The Cast: The Magi

A Different Approach

This post is a  continuation of the preceding post concerning the Birth of Christ.

3. The idea that the gods had offspring with human women is a recurring thought in ancient writings.  It is found in Greek mythology, in Babylonian and Egyptian writings as well as in the Bible.  When the sons of the gods had sexual intercourse with the daughters of men, the Bible tells us, their offspring were mighty men of renown. Gen.6:4.

A mighty man of renown is not what Jehovah wanted when Christ was born.  He must have a perfect human being.   I see it this way; Jehovah, an ET, had made a deal with Satan, the God of this world. 2 Cor. 4:4.  Simply stated, the deal said, either a perfect human must pay the ransom price for the mortal race or none of mankind will have a chance at eternal ecstasy.  Jesus Christ is both a perfect human and the Son of God and so He could fulfil all the requirements laid down by Satan.

The God of the Jews, Jehovah, at crucial times, in the history of his chosen people, guided the lineage of Mary, the mother of Christ.  It was found that she, through careful genealogical programming, had the right genes to become the mother of Christ, the Son of Jehovah.  

The Lord, having chosen the young woman from among the Jewish people, sent an angel, whose name was Gabriel. He was bearing the divine seed with him, and through artificial insemination, implanted the seed, and the young virgin was pregnant.  In this way, Christ was, in fact, the Son of Jehovah and the son of human lineage.

From reading the story of the conception and birth of Christ, in the Bible, it is easy to arrive at the aforementioned conclusion if we are willing to look beyond the Church's closed minded teachings.

The Magi are Guided

What if you knew what stars looked like but didn't know what an airplane was? What would you call the airplane lights? ... Now, if I were to tell you that last night I saw a set of flashing stars that moved across the sky, what would you say? Would you agree that they were stars, or would you tell me that I really saw an airplane?

... Remember, the wise men knew what stars were, but probably didn't know what UFOs were:

At the time that Christ was born, as was normal, there were shepherds looking after their sheep, out in the fields.  At night, while they were watching their flocks, the light from a UFO shone all around them.  The shepherds were afraid of the spacecraft, so one of the Lord’s robots came closer to them and said, do not be afraid, this UFO has not come to hurt you. I bring you good news of great joy, which will come to all people. Luke 2:10

Here, suddenly, a new stage is set.  The focal point is no longer, The Lord of Israel.  The new theme is, peace on earth; great joy shall be to all people (nations), for Jesus, the Lord of Peace, is not a national god as were the gods of the UFOs.  He is the Son of Jehovah, and He will later pay the penalty required by Satan, the god of this world. 2 Cor. 4:4.

Jehovah wanted the whole world to become involved with His Son; The Messiah: 

• The Romans were involved, for they had the military rule of Judea at that time. 
• The Greeks, the intellectuals, were always looking for a new story to write or argue about, and they heard about the Messiah naturally, in the course of their activities. 
• The Jews, being kin to the mother of Christ, were involved because of that. 
• One class of people needed to be called to the scene; the mystics; the astrologers from the East.

The wise men of the East, as would be expected, responded to the new light in the sky; a light moving from the East to the West. They decided to follow the "star", and when they arrived at their destination, the light shone down on a stable in Bethlehem.

Some scholars believe that since Jupiter and Saturn were in conjunction at that time they appeared to be a bright star.  That light certainly cannot have been from normal "stars" or planets (even if they were in conjunction).  How can stars or planets in conjunction shine down on one particular spot in any one city? 

The same argument must be used against the idea that the light was from a meteor; a meteor does not shine down on only one small area.  The people who advance these hair-brained opinions surely cannot have thought very carefully about the ideas they present.

We may as well speculate that the light was produced by a spacecraft?  It meets all the necessary requirements.  In their past, the Jews had followed a beam of light through the Red Sea and in their wilderness wanderings!
  
In this case, a UFO could provide a light shining down to guide the Magi.   It had the ability to move at the right speed so that the wise men and their camels could keep up with it on their journey of approximately 750 miles.  Also, it could wait for them while they needed to stop and rest.   It could shine down on any small town because it was close enough to earth to "spotlight" it.  It could direct its beam to any chosen spot in that town: namely the stable in Bethlehem.

That this light, which the Magi followed, was produced by a UFO is the most likely theory that has yet been presented.  If only we would be willing to open our minds and look past od religious hang-ups.

The Cast: Christ, the Birth of the Super Hero

Parthenogenesis

While questioning old theological doctrines and bringing forth new theories, there are, of course, many un-thought of questions and many seeming contradictions.  Most of these problems can be solved though if a person is willing to lay aside many age-old suppositions and narrow-minded prejudices.  It becomes necessary to remove from ones thinking many of the basic and unscriptural teachings of the church.  

As a Christian, one wants to be careful not to disparage anything concerning Christ’s personality or holiness.  Yet, if one insists that the Lord of the Jews, Jehovah, is an ET and that Christ is His son, then one must also believe that Jesus Christ is the son of an ET.  The following statements may sound sacrilegious, but they are not meant to be.

In speaking of Christ, I should probably repeat here that I do not accept the doctrine of the Trinity.  It is obviously a doctrine created by the Roman Catholic Church about three hundred years after the death of Christ.  

I know of three different theories concerning the immaculate conception of Christ.  Here, of course, I exclude those theories that say the story is based on lies, or that Mary was not aware of, or did not admit, her past activities. 

1. The word used for this theory is parthenogenesis, it is simply the Greek way of saying virgin birth. 

This theory simply states that a female body has all the chemicals needed to produce a child by itself.  In a blog called "Slate", Melinda Wenner Mayer wrote, "So, while it is possible for a human baby to be born of a virgin mother, it's very, very unlikely..." She placed the likelihood of that happening at much less than one in a billion.

Den Poitras in a post called, PARTHENOGENESIS: women’s long-lost ability to self-conceive, on the blog, World Mysteries, wrote, It is said that Buddha's mother conceived her son when is a state of blissful meditation under a banyan tree. Mary conceived Jesus in more or less the same way. It's also been said that Leonardo Divinci, possibly Joan of Ark, ... and scores more geniuses, visionaries and healers throughout history are claimed to have come about this way.

If many of the lower species can, and do, conceive Parthenogenetically, I don't think it's too shocking to assume that humans also can.  

In that same post Mr Poitras quotes Dr Raymond Bernard, Some...dermoid cysts, sometimes mistaken by surgeons for tumors, ...really are embryos, ...similar in all respects to the products of gestation, containing bones, hair, teeth, flesh, glands, portions of the scalp, face, eyes, ribs,—–in short, all the organs of the human body—what else could they be but virgin embryos in the process of development?”

Theologians have, ever since the days of Saint Paul, argued that sin entered the human race through Adam, not through Eve.  He wrote, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world. Rom. 5:12.  Eve was deceived, and so, not at fault, but Adam knew what he was doing, therefore he is to blame.  Isn't it reasonable then, to argue that if a child is born to a virgin, that child would not be burdened with all the negative aspects imparted by a sinful human father?

If this theory holds any interest for you, I strongly recommend that you read Mr Poitras's post.

2. The teaching that the church has held for about twenty centuries. The holy spirit came upon the virgin, Mary, and she became pregnant.  Mary asked the visiting angel, How can this happen? I am not married!  The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come down to you, and God’s power will come over you. So your child will be called the holy Son of God. Luke 1:33-35

That teaching leads us directly into the third theory with which I will continue in my next post.

The Cast: Daniel, the Prognosticator

Laser Emitters In The Bible

It was recently mentioned that the word, vision, can refer to, either, a mental image, or, to the seeing of a real object. It seems that many visions of the Bible, and throughout church history, have been enacted by a saucerian cast and then electrically portrayed to certain individuals.

In 586 BCE the Babylonian army successfully fought against Judah and took many of its elite citizens as captives back to Babylon.   For the background to this bit of history, I suggest:
http://spaceshiptheology.blogspot.com/2015/07/76-nebuchadnezzar-destroys-jerusalem.html

Daniel and his friends were among those who were taken away.  King Nebuchadnezzar was interested in having new ideas among the prestigious in his court, and so he arranged to have the smartest and most handsome Jewish young men move into the palace.  Besides being ten times better than that of any of his other advisors and magicians. Daniel also had the gift of interpreting dreams.  More than that, though, Daniel could even tell the king what the king had dreamed.

For a little of the following piece of history see:                                        http://spaceshiptheology.blogspot.com/2015/07/77-cyrus-captures-babylon.html

After Belshazzar ascended the throne of Babylon, one evening while the court was partying and drinking, Suddenly a human hand was seen writing on the plaster wall of the palace. The hand was just behind the lampstand, and the king could see it writing.  Daniel 5:5.  That which was written was Jehovah's message to King Belshazzar.  

We have been taught that it was God who wrote the message, even though the Bible does not say that.  If the Almighty, non-physical God, did the writing, why did a human looking hand also appear in the vision?  The spiritual, ever-present God does not have hands – or, at least, that is what the Bible teachers have told us.  

It is much more logical to believe that many visions were being acted out on a spacecraft and that something like a camera and a transmitter were being used to show the vision to earthlings.  The people throughout history who have seen visions did not have physical receivers, such as TVs, with which to pick up the signals.  Therefore, another kind of transmitter was required.

Modern day science has developed that kind of transmitter.  It is possible with a laser emitter to portray a scene on any wall, the way Belshazzar saw it, or even in mid-air.  (I have seen a laser emitter write words in the air.)  There is nothing to indicate that devices similar to this could not have been used by scientifically progressive saucerians.

Many spectacular sights, or visions, have been seen against the backdrop of the sky.  Reference to one such vision is evidence of its possibility.  The sightings of, The Lady of Fatima, as the vision has come to be known, began happening in the spring of 1916 in...Portugal.

Three youngsters, ... [were] tending sheep when suddenly a strong wind swept along the hillside...a ball of light came steadily toward them until they were enveloped in it, and then they saw the luminous figure of a man materialize in the glow.” If this was all that would have happened concerning that vision one could discard it as fantasy of children at play. However, in different forms the vision kept on repeating itself to many different people at specifically pre-stated times. At first, it was the angel who called himself “the angel of Portugal”. The later visions were of “Our Lady of Fatima", she never came down to the ground, seeming always to float at the top of a small holm oak. God Drives a Flying Saucer. Dione. Bantam Books, New York.

June 13, about fifty curious onlookers saw the vision.   The vision of July 13 was witnessed by more than 3000 sightseers and more than 20,000 people saw the vision in Sept.   If so many people agree on having seen the same thing at the same time, we are almost forced to concede that the sightings are real.   

To insist that these visions are Satan inspired is to contradict Christ.   In all these visions, the message was for the people to start praying and to live a God-pleasing life.  If Satan was to teach that message, his "house” would be divided against itself and it would collapse by his own doing.  This, according to Christ, is not going to happen.

Sometimes, in the past, when the gods had a special message for the world they would draw pictures or write words in the sky.  Until now, this has seemed so fantastic to humans that they have believed them to come from the Almighty.  

Times are changing, even humans can write words in the sky or portray pictures in mid-air.  The gods will need to come up with a new technique for communicating with us if we are to continue believing that they are infinite.  If they do not, we may not much longer hear what they are saying to us because their method of communication will no longer appear to be supernatural.

Daniel

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. Dan.7:13.KJV.  In this verse Daniel is seeing the future; the setting is in preparation for the white throne judgement, which all people will face, at the end of time. Daniel 7:22.

Even if he would have used the word “vision” throughout the book, it still does not rule out the idea of seeing something physically.  Dr Strong tells us that, in Greek, the word, vision, #4758, means, the act of gazing.  It can mean, either (external) an aspect or (internal) an inspired appearance.  So, according to Dr Strong, the word, vision, leaves the meaning wide open to be a spiritual vision, as we normally think of biblical visions, or it can be a scene which can be seen with physical eyes.

In Daniel's vision, again, we see the, almost proverbial, clouds associated with a UFO, and coming in the clouds is Christ Jesus, the son of man.  He is brought into the presence of Jehovah, His Father.

Daniel sees Jehovah sitting on His throne.  Most older translations describe Jehovah as the Ancient of Days, but some newer translations have changed it to, the Eternal God.  Again, it appears that they did this to make the Bible agree with church theology.  

Strong, in his Dictionary of Hebrew Words, tells us that, Ancient (#6268) of days, does not mean, the Eternal God, but it means, venerable; old.  There is absolutely nothing in this story that speaks of Jehovah as being eternal or almighty.  However, it tells us that Jehovah has aged!

Which leaves lots of room for us to believe that He is an alien!
