I don't even put my name to it. It was not for any kind of educational requirement, but for my own purposes. God put it on my heart and therefore I wrote it in obedience. I printed out small handouts and hand distributed it to over a 100 churches in the Maryland area. My aim is to encourage churches to keep to the faith when the fit hits the shan and they are given a choice to copitulate and keep their livelihood or to take up the cross and suffer. I hope I didn't come across as arrogant. I just get excited about this topic.<br />Hopeful_watcherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955133430002694128.post-76833857187985863602012-06-15T06:51:31.666-07:002012-06-15T06:51:31.666-07:00Good observation.

Why else would folks attack Jesus as He returns unless they thought He was evil (which THEY've been programmed to think) via sci-fi, etc. <br /><br />Makes me think of a Phillip Jose Farmer book, "Jesus of Mars" or something. It's basically a whole second coming theme, with aliens. I kick myself that I didn't buy it when I saw it.

As you say, they all sort of touch on the good vs evil and I didn't even realize it. I guess that's why you have a thesis and I have a blog :-) <br /><br />I'll make a note to check your thesis out.

I have to say, I don't think you did. Every numerated item you list in your blog entry is directly tied into this dichotomy. This dichotomy is the grease to the skids on every global Luciferian agenda and science fiction (and fiction of all sorts) is a reflection of that agenda, a.k.a. propoganda.<br /><br />Also, don't know if you ever read my thesis, but it is all about this. The title is, 'Woe to us when good defeats evil.'<br />https://sites.google.com/site/woetous/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955133430002694128.post-3274602010868000122012-06-13T17:52:36.723-07:002012-06-13T17:52:36.723-07:00Bleak and sadly true. I just bought a game called ...Bleak and sadly true. I just bought a game called N.O.V.A.3 for my phone. It's a bit like Halo, if you are familiar with that. <br /><br />It here is the basic premise and you tell me this doesn't push the Luciferian template. N.O.V.A. stands for near orbit vanguard alliance. Basically the world has totally deteriated to uninhabitable environment where we must escape to survival modules that float about in low orbit, i.e. a false rapture. Then the powers that be stumble upon an ancient artifact with mysterious technology that teaches them how to terriform the earth and make it habitable again, i.e. the ancient aliens. But not so fast an evil group of demonic like aliens want it for themselves and come to earth to take it, i.e. Jesus and the legion of angels.<br /><br />Get the picture? Worldly salvation is positioned as good to get people to fall in line to fight the REAL saviors. This flip happens ALL the time. The remake of Tron. The animated movie "Ant Bully". The epic movie, "Avatar" with the blue alien creatures. Go back and review.these movies and pay attention to all the references to some overbearing control freak.from the sky, which is God himself. And in each instance we are supposed to.fight.back for our worldly salvation. I tell you the human race is in SERIOUS trouble.hopeful_watchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955133430002694128.post-35670961000052006612012-06-13T11:20:42.781-07:002012-06-13T11:20:42.781-07:00Wow, that's bleakWow, that's bleakNo Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210257718658256236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955133430002694128.post-39107584651494647102012-06-13T08:51:02.723-07:002012-06-13T08:51:02.723-07:00Yeah, that's a very good observation. There i...Yeah, that's a very good observation. There is almost <i>always</i> some type of hegelian false dichotomy going on, preying on the simplistic mindset that there are "good guys" and "bad guys" out there. <br /><br />A couple of movies I've seen fairly recently really sort of shocked me as to what kinds of elements you see winding up on the "good guy" side...<br /><br />In "The Avengers", there is of course all the content which speaks towards transhumanism and everything, but the part I found perhaps most disturbing was the portrayal of the agency "S.H.I.E.L.D.". I found myself marveling at the fact that here is a movie where the "good guys" are basically a secret international organization, who have deep underground bases, a cloaked flying fortress, super advanced weapons technology, the ability to tap into every mobile device camera on the planet (to search for the "bad guys" of course) and who report to a mysterious, nameless, group of global leaders refered to as "The Council". <br /><br />The other one that left a real knot in my stomach was the movie "Contagion", where an outbreak of some new disease prompts the declaration of martial law. After the military has been dispatched all over the place, and no one can go in public (or buy and sell...) without their little bracelet to show that they had been vaccinated, the "happy ending" wasn't that the martial law was eventually lifted, but rather only that there was hope that everyone was finally going to be able to get the vaccine... (!) So the movie ends with this distopian, NWO scenario still in full effect, and it's like the movie never for a second even <i>questions</i> whether that could possibly be a bad thing! <br /><br />What does that say about where the mentality of audiences has come, to where we don't even bat an eye at things like total global surveillance, or military lockdown? We definitely see people being deluded to the point where they see evil as good, and good as evil....thetruthisstrangerthanfictionhttp://thetruthisstrangerthanfiction.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955133430002694128.post-62352120264110677012012-06-13T06:20:02.056-07:002012-06-13T06:20:02.056-07:00That's a really good catch.

It is not unique to science fiction as it has been around since story telling in general, however science fiction gives it new life in relation to end times.<br /><br />That is the meme of good versus evil. Of course we must conclude that there is in fact things that are good and things that are evil and they are often at odds with one another. However, this creates a huge pitfall for us. For Satan to elevate a one world government to become the savior of the world, all one must do is to stir up an evil so formindable that all who stand in opposition to that evil will be called good, I.e. aliens coming in to save the day. Once united under the antichrist, then we will be introduced to the "evil" aliens who come on the clouds and raise the dead. This is how the world gets.duped into fighting against God at Armagedon.<br /><br />Good versus evil is a false dichotomy. The correct dichotomy is righteousness versus sinfulness. This also fits biblically as we are told that in the end good will be called evil and evil will be called good.hopeful_watchernoreply@blogger.com
