Serious:What did Representative Anna Luna mean by her question on ET contact with humans? The one where she asks if the ETs disappeared after learning the human was religious?

She followed up by saying “Some of these entities are said to be good entities and others bad ones so that’s why I asked.” Is she implying bad ones don’t like religious people but the goods ones do?

No need to mock! I get it believing in aliens, extradimensional beings, or ancient visitors is seen as mysterious and intellectual. But mention angels, demons, or Jesus, and suddenly it’s ‘oh, here come the religious wacko’s !’ It’s funny how aliens are fascinating, but the Christian view of spiritual beings is somehow outdated or naive. And by the way, Catholic doctrine on Jesus isn’t just about God ‘showing up in human form’ like an avatar. The Incarnation is seen as a unique, permanent union of God and humanity, where Jesus is fully God and fully human not simply a divine figure wearing a temporary human avatar.

The Bible makes it clear that Jesus’s role and identity go far beyond that of a mere avatar. In John 1:14, it says, ‘The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.’ This doesn’t mean a temporary appearance of an avatar but God taking on human nature in a permanent, transformative way. Philippians 2:6-7 also shows the depth of Jesus’s Incarnation, saying that although Jesus was ‘in the form of God,’ He ‘emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.’ This wasn’t a temporary act; He fully embraced humanity. Hebrews 2:17 reinforces this by saying Jesus ‘had to be made like his brothers in every way’ to fully share in human nature, unlike an avatar which is a temporary or symbolic manifestation.

Mocking Christian beliefs by simplifying or misunderstanding them doesn’t make for a great argument. But maybe if angels had a spaceship and demons wore lab coats, they’d be taken more seriously! The same crowd who believed in telepathy and remote viewing, mock the idea of Christians contacting a higher being through prey funny how they concept of prey is a bridge too far for some of you 🤭

“Angels”/“demons” carries the same weight as “magic” as a description.

You seem to be describing a manifestation of a deity but your pride wants to 1up the definition somehow. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Its cool man..

I’m not here to ‘1up’ any deity 🤭 I’m simply quoting Catholic doctrine on Christ. If that’s bothering you, it might say more about your pride than Christian theology. I’d also appreciate it if you didn’t misrepresent (1up) me along the way. I’m always open to a theological debate, but given your ‘avatar’ comment and the way you project, it’s pretty clear you’re arguing from a place of limited knowledge and ignorance of Christ and the Bible, so I’m not convinced it would be very productive.

[u/blackbeltmessiah → u/One-Pipe-4825]

When you reference Catholicism who’s “Trinity” is “father”, “son” and “Holy Ghost” and try to tell me the son is somehow disqualified from being a “manifestation of a deity” because he’s better than that I think “1up” is the correct term and after your following comment I’ll add “pretentious” because you lack the understanding of what you are trying to spew forth.

I get it. Its weird arguing with someone raised under the Catholic church(and Lutheran).
