ALIENS and the BIBLE – Are We Alone?
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 8/23 | Ring them Bells

Posted on 08/07/2023 9:11:15 AM PDT by spirited irish

Our Government says they have answers. As Christians we now need to have a biblically based response. Are Aliens in the Bible? We have designed this video to help give language to this tough topic. This video is dedicated to the late Dr. Michael Heiser – @DRMSH He used his scholarly platform to form a UFO mission Field. Along with caring about sharing the good news with this normally avoided group, Heiser also brought scholarly credibility to the question of… ARE WE ALONE? Tim Mackie makes a couple appearances along with NT Wright

Whoever these aliens say they are, don’t believe them.

Interstellar travel takes a long time.
Inter-dimensional travel doesn’t.

There’s some others..

Luke 2:13-14
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”

Revelation 5:11
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,

“The entire book of Job. The first 3 chapters of Genesis. Jesus’ teachings...Paul’s writings....etc.”

What I mean is SPECIFICALLY. Of course, God created all that was created. But it specifically describes the creation of man, beasts, birds, fish, etc. (I’m using the term “creation” broadly as in Him “making” these things.)

There’s no specific description of Him making angels or other sentient beings other than humans, as far as I know. The Bible simply talks about their existence and does not explain when, where, or how they came into existence (other than the generic everything in six days that I brought up initially).

Humans nor Aliens could get through the Van Allen Belts. Demons can

The Van Allen belts are particular zones, they don't fill up all space around Earth. Manned missions can be steered to avoid and mitigate.

No singing is mentioned in those passages.

What is an alien?

If others have been sharing Earth and the solar system with us for thousands of years, are they “alien?”

It’s going to be a popular question before long, I predict.

The moon landings were faked because of the Van Allen Belt limitation. I was too great an obstacle in 1969. Whenever we get around 350 miles up or greater astronauts suffer irreversible radiation injuries

Not the same thing... necessarily. Could be though.

For the record, I do believe angels sing. And I think the passage in Job supports this.

Traditionally, the Christmas story has angels singing. And their praise and worship probably do involve singing.

But they can never sing Amazing Grace or redemptive songs.

There may be other bibles in other areas of the universe where he created life there or maybe life just evolved elsewhere.

Prove me wrong.

Maybe not? I was more intrigued by your initial post about that being the only verse. English is really a horrible language for Biblical context.

Isaiah 6:2-3 also mentions “calling” or “proclaiming”.

I would have to agree that they do sing. Probably a lot more often than we in our finite state can understand.

If God created us then there is no reason not to believe that he could have created humans on other planets in the vast universe.

And why would He find it necessary to tell us when the universe was his creation?

Dood, that argument has been debunked over and over.

I used to get into watching these “the moon landing was faked” arguments and moved on years ago. The earth is not flat, either.

Human beings have the capacity to not only believe a lot of crazy stuff, but love to get caught up in confirmation bias. But even funnier is the dunning kruger effect.

I just avoid topics that are controversial - but shouldn’t be.

"Why does everyone expect ETs to not have a monotheistic god and creation story. My guess is they will. Heck they may come here and convert or try to convert."

Or their Eve may have told the serpent in their Eden to get lost. Aliens may come here and wonder why humans seem so hell-bent on defying our creator.

I think I borrowed it from someone or from the library, but it is not in my library. I had "Crash go the Chariots" and gave it to someone else who I think passed it on which is fine with me.

And yet the multiple sources I found state that several Apollo missions did pass through them on the way to the moon.

See post 40. Nowhere does it say he did not create life elsewhere.
