I think you might be underestimating the depth and breadth of the Creation. There is no logical reason, nor is there a Biblical reason, to imagine that people on Earth are the only ones God made. That is a big neighborhood out there to have just one family and one house.
Demons is the most ridiculous description of them. Why do you think the scope of God's Creation is limited to us? Why can't He think bigger than that? Oh! It appears He did but you can't.
No, it is for THEIR protection. Just read these threads. How many immediately jump to fear, demons, and a "bag limit"?
I am not underestimating the depth of Creation. I do believe that there could be billions of planets with humanoid life and I look forward to meeting them in eternity
However, for our protection against deception they are not permitted to visit us. If that is the case, which I believe to be so, whatever aliens we do meet will be a deception.
You have to remember, the deception that will come upon the human race will be so clever that only the very elect will understand that it is a deception.
As I said earlier, I do believe that Star Trek may have given a glimpse into the kinds of things we will be involved in.
How is God supposed to end the sun issue, if we are going galactic?
It is a deception. I don’t say that lightly.
How is God supposed to end the sin issue, if we are going galactic?
It is a deception. I don’t say that lightly.
Now, why would that be? What is the basis for such a cynical outlook?
Now you presume God is too stupid to deal with His own Creation.
Because there has to be a worldwide deception before the Christ.
Aliens is a perfect deception.
To be clear, I do believe that we will be permitted to meet all the life in the Universe, just not yet.
Apparently He is, because according to you we will be allowed to spread ourselves throughout the galaxy before He does end it.
How is that a problem?
Take another look at world leaders!!! They have obviously been fully deceived by something; and, the population at large goes along with it. The deception is already happening in absence of ETs.
Because when God sends man and angel into the Hellfire, it will only be this planet burning and being made renewed.
You’re right on that. They’ve been deceived.
Most people are familiar with the idea of fallen angels. Most people are familiar with that it will be Satan masking as our Saviour in the last, just before the coming of the Christ.
I can’t Satan necessarily fooling a lot of people by claiming to be the Christ, because we are aware of it.
However, if he pretends to be a President of the federation of planets, that could work on a lot of people. Including you, apparently.
Your friend Quix was an amazing Christian! I’ve been working my way through his/her posts and I am loving the sound Biblical references and reasoning he/she employed.
On the UFO topics I see Quix saw them as hostile spiritual entities from another dimension (Demons).
That might be the case.
Agreed. :)
I think that would be easy to discriminate.
You don't know that. The Bible did not broach the topic of life outside of earth one way or the other. Perhaps you are prideful and therefore unable to cope with the notion of a larger Creation. You are dictating the terms of God's Creation to me when you really don't have any of those answers.
You merely want to be the most important thing in Creation. It offends you to think that God made millions of inhabited planets because YOU are so special.
More than likely that’s the only logical conclusion from a Christian perspective.
Why would they deceive if they weren’t?
Why do they paralyze and abuse their captives if they’re not?
Why do they all flee at the name of Jesus if they’re ‘benevolent’?
