Some would say in doing so you can leave yourself open to demonic influences...and that the “spirit guides” they profess are just that..from the dark side.

Like a Ouija board?

The Baker Confinement Act depends much on the states laws and there is much contriversey concerning evaluating the danger the person actually is to themsleves or others.

But I agree that an adult simply has the right to believe whatever they want and the most you can do is keep trying to talk to them and find a way to live with the choice they have made.

You can see by these channelers their ultimate gain is the books you buy from them....there is big money in spreading this garbage to the minds of people who are primed today to believe such none-sense. They always end up announcing their next conference or seminar or book and of course their websites which generally give the prices they require for their personal help...it's a racket and they all borrow and refer to one another.

“Project Camelot” also adds that their proceeds go to some poor troubled man or people in south Africa you can send your money too....but upon investigating the address and bank accounts you see this is an off shore deal that protects their income. In other cases they claim proceeds go to children's hospitals in Hawaii etc....none if any actually make it there.

I would think these boards would be included as the idea is to gain access into the spirit world. People look at these “games” as just fun...but others take it wuite seriously as with Tarot cards...palm readings...channelers etc. These all are on the “darker”side so to speak and likely much has to do if one believes or not. In some cases it wouldn’t matter I suppose...but I sure wouldn’t mess around that close to the edge....never underestimate the enemy of mens souls....he’s not called the father of lies for nothing...and certainly par excellant at deception.

From a Christian perspective all these channelers are saying is hocus pocus mumbo jumbo and can easily be debunked via scripture....

Generally they go off into their fantasy land with no regard for reality...they speak in generalities otherwise which any person could say....”The earth will have difficulties in the year 2010.”.....well, in what way? How? Be specific. They simple borrow from what is already known and reveal nothing at all, or manufacture whatever they think will sell to the hearers.

As you can tell they speak in circles because it is fantasy.

Well star Traveler if I didn’t know better it would look like you are promoting starseed ideals. It is not unusual for religious people and even true believers to believe in this...in fact they oftentimes “hook” people who are believers because they are already aware of biblical teachings, how be it often limited.

At any rate accession to other states of consciouness is a big not happening...rather the feel good mode comes about from the chemical responses which are natural to our bodies...(snapse) and endorphines come into play as well...that is why people keep going back ..it is a feel good thing...their happy fix for the day. Same thing occurs with alcohol or drug use...

If a person professes to be a Christian, but knowingly participates in many activities that are clearly spelled out in the bible as forbidden and demonic, it is reasonable to interpret this to be that they’re not really a Christian and that they may be risking the loss of their soul. That cold hard reality may have a more profound effect on the person than all of the “logic” in the world.

It’s my understanding that all activities, such as channeling, astral projection, reincarnation, astrology, etc., are not of God or Christ. If someone told me that I could immediately understand all the branches of science without any effort, or that I could become rich beyond my wildest dreams and never have to worry about having enough money ever again, but would have to give up my soul, I wouldn’t even consider it. Yet many of these people may end up risking their souls for the a fantasy that makes them feel they now “see the light”.

I don’t know if this helps, but perhaps this perspective might help people see the deception that is taking place and avoid going to far to return to reality.

You can’t move unidentified until they have identified the object. ...until then it’s UN-identified. Simply a matter of known or unknown...no Christian about it one way or another. Also being unknown still does not mean it is an alien ship, which the real ufo enthusiasts might want to believe....it simply isn’t known.

IF ANY OF YOU ON THE END TIMES OR UFO PING LISTS KNOW MUCH MORE ABOUT THE ET/NEW AGE MOVEMENT ‘SCRIPT,’ BELIEFS, TEACHINGS ETC. AND CARE TO COMMENT MORE, some of your fellow FREEPERS would appreciate your input.

I don’t know of any other Freepers who are greatly read up on the topic though there must be a fair number. They just haven’t come forward noting that or emphasizing it.

Post #25—my cursory read/scan of most of it—it sounds like fairly standard NEW AGE stuff vis a vis UFO’s, ET’s and the whole GREAT DECEPTION associated therewith. I’ll ping both the END TIMES LIST and the UFO ping list and see if anyone on either list knows more and is willing to talk about it.

It’s a fairly boring and bothersome topic to me. It’s kind of like reading a script from the cesspools of hell. Not my preference.

I have enough of their number, I don’t need to bother a whole lot more about it than to keep some slight tabs on where they are in their script currently. I don’t even do that weekly but maybe every few months just a bit.

Of course the New Age movement and the fallen angels/ET’s are in cahoots. They are both managed from hell. NO big surprise there.

HTTP://WWW.ANCIENTofDAYS.NET

has tons of great material on all such.

It doesn’t matter to me whether, as Guy Malone at the above link convincingly asserts with an impressive panel of high level scholars—that the ET’s are all fallen angels

and/or

IF they are, as they claim [while being chronic liars] that they are from distant planets.

IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH SATAN AND THE GLOBALISTS TOWARD ESTABLISHING THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OVERTLY—ULTIMATELY TO BE RAN BY SATAN INCARNATE.

That’s mostly all I need to know about the critters. Being in cahoots with the globalists is equal to being in cahoots with Satan. End of story.

However, I think it wise to be alert to their schemes, plans, teachings.

Scripture says the END TIMES will entail a GREAT DECEPTION SO CLEVER THAT WERE IT POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT OF GOD WOULD BE DECEIVED.

I believe that those walking intimately with God will not be deceived. “Luke warm” so called “Christians” may well be deceived to their great hurt if not eternal damnation.

Certainly I believe that the massive paradigm shifts coming from that whole sphere—shoved down the throats of the whole world—will be devastating to many “Christians” because they are not used to critical thinking; are not used to walking close to God; tend to treat their “Christianity” as a convenience thing; a social club thing; a business thing; or a fire escape/trauma escape thing rather than an INTIMATE DANCE WITH GOD.

Those folks are likely to find themselves in enormous confusion, distress, problems . . . unless they confess, repent, quickly call on God and get on track WITH HIM.

God says through Paul in Scripture that

EVEN IF AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN COMES PREACHING/TEACHING

ANY OTHER GOSPEL THAN THE ONE PAUL HAS PREACHED—CONSIDER SAID ANGEL ACCURSED AND ETERNALLY DAMNED.

1. I think some of your DNA description is behind the current state of the art and science.

2. With 3 million to 4 million abductees, AT LEAST—some experts assert—per year—it is hard to say how many are ‘infected,’ oppressed, possessed with the ET programming, demonic influences, chiped, monitored, directed, brainwashed etc. etc. into whatever ‘army’ they are preparing for whatever scenarios—which no one seems to have much of a clue of. THEY JUST KNOW IT’S HAPPENING ON A MASSIVE SCALE.

JESSEAM, I doubt you have a lot to say about this topic, but if you do, would be very blessed to ready your opinions and comments.

To: Quix; All
Angels = Messengers = Employees, if you follow the ancient Hebrew.

Angles aren't anything special or beyond our comprehension.

They are just more...real.

And looking at one, like a man with a rifle, you might be seeing a soldier in defense of your freedom, or a mafia hit man sent to cap you.

Fortunately, they have to announce their allegiance before pulling the trigger, and supply name, rank, and mission (if properly interrogated).

I'm still puzzled by the majority *confused* reaction to this apparently universal protocol.

Ants, men, and angels are all subject to a common subset of laws.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Some of the ‘new-age’ or Neo-Pagan stuff I’m sort of familiar with, however not as it relates to the UFO and ET topics. I know there is some ‘overlap’ and a lot of unsound teaching that SOUNDS like it could be ‘Christian-based’, but in reality is not.

It is possible to see and interact with spirits or angels, BUT like you pointed out they need to be TESTED, and everything needs to line up with scripture or you know for sure they are NOT OF GOD, and are rather in league with the ultimate deceiver and trickster!

I’ll read over the thread a bit more, but in just scanning it briefly I don’t think I’m seeing anything I can give any insights on. Will post more later if I can though.

Yeah... Michael the Archangel would NOT be ‘down’ with that sort of a message. I feel bad for these folks who are channeling this type of information - if they really are and it’s not all a construct of their imagination attempting to cash in on eager believers.

If they really are ‘receiving’ this sort of information and this ‘spirit’ is calling itself the Archangel Michael then I would hazard a guess that they are dealing with a pretty strong Demonic force... I don’t believe that Satan’s ‘little leaguers’ would be attempting to steal Michael’s identity — they’d be too scared to even try.

SO TRUE!!! Angels do NOT attempt to deceive in any way - or at least the ones who haven’t FALLEN don’t! It’s actually VERY EASY to ‘test’ an Angel, or a ‘spirit’ or ‘demon’ claiming to be one. AND the FEELING associated with any interaction with a true messenger of God Himself is one that CANNOT be understood unless you’ve actually “been there”. It’s something that really cannot be put into words - at least none I’ve ever found.

I liked your analogy of the soldier or the hit man as well... Sometimes they are a combination of both, if you will. ESPECIALLY if they are relaying a message pertaining to a CHOICE one is being asked to make.

I find no scriptures which directs us to engage speaking to angels. Our conversations are to be with God. Because satan is indeed able to transform himself into an "angel" of light and even satan acknowleges Christ.

Therefor How would we, who are mortal, discern they are an angel to begin with? What do they look like? Please use scripture rather than "feelings" to address this as feelings can and do deceive us.

In old testament times pagan religions were a dime a dozen and with them various entity sightings etc. by those practicing the rites of these religions. We know this can occur for people who have previous occult practices or exposed themselves to them in our day.

In the middle east and india also the orient.. it is a common thing to "see" entities etc. but of course as Christians we understand the religious practices they adhere to would give way to them. These are not angels as they profess that they are, and we also know God directly states not to go thru those who can conjure them up which is either by others who channel or they are themselves taught how to. With the internet many now give lessons as we know.

Additionally God said that as that day approaches there would be things heard and seen which would not be from Him...even though we might believe so....and we are to guard ourselves from these deceptions.

I just cannot see how people who love and know the fullness of Christ can possibly give attention to any entity form claiming whatever they do to an individual. Why would you even consider when we have Christ?

Mary and Joseph I guess should have ignored the angels that came to them, right? I’m not talking about SEEKING it out.
