The Interpretation Gap: Ancient worldview: “We saw powerful beings with animal heads / multiple faces / radiant light / flying chariots → These must be gods or servants of the gods.” Modern worldview: “We see similar strange beings and phenomena → These must be hallucinations, archetypes, myths, or (more recently) aliens.”

@AbigailFalanga That is because the Bible wasn't meant to disclose life in the Universe 2,000 years ago. I recommend reading the book Life in the Universe by Marshall Vian Summers.

I have of thoughts about this, both as a Christian and as a sci-fi writer, but I'm not sure I can neatly condense them. Basically, this is usually proposed by secular thinkers who don't understand how religion works, but there's a lot more to it than that.

@MrBroBotBrian @ventkatczinsky @tanylake If aliens are rebranded to demons, that tells me Christians are not ready for what's coming.

@ventkatczinsky @tanylake Aliens are rebranded demons and you are falling for the deception that’s coming. Biblical Christianity stands ready.

This is exactly what the devil wants. Aliens are demons.

@tanylake Or demons are actually aliens.

Honest question here: Is there a double standard in how we evaluate similar-looking experiences across time? Ezekiel (and Enoch) had dramatic, overwhelming encounters with luminous beings, strange aerial phenomena, missing time-like states, physical effects, and profound messages. These are preserved in scripture and treated as authentic divine revelations. But when individuals had a dramatic, overwhelming encounters with luminous beings, orbs, missing time, physical effects (healings), and messages about humanity’s future, these are treated by many as “contactee / New Age / UFO” experiences and often dismissed or viewed with suspicion. Were Enoch and Ezekiel also not tools of greater intelligences in the Universe? Could it be that humanity has always being manipulated by advanced extraterrestrial beings, with different agendas? #disclosure

It is not that aliens invalidate religions. It is that religions try to invalidate God's creation in the Universe. They say that the Bible don't mention aliens, like if the Bible was written for that purpose. If religions don't adapt to this reality, yes, they will dissappear because they can't serve humanity's new reality in the Greater Community of Intelligent Life.

Why do people think this? How would the existence of aliens invalidate Christianity, or really any religion? It makes no sense to me.

No, they don't. The beings involved in a silent takeover of our planet would rather you think of them as something they are not. Which is why people who say "these are beings from other star systems" are routinely ridiculed and dismissed. That's the program they're running.

This isn't sci-fi fantasy. Cities like Singapore, Copenhagen, and projects in China and the UAE are already moving in this direction with green walls, rooftop farms, and massive rewilding efforts. The future is green... and high-tech. #greenengineering

@StealthQE4 People need to stop listening to this imbecile. Trump is a loser.

Lies. Delusional.

🚨| La claridad de un acueducto del imperio Romano, de hace 2000 años

Blast from the past: the Iran nuke deal of 2015 was an effective, if flawed, deal that was a substantial effort that would have ensured Iran never got a bomb and reduced the chances they would ever have been a threat to Israel. By destroying it in 2018, president Trump lit the fuse for the unnecessary wars of 2025 and 2026, and now we will likely never get as good of a deal in the future. And the gravest blow of all for President Trump politically, is that now Iran is in the strongest position it has EVER been in (w control of Straits); a position it would never have had were it not for Trump’s unconstitutional wars of choice. This old tweet shows his judgement has always been bad on this topic.

@ScottJenningsKY Delusional and propagandistic analysis.

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following: -USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation. -Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done. -Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front. -Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing. -Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon. -Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz. Deal should have 2 phases: Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium. Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief. Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days. “If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says. SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort. Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz. If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing. “Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

@BRICSinfo People keep falling for this, unbelievable.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian state media says there is a possibility the US-Iran draft agreement will be canceled.

IF there is PEACE in Iran, and that remains to be seen, you can thank those of us who pushed back hard on Trump. I have said it many times, Trump doesn't respond to praise from those he considers less than himself, make no mistake if you aren't a public figure he doesn't view you on the same level. The only thing that works with Trump is massive pressure, we should congratulate ourselves for having the courage to fight against the war machine.

@Nostre_damus Seriously. Are we still taking the Trump administration seriously?

Why did Trump TACO yesterday & escalated today? He got that backwards

@realannapaulina You are crazy and delusional.

EVERY American should be supporting POTUS during these PEACE negotiations ref Iran. He knows what he is doing.

@StealthQE4 Israel only has this window of opportunity before the midterms. It is now or never for Israel, they are not going to let this chance of getting the US to attack Iran go to waste.

Looks like their close. Lot of back and forth throughout the evening. We will find out something either way today. It looks like they’re slowly making progress.

@SpeakerJohnson You are not fit to be the speaker of the House.

President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.

You embarrass yourself and your office, Mr. Johnson: there *was* a golden deal hand delivered to President Trump on 26 February that actually WAS better than Obama’s JCPOA - but the president rejected that great deal and instead chose war. Now, bc of his foolish and unconstitutional decision, we *have* to negotiate, from weakness, w Iran. And still the Strait is under Iranian control, something that only exists bc - again - of the war of choice. Absent that bad decision, there would b no need for a negotiated settlement, especially one that likely leaves Iran in charge of the Strait

@StealthQE4 I'm all for peace but all this feels like BS.

Trump did not surrender to Iran. He played his only hand. GTFO out of there. Props to him for having the balls to do it. There were way worse outcomes than this. The situation was hurting Americans a lot. I’m just hoping this deal doesn’t get sabotaged. 🙏
