Do you believe in Aliens? (Page 222)

jm_les_gens:

Corwin: I have extraterrestrials living in my attic. I can hear them thumping around up there during the wee hours, and sometimes they tip over my trash-cans.

I mean, sure, it COULD just be raccoons, but c'mon... what's more likely?

Right, Lori?

zeffur: The smart bet is on tiny sasquatch...

lori100: Rubio wants answers on 'UFOs' reported over US military posts
'There’s stuff flying over military installations and no one knows what it is, and it isn’t ours,' Rubio said

ghostgeek: Good luck to him getting them.

lori100: seth---"Your human stock did not all originate solely from your planet. I never told you that it did. In that respect your ancestry is indeed varied

ghostgeek: And why should we believe what an Ancient Egyptian god tells us?

ghostgeek: One that wasn't very nice.

lori100: not that seth

ghostgeek: How do you know it wasn't our chum fro Egypt?

lori100: not evil

ghostgeek: Really? How can you be sure he's not the Devil in disguise?

zeffur: You will know them by their fruit...
That's how we know what type of person you are...you display it daily with your endless distortions & false claims...

ghostgeek: Still doubting that it was Utnapishtim who built the Ark? Oh, you silly boy!

zeffur: re: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Mat 7:15-20 KJV

ghostgeek: Best be careful then, Zeff lad, that someone doesn't come along and chop you down. Better still, say after me: "Utnapishtim built the Ark."

zeffur: No need to be careful using words that are true---you are in a precarious position using words that are untrue...

ghostgeek: Nothing true in the Gospels unless you accept that Vespasian was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

zeffur: No one truly thinks/believes that Vespasian was Jesus in the His 2nd coming...

ghostgeek: Take another look at Mark's Gospel.

zeffur: Nothing in there indicates what you believe.

ghostgeek: What did the most to induce the Jews to start this war, was an ambiguous oracle that was also found in their sacred writings, how, about that time, one from their country should become governor of the habitable earth. The Jews took this prediction to belong to themselves in particular, and many of the wise men were thereby deceived in their determination. Now this oracle certainly denoted the government of Vespasian, who was appointed emperor in Judea.

[Flavius Josephus, Jewish War 6.312-313.]

ghostgeek: That is your starting point. Vespasian entered Galilee, trashed it, then moved on to Jerusalem. The city was put under siege, at the time of Passover, as Vespasian was becoming ruler of the known world.

zeffur: Where's your citation from the Gospel of Mark???

ghostgeek: Have a go at reading chapter 13. All those troubles that will come with Jesus' returns, and which will happen before all of his generation has died. If Jesus was talking around 30 AD and you add 40 years, the time some of the people listening to him might expect to have left, you get to the Jewish Revolt but no further.
