Excuse me .. how about ... “rightly dividing the Word of God”.

If you don’t know the writer of the Bible, you will not be able to interpret what HE said.

That’s why we have all sorts of goofy translations and interpretations.

I say this seriously, without derision or disrespect of any kind. Please heed it:

If you believe that UFO phenomena are part of God’s plan for His people (and that seems to be what you’re implying by including Jesus’ army in the end times as a UFO account), you are way, way off in the rough away from reasonable theology and will be easily led astray when the time comes to choose sides.

I’d like to hear what role, if any, you guys think UFOs have in God’s plan for humanity, and if there is one, what accounts of abductions and alien craft following airplanes around has to do with that plan.

Real horses don’t fly! If real horses don’t fly then what does The King Of Kings return to earth on? Just wondering. I love horses, so I would really like to see Him on a beautiful Arabian (little irony there).

Uh, right. I don’t think so.

UFO’s and/or “alien” beings have long been suspected by biblical scholars to be possibly real. A real work of the Devil, that is.

God says in the end days the devil will come up with all sorts of “signs and wonders” to fool people into believing he is all powerful. To turn them from God, or to disract them.

While I think there are many people out there who cry “UFO” just for attention, I don’t doubt that many have actually seen odd things.

They are not from God, though.

It talks about creatures called Nephilim in the Bible, Genesis chapter 6:

“The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.”

I’m not sure about any of this one way or another. I think if God wants a horse to fly, it will. I find it puzzling that you did not mention the most obvious comparison in your post. That would be New Jerusalem. Whenever I have read that, the different levels always paint a certain picture in my mind.

Certainly you must of heard of the 1968 best seller Chariots of the Gods, and its 1970 movie? This theory of a UFO in the Bible has been around for 41 years and the evidence is not any more convincing now than it was then.

When you read the passage and UNDERSTAND what it is saying you will KNOW there is NO REFERENCE to UFO’s in ANY part of the Bible - New or Old Testament. Sigh. Please stop using ignornace as an advertisement for UFO’s which you may want to believe in more than what the Bible is really talking about.

Ezekiel 1:1 describes them as “visions” of God. Which leads me to infer that they are “visions”— dreams, not UFO’s.

Thanks.

A worthy topic.

Could have been in the Religion Forum. Moderation is typically better there.

Were parts of the Bible written by Artimus Bellus?

Talk about truly bizarre interpretations of the Bible. I guess interpreting the bible is only acceptable when trying to support a totally ridiculous view.

Now I’m too tired to go over the OP. Maybe tomorrow

Sorry.

I would like to note, however, I don’t think we can assert that “REAL HORSES DON’T FLY.”

God’s horses can likely do whatever HE instructs them to do.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Ephesians 3:8)
