You said — “Read the heading of the thread Orthodox Christian Caucus this by the rules is for Orthodox only can reply. That is why someone took it into the open forum. Have been over there to discuss the topic?”
I thought it could be discussed here in a respectful manner — as if one were “in a church” so to speak (as the Religion Moderator said).
It was on post #37 that I read his statement — “Caucus threads on the Religion Forum should always be treated as if a meeting behind the closed doors of a church.”
And so..., I’m willing to participate in that same kind of respectful manner. It’s fine with me. And I’ve been in all sorts of other kinds of churches and have had good conversations with those people. I would imagine the same can be done here.
When you designate what church, Orthodox and then call it a caucus then you have closed that door of the church to only Orthodox people, that is why someone moved it over to a open thread so everyone could discuss it.
I certainly believe they are in cahoots with satan
WHATEVER they are.
Guy Malone, IIRC, believes that they are fallen angels, nephilium, watchers and not demons—at least not most of them.
IIRC, he defines demons as disembodied such that were killed in Noah’s flood.
Some do contend that the greys—at least some of the greys—are bioengineered bodies that demons can inhabit . . . and that live for a year or so.
Perhaps that would be true with
Orthodox
and
Greek Orthodox and/or
Russian Orthodox
but not with orthodox meaning simply Biblically kosher.
Quix, you were saying — “but not with orthodox meaning simply Biblically kosher.”
[and also for guitarplayer1953 at post #42...]
Yeah, I was thinking that, plus being respectful about those who want to talk about the issue. I have already seen, in “open threads” that some who have posted here (up above) have already been disrespectful in their comments (elsewhere, which indicates their true thinking on the matter). They are dismissing it as crazy.
Well, there are quite a few things in the Bible that many others may dismiss as crazy and for whatever it’s worth, even demon possession is dismissed by many others, along with the idea that there are angels or that they have any kind of interaction with people, at all.
I mention the disrespect that some have, because in another thread, there was a poster here who then used the fact that this was even being discussed here — as a sign of some kind of “insanity” (if you will) of someone who would even participate in such a discussion.
And that’s why I can see that such a thread, as this, is put into this kind of format. Otherwise, one would never get a serious discussion of it. So, it’s very appropriate to be done here...
INDEED.
Though I think even this sort of discussion of such is to not be part of a caucus thread.
Thx.
I thoroughly agree that they are not nice critters.
Which thread had the heading "Orthodox Christian Caucus"?
