“were not really talking about some kind of whacko here”
Wasn’t he really into the Alien stuff?
Yeah, and a lot of people in the USA are into that. In fact, you’ve got NASA sending out plaques and other “announcements” that “we are here” for any aliens to pick it up - if they run across it. You’ve got others who want the government to fully release information on UFOs. You’ve got many scientists saying that it’s absolutely certain that there are alien civilizations in other parts of space and the universe.
SO ... that’s not such an unusual position.
However, what is different about Quix’s approach to possible encounters and sightings of UFOs and aliens - is that he takes it from a Biblical standpoint. And there are clear and overt statements in the Bible that there are “aliens” - who come and go with ease - here on earth. They are those beings that the Bible refers to a “angels” - of which there happen to be angels who are with God and those who oppose God. The Bible actually gives the “breakdown” and percentage of being who are with God and those who are against God.
It breaks down to 2/3 with God and 1/3 against God. That’s the specific breakdown given. SO ... from a Biblical standpoint - being that the ones who are against God are also deceptive and lying and attempt to hurt and destroy people - and according to what happened with Noah and the world-wide flood and according to Genesis 6 and the careful reading there - there are many Christians who take the position that there are not really legitimate alien civilizations out there in space - but they are really manifestations of the angels who are against God (that 1/3 mentioned above) - and they are lying and deceitful and trying to pretend to be some kind of real alien visitors from outer space.
That’s a position of many Christians who have looked into this issue and tried to find out how the Bible addresses it - from the information we have in the Bible.
And like I said, we ALREADY KNOW that there are other beings out there that come and go easily - here on earth - as we’re told that very clearly. In fact, the Bible even says that one can easily “entertain a guest” in your own house - that you may not be aware is one of those beings. This is directly and clearly stated to Christians.
Anyway ... I hope you get the idea here - from a Biblical and Christian standpoint.
