Here are some resources about aliens. To make a long story short, I believe that there are other beings on other planets. I believe (based on the Bible) that these beings are unfallen, sinless creatures. We seem to be like the lost sheep of the universe... the only planet marred by the blight of sin. They are just like Adam before the fall. I don't think they are going to be trying to visit us. However, Satan and his angels try to deceive us by making us believe that beings from other worlds will visit us. These videos and articles will try to explain why.
Here is a study about the 24 elders that explains my position on unfallen worlds besides our own.
Twenty Four Elders
I don't really agree with everything these sources say, but here they are. You can decide for yourself....
Bill Cooper-Alien Agenda
David Icke Debunked- because he promotes a lot about the alien greys
A History of Government Management of UFO Perceptions through Film and Television
There is a TON of other info online about aliens being demons or fallen angels. Most of it is very sensational. I will try to watch some of them and weed them out. I don't really subscribe to the whole story of Enoch, but I haven't looked into that much. I try to stick to the Bible, and I'm not convinced that the Book of Enoch is inspired canon.
New Info:
Demonic Alien Agenda Part 1 There are many parts to this video, and I don't agree with the whole thing. Of course, it's overly dramatic at times. The bottom line is that UFO's are more likely to be demons or fallen angels than actual beings from other planets contacting us. I don't really buy into the whole Nephilim theory that the fallen angels are making hybrid humans. This doesn't really fit with scripture. I believe that the angels can't reproduce (they neither marry nor are given in marriage). Maybe they could do genetic experiments, so that is possible. Who knows for sure? I do know that people have reported lots of UFO's and the media is playing up a theme of aliens and UFOs lately. Also, a lot of these "close encounters" come with a message that is strikingly similar to New Age ideology given by channeled entities. I think the whole alien phenomena is more closely related to the occult. The main thing that we need to do is study scripture and have a close relationship with Jesus Christ so that we are not deceived.

Our Spirits Don't Speak English: Indian Boarding School *Video*
Our Spirits Don't Speak English
“Our Spirits Don't Speak English: Indian Boarding School" is a Native American perspective on Indian Boarding Schools. This DVD produced by Rich-Heape Films, Inc. uncovers the dark history of U.S. Government policy which took Indian children from their homes, forced them into boarding schools and enacted a policy of educating them in the ways of Western Society. This DVD gives a voice to the countless Indian children forced through a system designed to strip them of their Native American culture, heritage and traditions. http://www.richheape.com/boarding-school.htm My brief commentary: Note that the Catholic church was involved with the "education" of native peoples. This illustrates the dragon-like quality of the United States. The US is the 2nd beast of Revelation that rises out of the earth with two horns like a lamb that spake as a dragon. The dragon was even working in this. Spiritual Incest: Jesuits to Pay $166 Million for Boarding School Abuse |
Whole Brain Teaching
I have been using this method while substitute teaching. All I have to say is that it works like MAGIC! I had learned about it a little bit in school. My husband is in school to teach elementary school now, and he learned about it in class. He got really excited and wanted to try it. I thought it would be stupid and no one would do it, but it really works. The students really like it too. I have tried this on ages ranging from 6th to 11th grade. They have many resources on the website and a forum too, so check it out!

Walter Veith-Total Transformation Series
http://amazingdiscoveries.org/webstore/us/p/veith-total-transformation
1. Co-dependence This lecture deals with the harmony and interdependence existing in the natural world. As the natural world is a lesson book on the character of God, the principles that we can learn there must also apply to us as individuals and to His Church.
Each creature in the natural world has a specific role to play and even if that role seems ignoble, it is still essential for the survival of the organisms around it, so we all have essential co-dependent interconnected roles to play on the world around us whereby we unselfishly supply the needs of others through our own labor. This DVD takes a lesson from nature for our own lives. Receive a glimpse of God’s order of things and His ideal world.

Armageddon
The signing of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty on March 26, 1979, marked an emotional moment in the history of the Middle East. After years of bitter animosity punctuated by military conflict, an Arab nation and a Jewish nation embraced each other with promises of peace.
What did it signify for the little pocket of Zionism whose struggles for survival have drawn United States approval and support? Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, before his death, was unable to provide the security and permanent peace which has eluded Israel since the days of Abraham. The answer to Israel’s dilemma is clearly revealed in the fantastic prophecies of the Bible.

Could Jesus Have Failed?
What If?
Ángel Manuel Rodríguez
This question, phrased in different ways, is often asked. And I'm always reluctant to deal with it because it is an invitation to speculate on matters about which we know nothing. What's surprising is that some take their speculations so seriously that they become dogmatic about them. Humility should be a fundamental characteristic of any Bible student.
In this particular case my reluctance is determined by what we do know. We know that Jesus did not sin. That should be enough. But those interested in the question press the issue: Could He have sinned? Had He sinned, what would have been the consequences of His sin? In order to avoid dealing with this question again, let me make some comments that you may or may not find helpful.

This is a pretty good compilation of clips and commentary by Megiddo films. I don't agree with the part about the literal State of Israel. Other than that, I thought it was very good.

What is Mysticism?
The term ‘mysticism,’ comes from the Greek μυω, meaning “to conceal.” In the Hellenistic world, ‘mystical’ referred to “secret” religious rituals. In early Christianity the term came to refer to “hidden” allegorical interpretations of Scriptures and to hidden presences, such as that of Jesus at the Eucharist.

The Truth About Hell
The topic of hell has raged through the ages, and the controversy is far from settled even within Christian circles. A Christian author and pastor named Rob Bell wrote the following in his book Love Wins: “It's been clearly communicated to many that this belief (in hell as conscious, eternal torment) is a central truth of the Christian faith and to reject it is, in essence, to reject Jesus. This is misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus' message of love, peace, forgiveness and joy that our world desperately needs to hear.” His message has been received with joy and anger alike. But while he rejects the most common understanding of hell, he doesn’t firmly adhere to a different one. He welcomes questioning and uncertainty on the matter.
We believe there is firm Scriptural truth about hell, and that your questions deserve sound Bible answers. This web site is wholly devoted to exploring and demystifying the Bible topic of hellfire. We believe the truth, as it is in Christ, can both broaden our understanding and draw into a closer relationship with God. If hellfire perplexes or scares you, or if you’re looking for answers instead of questions, we encourage you to spend a few minutes with us as we explore this controversial topic.
May God bless your search for truth!

Is Sunday Really Sacred? *Article*
Is-Sunday-Really-Sacred? | |
A Wrong Turn
One of David’s most beautiful prayers is recorded in Psalm 43:3. “O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.”
This same earnest petition to understand God’s Word should be in the heart of every sincere seeker for truth. A willingness to learn and to obey must characterize all of those who expect to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit. To such, the beautiful promise of the beatitude will be fulfilled. “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6).
Which Bible Version Is The Best?
I prefer literal translations such as the King James Version for serious study. However, newer versions can sometimes help with understanding the older style of writing. I would recommend studying with someone who has a different version or comparing two versions by yourself. Parallel Bibles are great for this!

Jewish Feasts
Feasts that Typify Christ's First Coming
Feasts that Typify Christ's Second Coming
The Jewish feasts were a shadow of something that would happen in the future. Therefore, when the type meets the anti-type, we do not have to keep the feasts anymore. See which feasts have already been fulfilled.

Here is a non-adventist site explaining another view on the feasts. Notice the first three and the last one are the same. The two differences are the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. It looks like much of the view is the same as the adventist view with those two differences.
Here is another view that shows a different interpretation of the feasts. This view says that the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles have NOT been fulfilled.
Here's yet another view that shows how confused everyone is regarding the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles. This interpretation says that possibly the Feast of Trumpets is the gathering of the church, the Day of Atonement is the second coming of Jesus, and the Feast of Tabernacles is the inauguration of the millennium.
I'm not trying to confuse anyone with these other viewpoints. I just want to make everyone aware of the differences. I have studied it myself and have concluded that the adventist interpretation makes the most sense and fits into the bigger picture the best. I encourage you to study it out for yourself!
Footnote regarding first fruits... this passage from Desire of Ages explains what happened with the saints that were raised at Jesus' crucifixion.

During His ministry, Jesus had raised the dead to life. He had raised the son of the widow of Nain, and the ruler's daughter and Lazarus. But these were not clothed with immortality. After they were raised, they were still subject to death. But those who came forth from the grave at Christ's resurrection were raised to everlasting life. They ascended with Him as trophies of His victory over death and the grave. These, said Christ, are no longer the captives of Satan; I have redeemed them. I have brought them from the grave as the first fruits of My power, to be with Me where I am, nevermore to see death or experience sorrow.

Christ's Human Nature *Article*
A FABRICATED LOOK-ALIKE?
The most dangerous counterfeit is the one that most nearly resembles the true. This is why religious counterfeits are so deadly and are often tolerated rather than identified and exposed. Christians in general are afraid that they will be misunderstood if they attack something that looks so much like the finest thing in religion. Since there is often only a thin line separating the best from the worst, they fear being charged with attacking the genuine if they oppose the counterfeit.
Has Satan fabricated some look-alike perversions of the most sacred doctrines in Christianity? Indeed he has, and the delicate distinctions have made even theologians and scholars very reticent to oppose them openly.

Pagan Practices:
Ecstatic language was a common form of worship in pagan temples.i It was well established in Ancient Byblos (1100 BC). Plato (429-347 BC) mentions it as a phenomenon in his time. He tells us that a person under divine possession received utterances and visions that the receiver did not understand.
These utterances were sometimes accompanied by physical healing of people present. Virgil (70-19 BC) tells us that the Sibylline priestess, when in prayer, united her spirit with the god Apollo and spoke in strange tongues.

Music in the Church
Music in the church is a touchy subject. I just got back from church where the pastor preached about how the youth need to be allowed to take leadership in the church today. The youth does need to be given some freedom. However, they need guidance as well. We cannot conform to the world to reach the world. Jesus says if we lift Him up, then we will draw all men unto him. How do we lift Jesus up in our music? Here are some resources that I have found helpful in the search for music that is pleasing to God. Sometimes, it is not about what pleases our own ears. The truth will draw those who seek it.

How to Save Tomato Seeds
Here are some other resources that will be helpful if you are interested in organic, heirloom gardening and seed saving. I would highly recommend planning your garden before planting. I also start seeds indoors before planting outdoors. Eldorado (listed above) sent us a garden planner with dates when you should plant each kind of vegetable. Check with your local co-op to find out when your last frost date will be and when you should plant certain things in your area. You should not plant certain plant families near each other or they will cross pollinate. See the links below for more details on cross-pollination.

Secret Rapture Deception *Article*
Secret Rapture Summary
It is our sincere and earnest prayer that this document will reveal to you the total unscriptural nature of the Secret Rapture doctrine. Instead of preparing God’s people to face the increasingly difficult days ahead, as tribulation intensifies, this Jesuit manufactured doctrine has deluded millions of Christians into a false notion of escapism. Instead of obeying the Lord’s command to resist evil and occupy until He comes, they have become so “rapture” minded that they no longer even resist the evil, believing that they will not defeat it, but instead be rescued from it.
Dominionism & the Rise of Christian Imperialism *Article*
Dominionism teaches:
The Gospel of Salvation is achieved by setting up the “Kingdom of God” as a literal and physical kingdom to be “advanced” on Earth in the present age. Some dominionists liken the New Testament Kingdom to the Old Testament Israel in ways that justify taking up the sword, or other methods of punitive judgment, to war against enemies of their kingdom. Dominionists teach that men can be coerced or compelled to enter the kingdom. They assign to the Church duties and rights that belong Scripturally only to Jesus Christ. This includes the esoteric belief that believers can “incarnate” Christ and function as His body on Earth to establish His kingdom rule. An inordinate emphasis is placed on man’s efforts; the doctrine of the sovereignty of God is diminished.

A look at The New Age Today
YOGA UNCOILED: From East to West
A look into the practice of Yoga in the Church
Many believe they can practice yoga postures, breathing, and focusing techniques devoid of yoga's spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity.
Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance and in America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in 20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading missionaries of eastern religion in the west. The twenty-seven billion dollar a year yoga industry is marketed to students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citizens promising solutions for stress reduction, concentration problems, and issues of self confidence.
Once viewed by Christians as a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in the church through "Christ-centered yoga classes" designed to help improve spirituality and experience "the presence of God". But is yoga's mysticism compatible with historic Christianity?
Video-journalist Caryl Matrisciana, who was born and raised in India, returns to her native land to search for truth among India's leading experts and examines what Christian Yoga practitioners in the West are saying about their Yoga participation.
With critical discernment, this hard-hitting and informative DVD explores the ramifications of dismissing yoga's core spirituality, and blending Biblical terminology and precepts with eastern meditative techniques and practices.

Via Ut Rome-Road to Rome *Video*
Today, more than ever before, people are alarmed as they observe the restless, strained relations that exist among the nations of this planet. This is a generation that is searching for answers, a generation that wants to know what lies behind the news headlines. Many are starting to wonder if there is some major, unseen, secretive force that is motivating and, perhaps, manipulating unfolding scenes on the global stage. Via Ut Roma (Road to Rome), is one of the most revealing, startling, timely and up-to-date documentaries on prophetic revelation and current events that you may ever see. This DVD is Part One of the Evidence Project. http://rekindlingreformation.com/store/via-ut-roma-way-to-rome-dvd-part-1-p-336.html
Amazing Discoveries *Website*
http://amazingdiscoveries.org/
Our basic beliefs are condensed into four primary teachings, the four “C”s:
Christ—We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and fully God and fully man (See Hebrews 2). He is our ONLY means of salvation, and it is only by His grace and His grace alone are we saved. We can do nothing to earn our salvation.
Cross—Jesus' death and resurrection is our way to heaven. Because of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, we can be looked upon as perfect if we accept His atoning sacrifice in our behalf.
Commandments—Because of our love for Jesus and thankfulness for what He has done for us, we choose to keep God’s commandments (See John 14:15). This includes the Fourth Commandment, which tells us that we must keep the Sabbath on the seventh day.
Coming Again—We believe that Jesus is coming again in the clouds of heaven. As the Bible says, we will meet him in the air (See 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

The Century of Self *History VIDEO*
The Century of Self
The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires. Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book, from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to eroticising the motorcar. His most notorious coup was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom. But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people could be made happy and thus docile. It was the start of the all-consuming self which has come to dominate today's world.

Jehovah's Witnesses
I was recently asked about Jehovah's Witnesses, so I thought I would post some resources about it. I believe that JW's are very sincere, devoted people. They should not be stereotyped. They seem to have a lot of things right. For example, I agree with them about not celebrating paganized Christian holidays, birthdays, etc. I am not dogmatic about it... I think it's a personal choice.

The Big Religion Chart
You know I love charts, and here is a big one! I like that you can click for a more detailed article about each religion. This website, as far as I can tell, seems to be an accurate and unbiased source for information comparing religions.
The Big Religion Comparison Chart
The Big Religion Comparison Chart
The ReligionFacts "Big Religion Chart" is an attempt to summarize all the complexities of religions and belief systems into tiny little boxes on a single, quick-reference comparison chart. Yes, of course this is impossible. As we always warn with our comparison charts, this is no substitute for reading about religions in greater detail, talking with religious adherents, etc. But this religion comparison chart can (hopefully) be a useful and accessible way to "get the gist" of some unfamiliar groups and compare basic beliefs and practices of the world's religions and belief systems. Currently, 43 belief systems are listed.
Despite the chart's simplistic title, we have been very inclusive with what is regarded as a "religion" for purposes of this comparison chart. Basically, the grounds for a group's inclusion are that it provides a set of teachings and/or rituals that deal with the traditionally "religious" issues of ultimate reality, the meaning of life, and/or how to find fulfillment, spiritual health or salvation. Also, all the groups listed below can be found in dictionaries of religion.
Inclusion of a group on this list does not mean that the group is a "religion" per se (note that atheism is listed) or a "true religion" or that one group is just as much a religion as another group. Similarly, if a group does not appear on this chart it doesn't mean it's not a religion or doesn't matter; the chart is not comprehensive and will continue to grow. Finally, listing groups separately does not mean they are mutually exclusive, nor does grouping them together mean that they are basically the same thing. This is not an authoritative list of religions, simply a resource on some worldviews and ways of life that hopefully some will find useful.

Spiritual Formation
What's so bad about spiritual formation? (Article Series)
Video: The New Spirituality & The Emergent Church
What's so bad about spiritual formation?
Author: John Witcombe
Summary: Spiritual formation is a popular new way to draw near to God. But beneath the good intentions lie dangerous practices that can in fact pull people towards occultism rather than God.
The spiritual formation movement is spreading rapidly throughout the Christian community. The concept of being formed spiritually is not wrong in itself, but many practices that accompany the movement miss the mark. Often, mystic rituals do not glorify the true God but can instead lead us into dangerous spritualism.
