There are many who believe that life here began out there . . .
Of course, Wiseman also thinks Christianity and evolution are compatible and considers herself "a scientist who happens to be a Christian." The problem is that she doesn't start with the Bible and Christian doctrine and go to her work as a scientist based on that, but tries to fit what she found out being a "scientist" into the Scriptures. That's like the conservatives who listen to state-run media with little discernment and try to incorporate their "facts" into their "conservatism." Eventually, these forms of conservatism and Christianity bare little resemblance to the real deal. While trying to help their cause, all they end up doing is making their beliefs more palatable for outside observers.
No matter what profession a Christian is, they are a Christian first. One should be a Christian scientist, a Christian doctor, a Christian auto mechanic, etc. We start with the Bible, which is infallible and inerrant, and then go to our work in other areas.
Why would Christianity unravel if there are ETs? doesnt compute.
or consider that life elsewhere may not have fallen as we did. CS Lewis wrote some very interesting Sci-fi on that subject
It seems like these demonic beings appear to non-Christians, unbaptized Christians or those who are in serious sin, one of which could be a good person but unbelief. I've read accounts where people scared them off by invoking the name of Jesus Christ.
Last night was totally weird on C2C, couldn't sleep so listened to this account of some dragon fly drones, a message being impressed in the mind of the witness, the witness once he had typed the message on his computer (downloaded), it was erased from his mind.
Then he was led to a book from the library he found on a table and checked it out, copyrighted in 1962, titled "Ancient Greek Gods and Lore Revisited" by Fredrico Ionnides. The man, was being interviewed by Linda Moulton Howe, was visited at work by two high govt types that demanded the book for "national security" reasons. His boss who knew a little of his adventures ordered him to turn it over, figured he had to because of the Patriot Act.
Linda made an appeal for a copy of that book. I can't find one and don't know if it exists.
The whole thing could be made up, but you can google or search YT and find the segments of last night's show. The man (Ted Connors) also mentioned having the tree bark analyzed that the drone was hiding behind when he first spotted it. Said it contained Paladium. That's a very rare earth metal.

There have been umpteen variations of this theme ever since that Betty and Barney Hill? case and others, phenomena seem more frequent now.
It really wouldn’t make any difference to me if there was. God is very creative. The Creator of the Universe created everything. I think the only people it would shake or bother are those that have limited God to there human understanding. Or put Him into a neat little box of God formulas. I use to be one of those people. But, after seeing some pretty stunning miracles in my life, it tends to change your view of who God really is, just how big He is and how very little we truly know about Him. He’s just to vast, to big to fully comprehend in our limited human understanding. Just look at what He said to Job chapter 38.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! I hope there is a planet of infinite chocolate too..... :-)
Ascended beings like Rabbi Joshua (aka Jesus) are beyond time and space.
Good points!!!!
Amen.
For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom 3:23).
The BIBLE. The TRUTH.
Christianity would unravel with ETs because they would be dying and could not receive the Gospel because they are unrelated to Jesus Christ. The reason why Christ can save us is because He is our kinsman redeemer, having been a descendant of Adam in His human nature. Also, Jesus did “once for all” on the cross, so that precludes Him from going to other planets to die for ETs. The whole thing would make the problem of evil unsolvable from a Christian perspective.
Yes, I have often times thought this is what he doing and why it has taken a good amount of time for the second coming to occur.
The question “are they here” is COMPLETELY different than “is it possible that they exist”.
Interactions with non human intelligences is outside my experience but the possibility is within my world view. God deliver us from evil.
The Bible is a subset of the Truth. The Bible itself references mysteries.
? Are you saying that the Word of God is wrong? With the exception of Jesus, who was God in the flesh, there has never been anyone who lived a sinless life to my knowledge. Please enlighten me.
