I have to ask

[Debi]

This is a legit question. Not trying to be sarcastic here. This astronaut asked God about aliens in prayer. Now, if he didn't know something or have something leading him to believe they are real, what led him to pray about what "they" are? And why would he knowingly risk his reputation by talking about aliens? Thoughts?

Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke, one of just 12 humans to walk on the Moon, told Glenn Beck that he believes some “aliens” may be better understood as demonic rather than extraterrestrial.

Duke told Glenn Beck that he does not believe in alien life or extraterrestrial civilizations. He said that after praying about the question twice, he felt God had clearly shown him that these UFO-type beings were actually demonic.

In his view, they are real spiritual beings, not aliens from other planets, and their purpose was to distract people from the true God by appearing superhuman and powerful.

He mentioned that the Bible said Satan could appear as an “angel of light,” and he compared these appearances and impossible maneuvers, like turning 90 degrees at 3,000 miles an hour, to that kind of demonic deception.

He admitted that many people laughed at him for this belief, but he said he did not care because he trusted what he believed God had told him in answer to his prayers. So he openly said he was convinced they were demonic beings and not advanced alien civilizations somewhere in space. For him, the whole alien narrative was a distraction that pulled people away from God.

I feel that any beings who kidnap people against their will and invade their bodies with instruments, cause trauma for many years, and subject them to ridicule...They can't be of God. But I am conflicted. What if they don't know better? OTOH, what if aliens really don't' exist, and it has been humans who have reached technological advancements unheard of, and are using it for evil endeavors?

What about both ? Demonic. But also some friendly space explorers.
I would like to think that the demons would want us to launch off all of our nuclear weapons. And the sightings over nuclear weapons sites that suddenly shut down , maybe the friendly's.

i dont know why he would pray about aliens, perhaps a conflict of faith. he has seen and did something most people will never see or do, therefore expanding his mind perhaps possibly beyond his beliefs. creating a conflict he is stuck trying to understand. the "alien" part could be a focal point or a starting point for that understanding. just a figment of "what if" and "why"........ if the truth came out, religion would take the hardest hit. if aliens were demons they wouldnt need to destroy us with warfare... they could possibly destroy all religion in a single swoop. he could also just be using this as a method / platform / opportunity to push his beliefs. been done before by, well, by just about everyone who has the stage at some point....lol.

"He mentioned that the Bible said Satan could appear as an “angel of light,” "


i always wondered why people think that they would be grotesque, ugly, terrifying, or horrific looking.... they were angels before the fall. i imagine they would be the most beautiful thing most people have ever seen............. i mean thats kinda what led to the fall of the "watchers" and how they were able to mate with mankind to begin with..

the horrible looks people have come to expect were from artistic expression through the centuries that people have come to expect.

Here's a video that might be on interest. I haven't had time to watch it, but its on my list. I've heard Jimmy Akin say several time that there's no reason to believe aliens are demonic, without substantiating facts. I enjoy watching Jimmy because he uses common sense in his answers, and knows his facts before saying anything:

Call them what every you like but the ones that go against free will with abductions are evil in my opinion. I too think they move interdimensionally. Does this make them demons? call them what you want but the actions speak for themselves.
