As a Raelian, I have a tough time comprehending what all these ghosts are. Maybe ben d can help.

I did so, and I couldn't find anything that pertains to your statement, "The devil has no space craft however; the devil resides in hell to torture."Oh, Katzpur, I see you are Mormon! Just go to scriptures.lds.org and type in "devil hell" as your search terms and you'll see what I mean.

Your understanding of the Mormon concept of who the devil is and what hell is is clearly lacking. But since this is the Alien-based religion DIR, I'll just leave you to discuss Alien-based religions with somebody else. Your comments about Mormon doctrine are irrelevant here anyway.Note that if the devil doesn't leave hell, he has no reason to have a space craft.
2 Nephi 2:29 - It is quite clear that hell is the devil's kingdom.
D&C 88:113-if the devil's armies are the host of hell, he leads them in hell. The battle with Michael is the battle for souls from earth. Satan is the one with boots on the ground though.
Alma 54:12, 2 Nephi 9:19, 2 Nephi 28:23 - the devil goes along with hell.
Alma 48:17 - the power of the devil is the power of hell.
2 Nephi 28:22 - "grasps them with awful chains, of whence there is no deliverance" - sounds like they're doomed to hell.
Alma 30:60 - the devil drags people down to hell. This is not literal; he gets them to belong themselves in hell. Alma 12:11 supports this.
2 Nephi 9:26 - That awful monster is both hell and the devil; hence they belong together.
2 Nephi 26:10 - If you yield to the devil you go to hell.
Satan is the one fighting on earth, but he is fighting for them to belong to the devil.
As for torture, I think it's quite clear that there is torture in hell.
Well, you're looking for something you're not going to find.I don't believe in the supernatural. I want an explanation of all scriptures in a scientific way. Aliens are scientific to me.
I'm not even sure what you're saying, so I definitely can't say whether you're right or wrong.Just because you can't see what I'm saying doesn't mean it's not true.
Thank you. I appreciate that.I will not insult you; have a nice time.
If this thread were not in a DIR forum, I would be happy to. Any discussion of Mormon theology does not belong in another religion's DIR.If you don't want further discussion that is OK too.
I'm sure they are. That doesn't mean you understand them the way a Mormon would.These verse interpretations are very clear to me.
Actually, I never accused you of being "spacey" about Mormonism. I simply said you are not as informed on the subject as you believe you are.I would like to point out that my views have been "challenged" three times on this thread, by "NewGuyOnTheBlock," "TDz86", and "katzpur." I was accused of being unscientific, insane, and now spacey about Mormonism. Despite these character assassination attempts, these three haven't pointed out anything that was an actual challenge to my message.
If you want me to debate Mormon theology, you'll have to either start a new thread or ask that this one be moved to a debate forum. You're kind of a newbie here, so it's possible you don't understand the rules governing the DIR forums. As a Mormon, I am not permitted to debate with you on this particular forum."Katzpur," with all your posts you are obviously quite the expert on Mormonism. However, you might be surprised at how much I have learned about it. How about pick one of those verses and we'll see what it means?
Sounds good to me. Just a heads up, though... I'm not going to be able to be online much more today until late this evening, so if you don't get any replies from me, please don't assume I'm ignoring the thread.how about "The devil has no space craft however; the devil resides in hell to torture." in science and religion under religious debates?
[/QUOTE]Incidentally once while camping alone at night in a remote field i had a weird dream in which I was out of the tent and following an alien monk-like figure towards a clump of trees, and there seemed to be some sort of craft in the tress. There the dream ended.
I woke up fine next morning as usual and noticed a bruise on my shin, it wasn't painful to the touch and I had no idea how I'd got it.
Maybe I was abducted in the night and they drilled into my shinbone to extract DNA. Or maybe it wasn't a bruise but a pain-killing antiseptic stain?
It faded out over the next week or so.
I later wrote an article about the incident for internet UFO forums-

THE SPALDING INCIDENT (Lincolnshire, England, 1998)
I camped for the night just behind this hut on the right (this is a more recent pic but nothing has changed over the years)-
Below-This is the grove of trees that contained the 'craft' in my 'dream'-
The incident never left me traumatised or stressed in any way, and no 'flashbacks' or whatever.
Blue dots mark the campsite on both maps-
General view below shows the campsite (yellow dot) just behind the hut, and the grove (circled in yellow) to which i followed the 'monk' towards a craft in the trees in my 'dream'-
