Zombies And Aliens


Recommended Posts

  • Members

If any of you spend any time in the "world", especially online, you'll notice that "zombies" are becoming a HUGE thing right now. Aliens too, but particularly zombies.

I can't help but think about the devil starting the deception....if people think about aliens and zombies long enough, it will explain away the rapture and the tribulation fairly effectively.....

I saw a short video on YouTube put out by a church which begin with the preacher preaching about the guy who fell out the window and died while Paul preached late at night. Then it shows a guy in the church nodding off. His head jerks up, he looks to his right and there is a zombie sitting next to him. He turns to his wife and asks if she saw that and his wife is a zombie. He screams, jumps up, the zombies all come after him, his son, the preacher and the whole congregation are now zombies chasing him out of the church.

The guy ends up running into an abandoned building where the zombies corner him and he falls out a window. He wakes up in church, jumping from his seat yelling, to which he tries to make it seem as if he was yelling hallelujah. The video ends with a warning not to fall asleep in church because it's dangerous.

On another note, one of the reasons often given in zombie stories for the rise of zombies is Scripture from Revelation, in particular where it speaks of the raising of the dead, the sea giving up the dead, etc. Of course those verses are taken out of context and misused, but the biblical reference is often put forth as a possible explanation of what is occuring.

The most disturbing thing I've seen regarding zombies is the t-shirts and websites which call Christianity the religion of zombies. They compare Jesus who has risen from the dead with zombies. They compare the Lord's Supper to zombies (eating His flesh, drinking His bood). Totally blasphemous and disturbing.

Not just aliens and zombies, but the fascination with nephilim has also increased. Some Christians believe they are already walking amongst us.


Yes, it seems that way. Nephilim were simply big, tall, people; nothing more and nothing less. Genesis 6 never says the giants were the sons of God. It only makes a statement that there were giants, followed by a semicolon, and the "sons of God" were living "after" their "model", if you will.The "Sons of God" were believers( named in the lineage of Christ) like Lamech, Enoch, and Methuselah. Methuselah, for instance, lived for 969 years "begatting sons and daughters"(Genesis 5). By the time Methuselah died,(the year of the flood) his progeny surely would have multiplied into a nation with a huge population during his lifetime, making himself and his nation of progeny economically(see "mighty man of wealth" ), politically(marriage alliances) and militarily. Methuselah and his huge "family" would truly be "mighty men" "after" the similitude of the 'giants' In other words, a force to be reckoned with. I personally believe these 'sons of God" like Methuselah, were polygamists.(they took them "wives of all" ). Noah, the last 'son of God', the Bible says, was different: he was "perfect" in his "generations"(genesis 6). Adam's generations' were his progeny(see Genesis 5). How can a man be "perfect" in his "generations"? By marrying ONE wife who is a believer, and exclusively "generating" all of your offspring by that one wife. That, I believe, is exactly what Noah did. He was a one-woman man. But back to Nephilim; they weren't angel/human hybrids. Edited by heartstrings

The interesting (freaky!) thing is today they are working on human/animal hybrids. :vomit: If the Nephilim were some weird hybrid thing - that makes it just a bit more like the 'days of Noah.'

The passage about Noah being perfect in his generations was referring to his mature spiritual walk before and after the flood, not about how he begat children. Generation(s) in the Bible never refers to "generating," as you called it.

There is also nothing in Genesis five to indicate the saved men in the line of Seth married multiple wives. The blot on their record was due to their line intermarrying with unbelieving women.

Then please give your explanation of what the "
generations of Adam were.........
Genesis 5:1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son...........

...and here, what were the "generations" of Noah's sons?
Genesis 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.............

Both passages are chronicles of progeny,. The word "generations" comes from the very same root word that "generator" does. And a generator.......generates too..


There is also nothing in Genesis five to indicate the saved men in the line of Seth married multiple wives.
Really? it says they took wives(plural) of "all". That does indicate at least the possibility of polygamy. We do know one man "Lamech" who definintely did so. He had two wives. So if these guys were disobedient and wayward enough to be taking unbeleiving wives, The other indication is what Jesus said in the NT: Jesus said they were "marrying" which possibly indicates actively practicing marriage.

The men (plural) took wives (plural) - doesn't mean each man took multiple wives. Lamech was from the ungodly line.

Genesis four and five lists the generations of people from Adam's time until the flood - generations of Adam, meaning man or mankind (and the context of verses 1-2 show that God was using the term Adam in his way, then He goes on to individuals in verse 3), showing how many generations there were during this time period. Noah lived in two entirely different generations - the one before the flood (and all except those kept safe within the ark died), and the generation after the flood.

No need to look for some unique definition of the word generation(s).
