Question:
Does invoking the name of JESUS CHRIST to stop an Abduction experience work for everyone that uses it?
Answer:
No it does not. It is not a magic word. For those who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as their LORD and Master and have made a personal relationship with him it does work.
Well, that's reassuring for some. The Alien Resistance web site is fascinating: I try not to link to some kinds of things, but Google will find it for you quickly enough.
Beck observes that this is but an example of how a community/culture makes truth for themselves. We all know of examples: some are more extreme than others.
What bothers me, of course, is that it's hard to see this kind of stuff from the inside. We inhabit such communities of belief in all kinds of spheres: but most particularly in our church contexts. How do you know when you are creating a reality for yourself which diverges from the normality experienced by the rest of humanity? Or, come to that, loses touch with the evidence available. It may not matter. But Christians tend to the point of view that they have a better grasp of truth - God's truth - than most. And if it ain't necessarily so, well, we have a problem.
