"Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but
they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have
they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle
not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they
through their throat. They that make them are like unto
them; so is every one that trusteth in them."
Psalms 115:4-8, KJV

"As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house
of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and
their priests, and their prophets, Saying to a stock, Thou
art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth:
for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face:
but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and
save us. But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee?
let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy
trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy
gods, O Judah."
Jeremiah 2:26-28, KJV

"For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a
tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman,
with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they
fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They
are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs
be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for
they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
. . . But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
is a doctrine of vanities."
Jeremiah 10:3-5, 8, KJV

So how is the worship of false gods and goddesses of the past
related to our current discussion concerning New Age thought
and UFOlogy? Simply put, just as the Israelites, the Greeks,
the Romans, and a host of other heathen nations robbed God of
His Glory by replacing Him with deaf and dumb idols of their
own making, New Agers and UFO cultists are essentially doing
the very same thing when they attempt to reduce "El Shaddai",
the Almighty God, to a race of almond-eyed, grey skinny-armed
aliens who travel throughout the Universe in order to conduct
genetic experiments and seed life on inhabitable worlds.

In both cases, such people are stealing the Glory from God,
pushing the one true God to the side, and giving credit for
the Creation to someone, or to something else. Regardless of
whether it is an ancient god, a modern-day alien, or a false
theory like EVILution, the result is still the same: God is
being taken out of the picture, and He doesn't like it! His
Word tells us that He will not give His Glory to another, as
we see by these verses:

"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not
give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
Isaiah 42:8, KJV

"For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it:
for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my
glory unto another."
Isaiah 48:11, KJV

As we saw a moment ago, this is exactly what the Antichrist,
or "Son of Perdition", (also referred to as the Man of Sin),
will do as well. That liar and deceiver will claim that he
is God. He is going to take credit which does not rightfully
belong to him. Isn't this precisely what Satan has wanted to
do for thousands of years? Let's not forget the words of the
Prophet Isaiah. As I explain in the article "Satan: Origin,
Purpose And Future", while prophesying of the fall of the
king of Babylon, the Prophet seems to have suddenly switched
gears, and wrote the following:

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet
thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit."
Isaiah 14:12-15, KJV

What is also alarming about this "alien expedition" belief,
is that some people within the UFO cult embrace these ideas
with as much religious fervor as we Christians embrace the
Biblical account of Creation. To make matters worse, they
don't view their beliefs as a religion, but rather as sound
science. I am reminded of another verse written by Paul, to
Timothy, where he warns Timothy to beware of false science.
The verse states:

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,
avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called:"
1 Timothy 6:20, KJV

In the previous verse, the word "science" is derived from the
Greek word "gnosis", which literally means "knowledge"; so in
reality, what Paul is telling Timothy, is that he must guard
his flock against those who argue against the faith by using
false knowledge. In writing these words, Paul was referring
to those people who claimed to possess an understanding of
spiritual matters, but who were in fact, only leading God's
sheep astray from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As I mention in some of my other articles, a primary example
of this were the Law-bound Orthodox Jews, who insisted that
certain aspects of the Mosaic Law, like circumcision, still
had to be observed, in order for one to obtain Salvation. In
other words, according to these false brethren and deceivers,
professing faith in the Sacrifice of Christ was not enough.
According to these snakes, Jesus didn't really pay the full
price for our sins. They attempted to convince new converts
to the Christian faith that they still had to supplement our
Lord's Sacrifice with the "good deeds" of the Law, so as to
merit Salvation. These subtle wolves were a constant source
of concern to Paul. Thus, in some of his Epistles, as well
as in the Book of Acts, we find such verses as these:

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."
Acts 20:29, KJV

"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to
be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
wise."
1 Corinthians 3:18, KJV

"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know."
1 Corinthians 8:2, KJV

"As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed."
Galatians 1:9, KJV

If there's one thing of which I'm certain, it's that some New
Agers and UFO believers, clearly preach another gospel; that
is, an alien gospel, which outright contradicts the Bible. In
the words of the Apostle Paul, such people should be cursed,
and their doctrines of devils completely ignored, because it
is false science, and false knowledge which poisons the soul.

As I first mentioned in part five, not only do these people
embrace the belief of an alien science expedition visiting
the Earth many millennia ago in order to plant human life on
our planet, but they also blindly accept the aliens' claim of
having created Jesus Christ, and raising Him from the dead on
the third day, by means of their technology. As I also stated
earlier, according to these doctrines of devils, the Lord is
stripped of His Divine Nature, and is assigned the position
of "Ascended Master", or "Avatar", along with Moses, Buddha,
Confucius, Muhammad, and similar philosophers and spiritual
leaders who have lived down through the ages. Together, they
supposedly form an elite body of individuals known as the
"Great White Brotherhood", also referred to as the "Angelic
Hierarchy".

If the Apostle Peter were alive today, surely he would regard
such ungodly beliefs as part of the "damnable heresies" that
he wrote about in the following verse:

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
2 Peter 2:1, KJV

Given these terrible lies that are being promoted by some
New Age advocates, is it really any wonder that some people
become so confused once they fall into their clutches? As I
briefly mentioned in part five, New Age doctrine appears to
be a strange mixture of the "Space Brothers" concept, (that
being that the good aliens are here to assist humanity and
are our brothers), along with a few beliefs taken from the
Christian faith, as well as from some Eastern religions. As
I noted earlier, the whole intent here seems to be to try to
please everyone, and to draw everyone into their subtle web
of deception, by promoting an atmosphere of open-mindedness.

In a subtle way, it appears as if the promoters of New Age
thought are suggesting that their belief system, as weird as
it is, is better than all of the rest of the world's belief
systems, because it attempts to assimilate all of them, and
harmonize their conflicting views.
