ALIENS and UFO's
First let me say that my reasoning is based on the Bible,
so if you don't believe in the Bible then it is pointless
arguing over this subject. What I would encourage you to do
is first look at the creation studies and come to a realisation
that we are not an accident of nature but a well thought out
and wonderfully designed creation by a supreme God.
There is no indication in the Bible that God created any
other beings like mankind. That is to say we are the only
creatures with a Soul and a Spirit. Genesis 2:7 separates
us from the Angels in heaven and from animals, which we see
later in the New testement interpretations.
7.And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Animals do not have a soul, (for an explanation of this statement
click on HERE ), Christ
did not die that animals could have eternal life, they are
instinctive creatures and do not posses a free will, independent
and cognitive thought. They may not be dumb but neither are
they equal in any respect to mankind. They did not sin and
yet as part of creation they were included in the overall
fall of creation, as were the plants and earth itself.
It is also well to note that if God had created another creature similar to man then why did Lucifer, Satan, the Devil pick on mankind to vent his anger. If we were created with a free will to choose between right and wrong then surely they too would have been given this attribute, and like Adam and Eve eventually strayed from the path. If this is the case then we come into serious theological discussion on how many times can Christ enter a world and die, even if it is another life form.
We must also take into account that God created man for a reason, it was to look after the Garden, which was placed on the earth for a reason also. Genesis 2:15
15. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Added to this is the fact that God created man in HIS image
(Genesis 2:27), would He not do the same if He created any
other creature? While this is not specifically talking about
our physical appearance but our triune makup, again it sets
us apart form any other living creature on earth and in the
universe according to the Bible.
27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The stars too were created for a reason, they were created
for mankind as can be specifically seen in Genesis 1:14. Also
Psalm 19 gives another account.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
This is all well and good and what I am saying really speaks
to the converted. After all if you believe in aliens then
you could make any hypothesis, and in reality as the Bible
does not say otherwise then you could say, yes they might
exist. All I have put forward is an idea based on common sense
logic. If this is the case and there aren't any aliens, then
what are these strange occurrences we keep hearing about?
Unidentified Flying Objects as the name suggests are unidentified,
and not necessarily alien in origin, however people have had
close encounters with craft of unusual description and flying
characteristics. Most of these can be accounted for by military
aircraft and technology, and in a lot of cases tricks on the
mind. We know from documents found after WWII that the Germans
were producing and developing weapons and aircraft far in
advance of anything seen on the earth. After all they had
kidnapped or acquired many scientists to work on their projects.
It was after the war when the U.S and Russia stepped in and
re-acquired these scientists to work for them, whisking them
away with anything that was left intact at these development
bases.
It was later in 1947 when we got the first glimpse of their efforts from the now famous Area 51, and the Roswell incident. Just think then, the developments which would have been made from then until now. Most of the aircraft we are privy too from these sites are the spin off's, the by-products of the real development. If you are talking about anti-gravity you must look back to the late 1800's for the development of that. We are not talking new technology, just hidden technology, saved for military purposes.
Next we have the Satanic element. We know from the Bible in Ephesians 2:2 that Satan is quite at home in the air and all about the earth.
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of the power
of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience:
In fact he is the prince of the earth, a title taken from Adam when he sinned. If this were not the case then how could Satan have been able to offer then to Jesus in Mathew 4:8-9
8. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9. And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
This was no mere joke, Jesus did not contradict him and
it would not have been a valid temptation anyway if Satan
did not have the right o give what he was proposing. But why
would Satan or his angels pretend to be aliens?
This is a very good question and one, which has two answers. The first is to discredit the Bible and the Christian teachings. If he can get people preoccupied with extra-terrestrials then their minds will be far from God and the teachings of the Bible. Secondly he is preparing for the end and some great deception which he will try to cover up the rapture with and also probably introduce the Anti-Christ. Whatever his future plans you can be sure that he is revelling in the confusion being created.
Angels can manifest themselves in many forms and there is
no reason to doubt that Satan's angels are any different.
Even though we call them Devils or demons they are in essence
angels. Also it is a misconception to think that they are
locked away until the end of time, yes some are reserved in
darkness untill judgement but most, including the ones which
sinned and mated with human women as told in Genesis 6:4,
are as free as Satan himself. Just because they have lost
their 'position' in heaven, it does not mean they have lost
any of their basic powers of an angel.
4 In those days, and even afterward, giants* lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old.
Although it is the Word from God, which the angel takes to
do His bidding, that gives the angel the ability to do a task,
there are inherent ablilities already in the angel that God
can utilise. After all many angels do day to day tasks, for
which God would have equipped them, when He created them.
Angels are in some way similar to the animals of the earth, they all have jobs to do in the grand make up of things and they all have specific roles and abilities to do those roles. If you take them from their environment, this does not mean they loose that ability, it just means they can no longer do that specific role to which they were created. So Satan has an army of angels all with different abilities and I am sure he uses them wisely.
The last point I would like to make is probably the most
disturbing answer to alien existence. It is the union between
man and the demonic forces. Most World powers have dabbled
with the occult, the Russian and Americans being the most
prominent. Even today they experiment with powers they should
be leaving alone, trying to produce a perfect weapon or spying
device. They have literally sold their souls to the Devil
for a dream.
I am sure that Satan has connections high up in governments,
and controls many politicians, in return helping scientists
develop better aircraft and weapons, putting into their minds
the blueprint for HIS future. We are not talking main stream
politicians or businessmen but the people who are really in
power, those who do not change with each political election.
Dont get me wrong I am not saying they have a personal relationship
with Satan, but due to their affiliations and membership to
certain societies they are in effect under his control.
The rest is down to us, our imagination. If you think you
see something long enough then eventually you will see it.
Fear is a terrible weapon and one, which Satan has had plenty
of practice. There is a time coming when all these things
will make sense and Satan will show his true colours. Unfortunately
that time will be during the period of tribulation, as foretold
in the Bible. The only way to escape it is to believe in God
and follow Him, not the way of the world. Luke 21:36 says;
36. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of man.
