Aliens have already visited earth and are responsible for many of the world religions. Now i am not saying this is the case for christianity, although there appears to be a lot of Alien activity in the bible.
I don't think we are even alone in our Milky Way galaxy.There could be as many 100 million other solar systems in our Galaxy alone.
Well theres the fact also that He never talks about any other planets/people because we are the only ones. He wouldn't hide other creations from us then not tell us, because He would be lying. Which He cannot do. And in the end times theres nothing that hints about anything having to do with those "other people". All this aside theres never been any proof of aliens or UFOs.
(bites tongue)
"Worlds" looses something in translation. "Borne" or "Fallen" is better. In other words, what God has created is a manifestation of powers and principalities (plural).Except in Hebrews 11 and in Hebrews 1 God tells us that He made "other WORLDS".
Not only that but in Job 1 and 2 - the first-created "Adam"s from all those other worlds meet together with God - and Satan comes among them - Satan says he represents Earth in that meeting because he had taken Adam's dominion from him at the fall.
Angels could be aliens.
At the time, the Bible was created by people's limited knowledge about spaceships and advanced technology that the aliens possessed at the time. Angels with wings in chariots could be viewed as a spaceship in modern times.
They did not have the terminology to describe what they saw accurately as we do now. I would not take every word in the Bible literally.
There are good angels and bad angels. There are also good spirits and bad spirits. However, I don't think it is this simplistic. Good vs. bad etc seems to be too simple-minded
"Worlds" looses something in translation. .
But from a worldly standpoint if you say you believe in aliens, they will think you believe in little green men from outerspace.
They won't think you mean angels. Though I just prefer the term angel because its what they are. Even in the story (well in many) of Jesus resurrection they seen an "angel" at the tomb. Granted I'm not sure the original Hebrew word used at the time.
I was referring to the fact that "worlds" did not reveal the spiritual meaning or understanding. All things come in parables, and must be discerned spiritually.Worlds is a legitimate translation as the translators themselves actually read and speak the language into which they are translating. The fact that it is not the only one possible and that context rules - merely opens the door to 'more guessing' or shall we say "more second-guessing" in this case. But leads to no certainty at all about the 'second guess'.
I was referring to the fact that "worlds" did not reveal the spiritual meaning or understanding. All things come in parables, and must be discerned spiritually.
Just as I said, just as it is written, "All things come in parables" Mark 4:11.So then virgin birth "merely a parable"?
bodily resurrection "merely a parable" ?
miracles of Christ "merely parables"??
second coming of Christ "merely a parable" to be spiritualized away?
does that sort of thing "have an end"??
Both good angels and bad angels are alien to this earth. They were not created here. So obviously all those statements are true in that post.
That is one of the complaints people offer against the Drake equation (which is now known by empirical evidence to have vastly underestimated the case for intelligent life). Some folks ask about all the EM signatures that would be in the RF range if all those worlds came up through our same corrupt-the-earth self-destroying path in forming their civilizations.
Three problems with that gross assumption.
1. Angels travel from earth to heaven and thus we know without any doubt that non-God - created beings can navigate distances that would require faster-than-light travel. So we know with certainty - it is possible. we just don't know how to do it.
2. Civilized cultures have the need for real-time or near-real-time communication... no matter the distances. We can see that in our own world - after the dark ages.
3. In a universe where planets with intelligent life on them are many light years apart - EM speed is wayyy too slow, be it in the RF band or not.
Even at the level of our own extremely limited science compared to other worlds - we know of a mechanism that solves the problem and does not use RF signatures of any kind. Quantum entanglement at the level of photons has been demonstrated - and it amounts to instant communication where the factor of distance does not matter. Experiments have already been done to show that this should be possible at the macro level.
So taking a crude example as illustration. Two TV cameras where the feed from their digital converters have a very short segment that is quantum entangled between the two. The active recording camera would be "transmitting" its video instantly to the paired Camera x-lightyears away. Distance does not matter in quantum physics when it comes to QE. (Not really transmitted - more like "impelling")
The point is that-- it is totally impractical for such civilizations to restrict themselves to the turtle-slow EM solution that works so well on a single planet but is useless across lightyears of space. Just as we would not get a bunch of turtles and attach messages to them - and send them across the continent as our "practical form of communication".
If the argument is that all other planets would have been forced to deluge their worlds in RF noise at some early stage of development - because we did that to ourselves -- is a bit of a leap. I am more inclined to believe that sinless worlds would have had clean water, clean air, pure food and clean EM bands.
Personal opinion---Angels and fallen angels and Satan are all aliens as far as they are not human. God made them as messengers and the fallen ones are now no longer able to traverse to other inhabited worlds. I say inhabited as Job states a sort of heavenly meeting which Satan attends as He is the prince of this world. I do believe God has intelligent life out there on other worlds, but after the fall, I personally feel that this whole galaxy is considered "contaminated" by sin and there is no life in it except for our planet. Obviously, I can not point to any scripture that states that--that I know of. I do believe that the whole universe is watching us and this whole Satan versus God battle. God could have blotted out Satan and his followers, but He didn't, He has let this whole thing come to it's conclusion so that the entire universe will not be left wondering if maybe Satan wasn't right. They have seen what the end result of sin has led to--they saw it at the cross and when God does destroy the fallen angels and the unrepentant wicked---there will be no doubt about the justice of that act.
As i have said in a previous post were a not even alone in our Milky way Galaxy.
if you study many ancient texts you find will evidence that we have been visited from beings from star systems in Orion, Sirius and Zeta- reticuli.
I dislike the use of the term term Angel here. Aliens are physical beings, Angels are supernatural/spiritual beings.
You can easily tell the difference between Aliens and Angels in the bible. Angels appear supernaturally like Gabriel did to Mary,
