Beings from beyond... Does it have to shake our theology?

[Jipsah]

Yes.

Amy "theology" that can't doesn't amount to much.

No argument there.

Just a thought about the current disclosures being made by folks from the military about phenomena in the skies thought to be the activity of some advanced technology beyond normal human capabilities.

You can read about it on this thread... Whistleblower Testifies Under Oath to Congress that the Government has recovered "non-human biologics" from UFOs

Should these claims stack up and we are faced with there being life beyond the earth - will your theology cope with that ?

My thought is that such activity if real, is demonic in origin for these reasons.

First we know that angels can assume human form - otherwise we couldn't entertain them unawares as Scripture says.

It follows then that fallen angels are equally capable of appearing in physical forms and may present with very high intelligence and forms that are non humanoid.

Second the narrative in Revelation speaks about the deception to come involving signs and wonders on earth and in the sky.

Thirdly the temptation in the garden was all about knowledge and being presented with superior knowledge from such beings will again be Satans trump card to draw humanity away from Godliness.

Hey - these are my musings and it seems very soon this matter will be in our face to deal with if what we are hearing is to be believed.

Extra-terrestrials would not shake my theology it would complicate it. I wouldn't know if they were friend or foe, Whether the served other God's

Would that make ETs different than anyone else?

ETs is not a definition. ETs is like a negative hypothesis; if one showed up it would bring with it its definition or reality.

ET means “ extra terrestrial “, IE not from earth. And reality is what it is, regardless of where anyone comes from.

In the context of the discussion ET refers to intelligent life forms, that are not known to exist.
