I have never heard or read anyone come up with your interpretation on the matter. Ezekiel met the Lord in the whirlwind, not an alien. And the beings described was the Lord's living craft for travel.
.
There are inter-dimensional "aliens", of course, but the Bible calls them angels and demons.
Holy Beings don't need technology though. Fallen Angels are not supernatural, they are mortal like you and me and can die and be killed. They live on other planets and are way more advanced than we are.
It does in this context cause Aliens and Demons are not supernatural creatures. They are just like you me and you and live on earth like worlds in the universe but are far more advanced.Their advanced technology maybe considered supernatural in nature.
Heaven may well be another earth like planet trillions of light years from our own.
Why does the God of the universe need a spacecraft?
Ezekiel's limited understanding of what he saw led him to believe he encountered the lord. What he actually saw and encountered were beings from another world.
Please show me in the Bible where an angel or demon uses technology.There may well be but in the bible you have two type of Angels or Demons. One's that appear to use technology and others that appear to use more supernatural forms.
What Christianity does, wrongly in my opinion is treat them all as the same.
The ones that use technology are not supernatural and can be killed.
I know this is somewhat of a dumb question, but I'm fairly new to the faith and I'm still figuring things out. My question is; how should I feel about reading/writing/watching works with aliens in them? Does entertaining the thought of another species with an advanced society insult God? I mean, it does say that humans are indeed the most advanced of His creations. But then again, wouldn't that also mean that any personification of other species, or creating our own is as well? I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything, I just seriously would like to know, as sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, and I want to be sure I'm not sinning in enjoying it. Thanks in advance.
Aliens are a non-issue. After all, man thinking he's the hottest thing since sliced bread is what made man fall. God is alien if you don't consider Christ. Angels are all aliens too. So it's not like Christianity says humans are the only other sentient life.
Christianity and the Bible are really just about God and man and our relationship to each other. There's no reason for it to focus on any other being God has created that we don't know about.
In fact, it can break one of the commandments if we do this. Making heaven images of heaven above and earth below - calling it art in many cases - is what has confused and manipulated the generations into a fog of ignorance about their Father and their enemies.
You are confusing idol worship with fanciful stories everyone knows are made up. People who read and watch scifi aren't automatically dumb enough to believe in the government's little gray men.
The difference being that an idol is made as a demon's vessel to give a human and a spirit a focus point, and the other is just reflective thought and play. That's like comparing and apple to an orangutan.

Aliens are an issue though. It's when Man finally grows up. Making contact is the most important thing ever. Until then we continue to kill, discriminate and have pointless wars over deities who don't exist.
