... and the only time the word “planet” is used is the same word for “constellation” which comes from “flowing water” i.e. the Firmament.
Yes, he did. He loved Christ.
When the Christian music industry was born, he was disgusted with the commercialism. He spent his career touring - largely internationally - and making his music available almost free, directly from him.
I was on his mail list during the end of his life. To the end, he loved Christ and honored him.
I hope to meet him in heaven.
“No physical evidence whatsoever that Earth has ever been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations. If they are out there, we’ll never get to them, nor will they ever get to us.”
Depends on what you mean by physical evidence. There might or might not be alien bodies or vehicles. But there are tons of evidence ... observational evidence similar to astronomical observational evidence, confirming that we are not “alone”.
Not sure if it was a synthesizer, zither or elec guitar on Spirit in the Sky but... what a riff...!
Heard he was a good guy, glad you knew him.
>And maybe you’ve gone to a pastor or church leader with this very question...
>Just yesterday :)
Yes Brother. But it was about 45 years ago. My Pastor said I was not on the wrong track, just a track that was only known to the follower.
I said, God Bless.
Physical evidence. As in “physics”.
Astronomical observation is based as well on physics, and there’s nothing there but for some ambiguous spectral noise.
Anecdotal “evidence” is not authenticatable.
Yes! And it goes back before I was born. My Father graduated from Case at the very top of his class. He enlisated the day after his graduation. He had his travel papers and uniform when three guys in suits came to his parent’s door and told him; “Ted, we need you in Washington, not shooting a rifle in Europe.” So he went to work for the NACA , now NASA. in DC. He worked with all the names you know. After the war, his cousins told him, “Teddy, all these guys are coming back. They’ll need homes. Come back and do real estate with us.” He did. I was born in Oct. ‘46, and 6 months later flew back to Cleveland. He built a small house on Buskirk Blvd. in Independence Ohio. My back yard was Trickers Aquarium Supply.

At night it was acres of pitch black. We were also two blocks away from a Nike site that remained secret until a few years ago.
One night my Mom put me in bed. The next thing I remember was walking into a ship. All the walls were curved upward, and looked like brushed nickle or stainless. Very bright, and a loud electric buzzing sound. Never saw anyone, but knew they were behind me. Walked down a corridor and was directed left into a room. Though the arched door was wide open, and the corridor brightly lit, this room was like a black velvet Elvis painting! No light at all. I sat down, and shapes started floating in the air. I remember two of them. One was sort of chalky dayglow yellow connected spheres, the other was similar, but blue connected triangles. Some sort of test? I got scared, and was taken back to my bedroom. I got up and walked into my parent’s bedroom and with the loud buzz still in my ears, pulled the chain on their bedlight. It blew up! Not just out, but it exploded. There was glass everywhere, and the buzzing stiopped. Mom put me back to bed, and it was never spoken of again.
In 1974, I was working at a small electronics company, but was also teaching guitar and banjo at Menomonee Falls music in the evenings and Saturdays. I lived on the lake in downtown Milwaukee. I had found this wonderful farm road that was a blast to race down in my hot-rodded Manta. One night I had to stop. Looked like an accident, but it was like trying to look at a Tig Welder. Incredibly bright. I pulled over to the side, expecting a cop to come uop and tell me to turn around. I stuck my head out my driver’s window. The next thing I know, I’m standing outside the car, with my arms on the roof,top and something flashes overhead and disappears in the wink of an eye ove r lake michigan. I drove home, and found that 2 hours had passed. I called Mitchell Field the next morning, but they said they had nothing on radar. Took a shower and found a perfectly healed, but never seen before, 3/8ths inch, perfectly round scar on the inside of my left knee. It’s still there!
I have enough troubles dealing with the beings on this planet!
>I have enough troubles dealing with the beings on this planet!
Amen. It took a few dozen years but I have found that helping those that help themselves in honesty get my support and logic.
“In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth”. Does that cover it?
In my twisted mind, I believe that’s why it’s taking so long for Jesus to come back - He has to go and be Jesus on all of the alien worlds as well. Rough way to live, though.
And it’s gotten EASIER through the years to see WHO really wants to help themselves and who just wants pity.
At least that’s been my experience as I’ve gotten older.
Yes Sir. And the frequency has much to do with resonance of the mind ....

You forgot to tell me to drop acid before I watched that :)
I didn’t picture you sending something like that. Cool.
I was expecting a Bible reading or something, which would have been great too.
The bible is full of mention about life forms beyond our planet.
In Exodus there is this: “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of man. Its mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
>> have an adverse effect on my faith as a Christian
Born, raised, and today non-ceremonial Catholic. My earliest recollection of professed Scripture was that of appreciation for the Old Testament and perfect Faith in the New Testament.
I have no problem with the concept of life beyond Earth should it exist. And my Faith in Christ wouldn’t be disturbed as the NT speaks to what I’ve always believed to be true.
Aliens are how demons get Atheist to worship them, since they do not worship a false god.
Lucifer is a Cherubim. Ezekiel 28:12-15
What is a Cherubim? Lets look to Ezekiel 1, starting at 5 to the end of the chapter. The description is lengthy and best to read it yourself, in full. But to summarize:
They have a human likeness. Straight legs, but hooves for feet that sparkle like bronze. They have 4 wings, 2 of which cover their body. Their hands are that of a human. They have four faces. They have the face of a lion, a man, an ox, and an eagle. They have the appearance of burning fire that shoots forth lightning.
They all showed up in..... something like a flying saucer entering the atmosphere. These wheels also ‘lifted up’ when the Cherubim left. (Ez. 1:4, 15-21)
There are also heavenly host, angels, archangels, Seraphim, Nephilim, Rephaim.... Check out the description of them and then see Pan, Ra, Molech, etc...
“What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (Corinthians 10:19-21)
I want to write down Your 3 bullet points...
Followed this phenomenon since
“Chariots of the gods”
