UFO's - Biblical?

[eleos1954]

The bible doesn't teach that there are UFO's (material flying objects). It also does not teach demons can manifest themselves as material objects.

Some people say ... and even some in government and/or the military say they have seen them and/or actually have physical evidence of such.

As a Christian ...

What do you believe about the existence of UFO's and why?

If you believe UFO's (material spaceships) is true .... how do you reconcile that with scripture?

What do you believe in this regard?

Well, I am not sure what my thoughts are on UFOs. If there are any ships that appear in the sky, those ships might be top secret military planes instead of spacecraft. If UFOs are not of Earth origin, they might be of alien origin. However, there is not enough information to confirm nor deny the existence of extraterrestrial spacecraft, or whether the aliens are peaceful or have sinister plans.

I believe that God created the world and space (Genesis), so that means He has the capability of creating other planets outside of our solar system. Scientists already discovered thousands of planets outside of our solar system, known as exoplanets. Exoplanets orbit other stars, and are many light years away from our own star. Whether God placed life on other planets, the Bible does not specify anything about alien life.

If humanity does somehow meet intelligent alien life, once scientists/linguists understand the aliens' language, we should try to tell them about Jesus Christ in an understanding way (not forced), so that the aliens may be saved. Also, that would make a very good premise for a Christian sci-fi TV show. We should pitch this to Hollywood or an indie movie studio.

Mark 16:15-16 (NKJV): "And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."

I believe UFO's are demonic forces at work.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

If good angels can appear as humans, then fallen angels can as well.

UFO's and Men In Black ... ya ... I believe they are real.

There is a strong belief that some form of advanced alien life, is out there.
However, I believe that the creator of everything has told us the truth about life in existence.
God says, at Psalm 115:16, "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men."

God also inspired his servant Paul, to write at1 Corinthians 15:39-49

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of mankind, another flesh of animals, another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.​

​

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written: “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” The last Adam was a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly one, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.​

So, I believe any sightings of UFOs, or aliens, would be a product of one of the two life-forms God created - spirits, or flesh.

Men in Black is a good movie series. Who knows, UFOs could be demonic forces, or they could be advanced military aircraft with tech that is a few decades more advanced than civilian tech, built by humans. I am leaning to the latter, but with UFOs, anything is possible.

I somehow don't think advanced military aircraft would be going around abducting people.

Me neither, unless it is the Russians or North Koreans. Who knows what those countries' governments do.

As a Christian I reason. A UFO is merely an Unidentified Flying Object. Key word here is " unidentified ". Any vision or manifestation, especially in Ezekiel, was " identified" and explained. So now we can move on to those who come from another planet and visit us. We'll, that has not happened. Additionally, demons do not need crafts to travel. They are not of the flesh.
So rest in peace and stop worring about such things.
Be blessed.

All we can do is pray for peace, and the end of the tensions and dictatorships in Russia and North Korea. We need peace badly nowadays in this dark world.

Yes, indeed!

Not to mention Israel!

 

[AlexB23]

Yes, indeed!

Especially pray for peace in Israel. Israel has been attacked so many times over the thousands of years. Pray for an end to war.

A guy here, @Dave Darling uploaded a few documentaries on Israel. The documentaries are interesting:

Israel's Operation Orchard

Something else that I just discovered on YouTube, it is a documentary on Operation Orchard, another secret Israeli Air Force mission to take out a Syrian nuclear reactor being used to produce plutonium to make a nuclear bomb. This took place several years after the raid on the Iraqi nuclear...

The Bible doesn't mention house cats either. However, I'm skeptical of aliens as portrayed in popular culture. Most UFO/UAPs strike me as human-made. Whether by talented hobbyists or secret government programs. Craft that supposedly defy the laws of nature might be explained by the manipulation of light or photonics. A bit like the laser dots that cats chase after. Look how quickly the red dot can accelerate and change direction, and think of how useful a more sophisticated version of that might be to the military. Distracting enemy pilots and whatnot.

I don't think angelic or demonic activity would be so easily detected or tracked, but it might explain how so-called alien life got here. Moving between dimensions on our own planet rather than traveling from distant stars. It's also biblical for angels to change their appearance. I'd think demons would be able to do the same, as they are said to be fallen angels. Also, the graphic reports of abductees seem demonic and Christians are rarely abducted. I've even heard of people mentioning the name of Jesus, at which point the things ran away.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there is life on other planets. Maybe even similar to life on Earth. The universe is vast and stars are suns. Many of which have planets, and some of which may be similar to our own. If God is the creator of nature, I would be surprised if he didn't also create life elsewhere, but I doubt that people from there have visited us considering the distance. And if they are capable of getting here, maybe those beings actively avoid us.

It seems odd to me that they would travel so many light years to get here in technologically superior spaceships only to crash on our planet. But then again, who knows.

 

[All Becomes New]

Demons.

No reason they could not have things to fly themselves.

It is more than a coincidence that nearly all times where there have been encounters with these beings the occult has been involved in some way.

The "real" men in black were a thing way before that movie came out.

I first became aware of this jazz over 50 years ago. And nothing has really changed about it. If they're real, they've never made any kind of significant impact. They fly around and they do catch and release abductions of 1% of the population. That's it.

How intrigued am I supposed to be over the same old story?

The only change so to speak is they've gone from being saucer or cigar shaped to being triangle shaped, and now to being square boxes inside clear spheres.

I somehow don't think advanced military aircraft would be going around abducting people.

I had a medical procedure called A coronary angiogram, also known as a cardiac catheterization. You are awake for this and the screen that they use is huge. I can understand why people think a medical procedure in a operating room was an obduction by aliens.

They usually get people in and out in four or five hours. So I can understand how people can have strange obduction memories about that. I asked them in recovery if this was an alien obduction and they did not know how to respond.

I had a procedure for my son that I talked the doctor into doing in the emergency room. We were in and out in two or three hours.

Maybe the science can take a hike people somehow avoid these sort of obductions.

Do I believe there is a physical manifestation of devils as aliens in spacecraft? Uh, no
