Alien abductions – they're not what you think

I well remember the pioneering research that my late friend, apologetics teacher David Lewis, used to present to eager audiences. David had many interests, but specialized in Israel.
When he told me once that he was preparing for a UFO conference, I was intrigued to say the least. The sight of this regal gentleman sitting with the tinfoil hats was comical and fascinating at the same time.
When David revealed to me that he had discovered a key to understanding the so-called "alien abductions," I leaned in.
"Jim," he said, "Christians who call on the name of the Lord are protected in these situations."
Now, you can dismiss him (or us) as fundamentalist goofs, but I have since discussed the subject with quite a few researchers, and they reinforce David's contention. An amazing new book adds further insight.
Authors/researchers David Ruffino and Joseph Jordan have crafted an incredibly absorbing book, "Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, Where It Originates and How It Stops." Kudos to this duo for having the courage to take on such a topic. Those who think it fringe are not the audience, anyway.
Before we get into the meat of the book, note that there is a riveting section, in which personal testimonies add rich layers to the investigation. You'll read this section in one sitting!
The subject of UFO encounters and abductions has permeated the culture: Everyone from secularists to the religious have embraced the subject. Ruffino and Jordan take an approach that sets them apart.
Both Jordan and Ruffino, in their early years, dabbled in New Age and various other philosophies before becoming Christians. They feel that the knowledge gained has aided their UFO research, from the opposite spectrum. Their conviction that UFO encounters have a decidedly sinister aspect is not totally unique, but, combined with the biblical approach taken, the whole phenomenon is presented in a compelling light.
The linchpin of "Unholy Communion" is the assertion that victims of these attacks from entities we don't fully understand can end them by invoking the name of Jesus Christ. This adds credence to the notion that the entities are in fact demonic and not the product of higher intelligence elsewhere in the universe.
The authors are not afraid to take on the "sacred cows" of ufology:
"It is our contention that in excess of 60 years, those in defense of the 'aliens,' who have championed their cause and who have been in the spotlight for those decades have had more than adequate time to present their case," the authors write. "The thing is that their clients, those same entities that claim to be extraterrestrial, have never made an attempt to come to court to speak for themselves."
Obviously, one has only to watch History Channel specials on UFOs to realize there is quite a cottage industry related to the "aliens." The major spokespersons do in fact have a stake in advancing the argument that these entities are from far-off planets. Even our government, with its bankrolling of odd projects like SETI, is advancing the idea that beings from beyond our "community" are attempting to contact us.
If Ruffino and Jordan are correct, this is a fatal error judgment.
"Unholy Communion" also makes the marvelous point that ancient Greek and Roman mythologies parallel quite well with the accounts of Noah and the "Nephilim" of his day. These beings, still shrouded somewhat in mystery, could very well have given rise to the myths of ancient civilizations. The question is, are they preparing to make a return into the realm inhabited by human beings?
Ruffino and Jordan make another compelling point: Those who are deceived about the true identity of the "aliens" are not confined to the secular or even atheistic philosophers (such as Carl Sagan) – they are populating the church, as well.
"The sad part is that even in the Christian church there is a growing delusion that holds to the same belief where UFOs and intelligent life in the universe is concerned," the authors contend. "The lie has gone out for many years and many now believe it."
This gullibility within the church is one of the chief reasons "Unholy Communion" was written, in an attempt to bring discernment at least to Christian believers.
Finally, the authors present very clearly the "antidote" to this blatant deception, and present a very clear gospel message.
In this age of mystery and uncertainty, "Unholy Communion" is perhaps one of the best exposures of evil on the market.
