An Alabama pastor who went viral for revealing that a prominent Republican congressman warned him and other pastors that alien disclosure is imminent, and that these aliens would insist there is no God and that they created humanity, has apologized, saying he conflated the politician’s views with his own.
Larry Ragland is the senior pastor of Solid Rock Church in Birmingham, Alabama, as well as a YouTuber and Director of Larry Ragland Ministries, which seeks to teach and interpret prophecy.
Days ago, he revealed that “a very well-known congressman from Missouri (aka Eric Burlison, who sits on the House committee tasked with investigating alien and UFO phenomena ) shared some information that would shake the foundations of Christianity.
On speakerphone, this sitting, powerful member of Congress, said ‘are the pastors listening to me? Go and tell the church they are not ready for what is coming….they are preparing to tell us that they are from another dimension, that they are our creator, and that these beings, these aliens, whatever you want to call them, they were the ones that seeded us here, there is no such thing as God, Jesus was invented by them, the Bible was invented by them,”
Pastors across the United States are now stepping forward and revealing they were briefed in a secret meeting with government officials about how to reveal the existence of aliens to their congregation.

The response prompted Burlison to respond and dissavow Raglan’s narrative and telling of events:

Following the rebuke, Ragland released a video apologizing for conflating Burlison’s measured warning with his own opinion.
He did call in, ah but he called in to encourage us and to thank us pastors for the work that we’re doing and that we are speaking the truth to our people and pointing them to Jesus and not get distracted ah of things in the world. In that moment, I begin to state things that I have always said that is my opinion and my opinion is, and that’s exactly all it is…
I should have stopped and paused and said, and this part is my opinion. In the heat of that, I didn’t. I led with saying that they had called the pastors and I went straight into my opinion. So I wanna make it very clear that Eric Berluson did not say those words, those were my words. And I want to own it and I want to apologize directly to Congressman Eric Berluson for any problems that this has caused you, any confusion.
Burlison later added:
