations (Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!) indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence."  Note, "appearance of wisdom" and "false humility" do not a perfect Christian make. Paul was addressing the problem of Christian leaders, one of which was James the brother of Jesus, who wanted to "Judaize" the emerging Christian church. Circumcize your male children, avoid pork, keep the Sabbath, do not marry, do not drink wine, wear this, don't wear that...The Jews had hundreds of laws beside the Law of Moses to keep. The veil in such religions between earthly ritual and objects and the unseen interdimensional

I am the way… 1) Genesis 11, 12: Following God’s path for ourselves will sometimes require leaving long established relationships, customs, and/or beliefs behind. The Hebrew man named Abram didn’t leave Ur of the Chaldees (today’s Iraq) alone with just a suitcase and a passport. His father Terah led him and his nephew Lot to Haran, a place perhaps named after Abram’s brother Haran that died in Ur. They dwelt in Haran (today’s northern Syria, along the Tigris River) for some time, but God had called Abram to something totally new. Not everyone needs to leave behind as much as Abram, Sarai, and Lot in order to obey God, but for many, it’s necessary. God calls all of us to a separation from our old lives and old connections, but for some that separation is more drastic and painful than for others. Abram came away with an abundance of worldly goods. Tents, food, water, servants, animals, etc. would make for a major caravan. What he left was his entire family, all of their gods, his

In my last post, we met Ted Rice, a gifted psychic who for many years was able to help people with predictions and visions. We saw him leave his home in Alabama, get an unbelievable opportunity to work in Sun Valley, Idaho, gain and lose a girlfriend that he greatly cherished, and meet a beautiful, mysterious woman whose people lived somewhere up in the mountains…IN the mountains...no phone, no address. She helped Ted realize that he did indeed have unique psychic gifts. She also encouraged

The Reptilian version For years, Laura Knight- Jadczyk  met with friends on Friday nights. They were interested in the paranormal and felt that they might be alien  abductees . They put their hands lightly on the  planchette  of the Ouija Board and took notes on what the spirits had to say. Most of it they didn't take seriously, but one day an entity showed up calling itself a  Cassiopeaen . This entity had much to say about alien abductions, especially about a group called the  Orions , a "Service to Self" group often called Reptilians, or in slang, Lizards or  Lizzies . According to the  Cassiopaeans , the Lizards plan to supplant humans in time. Here is a sample of information attained in those interviews: Q. Bob Lazar referred to the fact that aliens supposedly refer to humans as containers. What does this mean? A. All are containers; 94 percent will be used. Q. (L) Used for what? A. Consumption. Q. (L) What do  you  mean by "consumption?" You mean eaten? A.

  Setting the parameters of discussion All Bible verses are NKJV taken from biblegateway.com unless otherwise noted. 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 the Old Testament as well the New. The fact that the title of Christ is in the word does not prevent us from searching out similar spiritual themes in the Hebrew Bible in which spiritual and cultural forces are horrifically anti-God. In the second half of the twentieth century there were many predictions about the immanent rise of the antichrist, but it came from people who were partly or totally into channeling spirits. The situations that I know of and have blogged about are Jeane Dixon, Ruth Montgomery, Vance David, and an apparition of the Virgin Mary in Bayside, New York. The NT does encourage gifts of the Holy Spirit like prophecy and word of knowledge in which God speaks to those imbued with the gift, but the Holy Spirit d

Change can be brutal In 2011, my husband and I watched a series on Netflix called “Into the West.” We enjoyed it, but it was depressing. It covered the expansion of white people from the east to the west throughout the nineteenth century, focusing on the conflict between the whites and Native Americans as the inexorable tsunami of wagons crossed the plains. It told about Indian wars, broken treaties, the near extinction of the buffalo, stolen lands... For the whites, the 1800’s were an exciting time of prosperity and gain. Inventions made life easier, the railroad brought the coasts together, while gold mines, industry, banking made some people millionaires. Huge cattle ranches and drives were the stuff of legend. Literature, politics, education, entertainment, journalism--there was nothing withheld from the irrepressible, enterprising whites of eighteenth-century America. For the Indian tribes, it was a time, with a few notable exceptions, of humiliation and loss. They fought brav
