Those who believe 'space aliens' are really angels ie the 'sons of God' (Gen.6.2) fail to realize the bizarre implications.
They say angels married women in Gen.6:2 and that wrongly called 'space-aliens' today are really Satan's angels who abduct humans for sex. The implications is that there are also half-human and half-angels today.
The offspring of these so called angel-human unions in Gen.6 must be a transmutation. If the offspring of the 'sons of God' (according to the theory) are not a new species, what are they? You would be surprised that even creationists who deny hominid creatures ever existed, yet will accept S.J. Gould's punctuated equilibrium - that half human/angel creatures can exist. Think of all the miracles required for such creatures to be possible. The increase of information added to the DNA and all at conception.
A better explanation of Gen.6:2 exists here - http://answers.net.nz/RCC/sons.God.htm
However these creationists build their case and say alien abductions are "extremely similar to demonic possession". And the weird and bizarre stories are 'real'. People "defy the very laws of physics" and have "probes inserted into them". And “eggs and sperm are routinely removed from victims” and “captives are forced to have sex with each other” and “with their alien captors”. Apparently aliens “usually undress” their human prisoners and there’s “sexual intercourse” going on. While abductees suffer from sexually transmitted diseases, bruises etc, quotes are given from medical doctors as proof. Strange that creationists who don't allow evolutionists to interpret the bible for them yet allow alien researchers to reinterpret the bible for us.
No they don’t believe in space aliens but that these “real experiences are very similar to real spiritual ones" ... "people are having real experiences at the hands of deceptive fallen angels and demons." (Quoted from a creationist website and their literature)
What to make of all this?
Experiences?
God does not expect me to believe such experiences and stories of men but He does expect me to believe His Word. We don't base doctrine on stories but the bible or formulate doctrine even on experience. Surely one must stand with scripture and not man’s interpretation of strange events? Its our safe guide because it's not subject to trickery (Ps.119:130 119:105 2 Tim.2:15 2 Pe.1:20). Saying these bizarre experiences are 'real' has a two fold error trap -
(1) A misapprehension of the experience itself and its content and divine origin.
(2) A faulty conclusion to the doctrinal meaning of the experience.
Just because we don’t have a ready explanation why must we credit demons or angels for unexplained events? Are we obligated to find a cause for every unusual thing we are told?
The Bible:
The Christian finds his guide to belief and practice in the Epistles to the churches. They provided detailed and careful instructions on every possible danger to the faith and the realm of spiritual warfare. The apostles keep back anything of profit, warning or help.
The life and teachings of Christ and the OT are expounded. The aim is to establish every believer sound in the faith. So we may know all the ways of the enemy Satan and his objectives. We are warned about his works of darkness and his temptations and "we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Cor.2:11). We discover there is nothing in the Epistles on how to perform an exorcism. Demon possession is not mentioned. The ‘discerner of spirits’ (or doctrines) (1 Cor.12:10) is not an exorcist but one who discerns truth (1 Jn.4:1-6). There is no praised or famous exorcist in any NT church or any elder, deacon or preacher who made this his practice.
Demonic Materialization:
One 'Christian' alien-researcher says the “UFO’s are the ‘powers and principalities’ stated in the New Testament”. But what does abducting humans and sexual exploration by evil angels have to do with this verse? It says,
"Then God would use the church to show the powers and authorities in the spiritual world that He has many different kinds of wisdom" (Eph.3:10 CEV)
They quote Eph.6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood...." However the "we" here are Christians, and has nothing to do with UFO's or abductees. Another wrongly quoted verse is 2 Thes.2:9-11 (p143 The Answers Book CMI). This book links UFO's to Satan's angels (p.144 2006 edition). But in context (see vs.8) this verse refers to the "signs and false wonders" by the coming anti-Christ, not UFOs. And its nonsense to apply Mt.24:24 to UFO's. It's incorrect to say the 'wonders and miracles' by "false Christ's" (or the anti-Christ) to deceive the elect are - UFOs.
Its nonsense to assume those who claim to see UFO’s or ‘little green men’ with slanted eyes are actually seeing Satan's angels instead. It is not in the interest of forces of darkness to reveal or manifest their plans or actions (Mt.24:5,11,24. Eph.4:14 5:6. 2 Jn.1:7 Rev.12:9). They move in unseen realms and deceive in the spiritual, not by physical manifestations. They work under-cover and hide themselves as they deceive mankind. "We are apt to forget that the enemy is unseen and that he is supernatural" (Oswald Chambers). Hence 'spiritual warfare' is not physical (1 Cor.2:10-14 Eph.6:12-17). In the bible, angels took on human form, but those that sinned cannot, they have lost freedom and privileges. Although in rebellion against God they are still under control and can do nothing without permission (Jb.1:6-12 2:1-6. 1 Cor.5:4,5. 2 Cor.12:7-10). Their bodies are not physical but spirit and they don't entice humans with sexual acts. Sexual desires (good or bad) come from human nature - not demons (Mt.5:28 Mk.7:20-21 Gal.5:19 1 Cor.6:18).
The Kingdom and Church:
It is important to distinguish between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Church. There is no case of demon possession found in the church epistles Romans to Jude. Why? It was not until Jesus offered the kingdom to Israel that demon activity is mentioned (Mt.4:17, 23, 9:35 10:5-15).
Satan strongly opposed this Kingdom. If Israel accepted Christ as king, Satan would be judged and his company cast into the lake of fire. The Kingdom now has been postponed but up until Mt.17:18 Mk.9:25-26 Lk.11:24-26 Jesus had not yet gone to the cross to “triumph over principalities and powers and… through death that He might destroy (neutralize the power of) him that had the power of death, that is the Devil” (Col.2:15 also 1 Pe.3:22). A change took place from which we benefit (His 'triumph') . So while Satan controls the minds of the degenerate, he now opposes the church. We put on God's amour. Satan changed his strategy from the time of Jesus in the gospels to the church. We now talk of Satanic influence deception or temptation (Acts 5:1-4. 26:18 2 Cor.2:10-11 4:4 1 Cor.7:5 Eph.4:26-27. This has nothing to do with possession or UFO's or silly weird stories of today which are only deceitful.
Physical or Spiritual Warfare?
If demons or evil angels do what alien researchers claim, it changes the nature of spiritual warfare to physical encounters (1 Cor.2:10-14 Eph.6:12-17). Yet Satan masquerades as an angel of light deceitfully and does not physically transform into a visible being. He goes about like a roaring lion but does not devour physically.(2 Cor.11:14. 1 Pe.5:8). Forces of darkness move in the unseen realm against the church.
Why Just UFO's?
If we believe UFO’s are Satan's manifestations, we must consider all the other claims. Abductees claim new powers they say are 'real'. Powers of magic enchantments - astrology, sorcery, horoscopes, fortune-telling, extrasensory perception, good-luck charms, telepathy, telekinesis, hypnosis and levitation etc. Believe all this? Then you are swimming in a realm of delusion and deception. All turns to confusion and uncertainty. All these have their researchers and bogus claims. If we believe half the stories why not believe the rest?
Finally:
If it's correct that aliens are evil angels, surely 'gifts' of healings, tongues and miracles apply today (Mk.16:17-18). The 'casting out of spirits' MUST be a church practice. We must decide who is or isn’t possessed and accept any bizarre story as very likely true. The battle of the Christian moves into the physical realm and Christianity becomes superstitious in character and doctrine. Some claim to be possessed after abductions. So perhaps a 'groaning demon', or 'fainting', or 'jerking', or 'coughing', or 'eerie laughter demon' is real? You name it. A demon that makes them ‘bite their finger-nails’ or ‘gluttony demon' or a ‘lazy demon'. Or perhaps a ‘sex demon' or ‘chronic asthma demon’. These and dozens more all fit into the realm of UFO belief (‘Deliver Us from Evil’. Rev D. Bashan Compton Printing Lon. 1972).
An exposition on 1 Cor.13:8-14 refutes this doctrinal error regarding miracle 'gifts' –
