Aliens in the Bible?

[LoveofTruth]

If s so called space man or alien came and gave a different message than the gospel for salvation they would be false messengers , or we could call them false angels fallen angels etc . The word "angels" simply means messenger . Paul says that even if an angel (messenger) from heaven preaches a different gospel don't listen to him

Hi Bob,

The issue i have is that it would be easy for spacemen to pass themselves of as Angel's or deities.

That might be true - hard to say about beings that we have no info on at all.

But your statement applies with less gaps to a "3000 year old news paper" than it does to the Bible. The news boys don't claim to be getting messages right off the wire from God from visions given on the spot. But bible writers do. That does not mean that they did not also have "news" back then - but inspired writing is not at all "MSNBC". Not now -- not ever.

Your argument is that anyone advanced enough could meet a human 4000 years ago and appear to be a god of some sort. Fine - and all the news outlets back then would duly report something like what you are saying. But that is nothing like what we claim for the Bible. Infinite all-powerful God is a big step beyond anything of that sort -- in fact infinitely beyond it.

We know of two kinds of Angels in the Bible- Seraphs and Cherubim.

We can suppose there are a zillion other kinds of intelligent beings in the universe - but we don't have that much info on them in the Bible.

You see things like visions in bible times could be caused by advanced Alien technology in fact pretty much all of the supernatural stuff in the bible could easily be caused and explained by advanced technology.

We have more than think. They thought it worthy to pay Eziekel a visit and show off with their flying wheels.

They also thought it worth abducting Enoch and taking him on a tour of the heavens. Whats facinating about Enoch it probally the oldest recorded alien abduction.

I wish we could know more about Alien life but while NASA, The Vatican and world governments continue to cover up evidence of it its existence we remain in the dark.

They could still be demons in disquise but we are never going to know unless this mass deception stops.

Suggestions that there were space men is far more plausible than angelic beings with magical powers.

That's the problem with some christian's, they can believe in weird supernatural events written in a two thousand year old book but can't accept the existence of Alien life or the fact there were active during bible times.

I thought the Salvation Army was a Christ-centered organization. What's your posts all about?

[QUOTE="Postvieww, post: 70519162,

If you refer to “chariots of fire” no evidence these come from other planets. If this is not whar you are talking about please point out the scripture.

We read some interesting verses about chariots (vehicles in Hebrew)

2 Kings 6: 16. And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”

Vehicles of fire

Also Elisha went up into Heaven in a fiery vehicle (chariot)

Just interesting.

Maybe these angels when doing things in our physical world use some form of physical device. We know that angels can become physical and wrestle men, kill, etc. But they can also become invisible and move like lightning and go into sone other form or dimension. But all these things are great mysteries.
