Infinite Diversity Infinite Combinations

For the past 2 or 3 weeks, the Christian Internet/Social Media has been abuzz with chatter about the Gubbmit revealing that space aliens exist & are demons. First of all, this all comes across as yet another conspiracy theory working its way through some quarters of American Evangelicalism.     Second, why would space aliens be demons.      Maybe some are & some aren’t.    So what if some of them are.     Demons are still beings who left their positions of power & authority (Jude).   Most importantly why is a challenge for our faith as Christians?     According to the Bible, the purpose of the created order is to testify to God’s existence, attributes, & authority (Romans 1:18 - 32).    God is not tribal, territorial spirit.     God is universal.     He created everyone & everything every-when-&-where.      That means that if extr...

Parody

In the Book of Revelation, the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse aren’t merely ciphers for literal conquest, war, famine & death, they are the metaphysical personification of those concepts & represent beings, forces, & institutions which are all deeply invested in who & what exercises control, authority, & presence with respect to Monarchial Dominion in, through, over, & around the very fabric of reality itself.  


Conquest presents itself/manifests itself as that which glories in the rise & fall of moral empire &  imperial structures (Principles of Faith & Practice).  Its Aesthetic (defining characteristic) is the rise & fall of moral &/or literal empire/government.    It expresses itself in Black Magick/Sorcery via the the principle of parasitism insofar as it grafts, bonds, joins, unites, &/or merges or seeks to merge or attach itself to one or more targets in order to refine & conquer them. (Daniel 7)


War presents itself/manifests itself as that which glories in  conflict/conflict resolution that more often than not theologically, philosophically, ethically &/or philosophically destroys either to pave the way for the new imperial order &/or to glory in destruction for its own sake.   War seeks to strategically deconstruct/destroy the correspondence/relationships relative to the simultaneous moral unity & unanimity of the created order & ultimately the Moral Imago Dei itself.    In its literal mode, it centers on struggle for power between 2 or more individuals, ecclesiastical institutions, &/or governments. (Hosea 4:6)


Its aesthetic (defining characteristic) centers on destruction.  It expresses itself in Black Majick/Sorcery via the principle of contagion, insofar as it seeks to erode &/or destroy the correspondence between truth & falsity, righteousness & sin/iniquity, reality & unreality in general,  & that which is & that which ought to be in particular.


Famine presents/manifests itself as that which glories in moral & material gluttony and material & moral poverty resulting in moral sickness/infirmity.  Its aesthetic (defining characteristic) is pestilence.      The Bible describes apostasy as the road to destruction plagued with a lack of morally righteous theological, philosophical, & moral/ethical knowledge.   (Hosea 9:6)


Deathlike Apostasy, encompasses all of these evils & centers on works righteousness.  Its aesthetic, works righteousness, kills.  Works righteousness is sorcery’s answer to  the Gospel of Grace & Faith.   In sorcery/Satanic witchcraft the Enemy seeks to parody what it perceives as a or even 

the source of righteousness & redemption via its reward system.  (Romans 9:30 - 33)
