Could the Devil be from another planet?

This is a silly question maybe, and I know there is no scriptural basis for it. However, I recently saw John Carpenter's movie "Prince of Darkness", and it explains that Satan basically was an ancient evil being from another galaxy who came and tried to take over the earth. Anyways I thought it was kind of an interesting idea. Reminded me a bit also of the movie "Stargate".

I don't find it verbatum in the Book of Mormon, but was told that by an elder at one of our local Mormon Temples.

Here's a bit more about it with citations:

Fallen angels. Wasn't Satan a Fallen Angel? So...like...where did he and his cronies fall from? Musta been from out of the sky. So here we are, a bunch of dumb humans some 20, 30, 40 or so thousand years ago and here come these super dudes falling from the sky. Genesis says thay had sex with earth woman and had some really narley offspring. Big dudes of renown. Big doesn't have to mean giants. Big hearts? Big brains? Anyway, they taught us how to do some pretty cool things. Like blow stuff up and kill lots of other humans. Their offspring are still here by the way. Some of them are working in Washington DC as we speak! They say that G.W. is one but that just makes me laugh! I think he is an honorary little devil! Most of them are the kings bloodline that rule most nations. The thing is, they can't leave this planet since this is where they were banished to. They have decided that soon they will stop the charade and come out for all the world to see. When that happens, life as we know it will suddenly end! Enoch told all about them but they (the church fathers) suppresed it. More about the real truth of this planet has been supressed than has not. That is why everyone keeps asking these same questions!

Bible human history goes back only about 6000 years. The term "fall" is not a literal fall. It is a distancing or falling away from God's favor. The term nephilim doesn't mean giant or big. To say that the nephilim survived God's judgement is to say that God failed.

That's what the Bible which you claim to have unswerving faith in says.

Jesus himself spoke about the Noachian flood as an historical event:

Luke 17:27
People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. NIV

The book of Jude speaks about the rebel angels and how they have been restrained since that time.

Jude 1
6And (U)angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has (V)kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,
NIV

I recall hearing a theory that the hollywood standard "gray alien" is thought to really be a demon - out to corrupt humanity. Extrapolating that, it seems almost logical that the devil could be from another planet!

Satan plays with us in many different ways. If the people of earth thought that they were being invaded by "real space aliens" then would'nt they question the bible and GOD's word? In Genesis, it say's that the fallen angels had sex with earth women and their offspring would not be allowed to enter heaven after dying. GOD told them that they would be evil spirits that roamed the earth. That is who the "aliens" are that people claim to have these encounters with. It's all designed to blow your mind and question GOD. Don't buy into it. We are much more powerful than they. They were jelious of us from the beginning. They don't have much to look foward to but we can create our own destiny with one, hard held, positive thought. There is only one truth in the entire universe and that one truth will prevail in the end.

phillysteakandcheese agrees: Very compelling!
orange agrees: That's an interesting point!

I'm familiar with that concept and it certainly is possible that UFOs and alien sightings are just another effort on the part of Satan and his cohorts to distract mankind from paying attention to the things that really matter in our lives. One thing to keep in mind for our own safety is that although such demons are not permitted to materialize any longer as they did during Noah's day, one way that they still are able to approach humans is via spirit mediums, through which they impersonate deceased loved ones.

BTW
That's why the Mosaic Law prohibits the consultation with spirit mediums. Because it opens a gateway to communication with rebel angels. Israelite King Saul was one who disobeyed this commandment and paid the price.

The point I am very unclear on is the time frames in which Satan and all of his cohorts are susposed to stay locked down. Some folks believe that the only place they were banished to was here on the earth. Just like Adam and Eve were cast out of paradise onto the earth, so were Satan and the others...to the lower physical plane. A lot of people these days are experiancing something other worldly. If Satan and his buddies are locked away somewhere, then what are people actually seeing?
