The Bible’s explainer on UFOs
foxnews.com ^ | Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, U.S. Army (ret.)

Posted on 08/06/2023 3:12:24 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Washington is getting serious about reports of [UFO's], what the Pentagon now labels as unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs. There is a long history of such sightings and the increase in such observations could be a sign of things to come.

[...]

Following that hearing a group of lawmakers asked the House speaker to form a committee to investigate government programs involving UAPs. Specifically, they requested "subpoena authority" to collect information [...] What are we to make of this news? Well, there are many reports of strange objects in the sky dating from ancient times.

Historian Josephus wrote of a mysterious spectacle that occurred over Israel in A.D. 70. "Chariots and troops of soldiers in their armour were seen running about among the clouds," wrote Josephus. There were numerous such events around the entire country as "armed battalions hurtling through the clouds" and with "great noise" causing "quakes." There are many other recorded events of unexplained UAPS over the past millennia.

More recently in America after World War II, the number of UFO sightings spiked, and as a result our government formed a number of task forces to investigate. Perhaps the best-known incident occurred in 1947 when Roswell Army Air Field personnel recovered debris from a "flying disc." However, in 1994 a U.S. Air Force report concluded the debris was from a top-secret nuclear test surveillance balloon.

UFOs/UAPs have long fascinated humanity. Unfortunately, we don’t understand such events.

I don’t dismiss the possibility we are being visited by aliens. Further, I’m quite aware there are things my five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing) can’t understand, and they may be real like radio waves. For example, I believe there is a very real spiritual domain beyond our senses. You can call them aliens, angels, demons or other.

This is typical strategy...Rename things, change the terms...If you don't like it, change the name! Even illegal aliens get it. I mean, undocumented workers...

“we don’t understand such events.”

The narrative—again.

They are hiding the ball.

Anyone who “does not understand” has either not been briefed or is intentionally lying.

Best to keep this UFO kerfuffle far away from the Bible.

Far away.

Just like "Shell Shock" became "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder".

Since the subject is the Bible, I thought the following would be appropriate (1 John 4:1-3):
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1Jo 4:2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

1Jo 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

The above is for testing spiritual beings encountered as well as false prophets.

Robert Maginnis is not a liar. He is retired and out of the Pentagon loop as well as other loops.

For Bible believers, everything in life--EVERYTHING--is reconciled to the Bible.

There is so much information available these days that I get a bit irritated with the “don’t know what they are” crowd.

If they don’t believe the secret space program folks then they can at least get up to speed on Jacques Vallee and/or Richard Dolan.

If they are waiting for official government explanations they better get ready for a limited hang out—at best.

The reason I ask is because often it's more the religious folk who post to events or articles involving this subject. Which is fine. But it kinda jumps out. You know even the Pope has a scope in Arizona.

The Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT Arizona)

Not everyone is up to speed on UFO's. In fact, most of the country and the world isn't up to speed.

Since the hearings last week, a lot of people are just now being introduced to subject. A lot of people are in for quite a shock.

Col. Maginnis is a regular advisor to American Family Radio (which is a Christian radio system across the country). If he shares the opinion in the article above with his radio listeners, he will dispel a lot of the ignorant comments floating around.

Yep. As much as I don't like Pope Frankie, the Vatican is way ahead of the rest of humanity when it comes to UFO's.

It's called the news. People still like to also stay abreast of news that isn't in the headlines.

Do you want to prevent such stories from being discussed? Isn't it a 1st Amendment Right to discuss such stories (at least for the time being).

BTW, if you are so obsessed with the big headlines news, why are you here on a "General/Chat" thread?

You must REALLY be pissed off about the Gardening threads.
