Heres why I say "aliens" have a place in the bible. Long post alert.
What we know from actual biblical descriptions of "angels", when veiwed from a modern lens, does infact qualify angels as "extraterrestrial".
According to Jude, angels number atleast 100 million. Angels literally come down from way above, as in genesis, the vision of ezekiel, and the fiery chariot of elijah, and new jerusalem in revelation.
Ezekiel and elijiah both display transportation craft, even if they are a "lightform" structure. Even the idea of God having a mobile throne, does, infact, show transportaion.
The watchers of genesis were physical beings. They came down from above the sky, probably in crafts, and took wives, having hybrid children thru intercourse. They were physical beings.
They taught humans all kinds of sciences and things, and ways to satisfy desires. Yes it was bad for us, but thats not the point here. The "angels" were already knowledgeable before they came here, making us a strong civilization. This implies that they came from a different strong civilization, that knew and used all such things already. This implies industriusness, as metallurgy and war were things they taught, so wherever they came from, must have been a place that already mastered such things.
Now thats just the watchers. Other angels appear like men, and can eat and drink. Other angels really do seem to be nonphysical, whatever that means. They also have powers.
The super powers of God, Angels and Spirits are numerous and definitely worth a mention.
Spoken creation, or thought manifestation, would be pretty cool, tho Im pretty sure only God and Jesus have displayed it. Instant transmission. The tree that withered after Jesus shamed it. Transmutation of substances. Control of weather and animals/swarms. Calling fire down from heaven. Calling forth plaques and famines and draughts. Healing the sick and the broken. RAISING THE DEAD!!!
The "heavenly body", which the angels disrobed from to come down, which we believers eagerly await for at the ressurection, is basically like going super saiyan. We'll be given immortal, super powered physical bodies, that will be our living bodies but made perfect by The Lord.
As for visions and abilities.
Meditation is used to achieve contact with spirit, and to develop your own sensitivity to spirit. God is a spirit, and desires worshipers to worship him in truth and in spirit, and truth is, meditation is the pathway to contact with spirit. It is inside us. Period.
The voice of God can be heard as a still small voice in the silence of your mind, when you can control ur thoughts and mind to the point of maintaining silent blackness in ur mind for several minutes.
The spirit of God/Jesus inhabits us because we are the new temple. Ur mind is the holy of holies were the Lord is found. Jesus, who is our high priest, lives in our hearts, which is the holy place, where our high priest makes acceptable sacrifices to the Lord on our behalf, sacrifices being the things we do for God and the kindness we show others in his name. We are the lower priest, whose job is to take care of the temple and its needs, and to obey our high priests commands. This is to be taken literally, not metaphorically.
This is the basis behind visions from The Lord.
After mastering the still silent blackness in ur mind, we master the ability to hold a single image in that blackness, often a candle or rose or apple. After mastering the ability to hold images, the next step is the screen.
In the still silent blackness, we hold the image of a screen before our sight. Make the border as u wish, but upon holding the blank screen, The Lord will flash images and pictures, OUT OF UR CONTROL, across the screen u r imagining.
This is all done in ur imagination, with ur eyes closed, while in a trance, while meditating.
These images that The Lord flashes across ur imaginary screen, are infact messages from God, but just like with dreams, the images need to be interpreted. The images come from same part of brain as dreams, and therefore have to be interpreted just like dreams do.
This is called clairvoyancy. The exact same process can be used to recieve info from other spirits as well, including the false and lying gods, as the pagan priests did, and its that abusability that has led to people not understanding it and thinking all psychic stuff is of the devil, when we r the ones made in Gods image.
Its the trance-like states of the mind, that connects us fully to spirit. Everyone and everything is connected to spirit. When a person falls into the correct state, speaking in tongues is possible thru connecting in ur spirits, itll allow ur brain to control ur mouth in that persons language. Falling into these certain states of mind, is something The Lord brings about on anyone he so chooses.
Daniel was in a meditative state when he was praying and had an angel visit him and show him a vision and tell him its meaning, as it had to be interpreted.
Apostle Peter was deep in meditative trance by himself on the 2nd floor of the house, when he had a vision of animals in a large sheet, lowered down by its corners, God told him the meaning, then an angel told him theres dudes at the door. True story. He came out of meditation, opened his eyes and opened the door and there they were.
Apostle Paul had an out of body experience, prob during meditation. Heck, all of revelation is basically the trance visions of Apostle John while he lived on patmos.
Btw, u can go in trance while wide awake and doing stuff. Stare at something for 10 mins and ull go into a light trance. The same thing happens while driving, its called highway hypnosis.
It happens uncontrollably here and there, and thats one reason why most people have few spiritual experiences in their lives. But it can be controlled and improved upon. Like a muscle, it can be made strong and resilient. With proper practice, anybody can learn to develop the abilities that God has given u.

Seeing auras is developed with certain eyeball exercises to strengthen yes the muscles, but particularly the rods and cones. They r the light and color receptor cells, and by using color opposites and ghost images(seeing a color, lookin away and seein its opposite as a cloud in ur vision) u can increase their sensitivity to a wider range of the light spectrum, thereby letting u see auras. That has nothing to do with psychic powers, its just eyeball exercises!
Anyways, this brings me to the end of this horribly too long post haha, but thanks for reading it, i know it took time. God bless all of u reading this, and may Jesus bless u and ur families and yalls finances and properties and animals and supplies. God bless u all. Much love.

Welcome to CF! Thanks for sharing your perspective on the alien/ angel theory. I too was fascinated will Erich Von Daniken at one time, I even had similar conclusions on the subject as you. But after careful research and the guidance of His Holy Spirit, I have put away such things. Pray for His Comforter to guide you in all truth and discernment. Be blessed.

Hello, Maria.

Hello Maria. Thanx for taking the time to read it. Pls, by all means, point out specifically the things iv said that are wrong. After careful research and guidance from the God who made the signs, then surely u must be able to point out specifics, such as why the watchers were infact, nonphysical, or how peters vision was NOT from meditation. Surely u could do such a simple thing.
But for a person to simply accuse someone of being wrong and misguided, without showing how or why, is for said person to expose their ignorance and bias.
So ima need u to be a lil more specific. If u dont mind.

Sure! Firstly, the watchers you are referring to work in unison or are the same as the "holy ones". They are not aliens which typically, if not always, are evil. They did not descend and mate with humans either. This idea, from the Book of Enoch, is fantasy.
So that puts this theory at odds with scripture.

Scripture:
Daniel4: 17
‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,

In order that the living may know
That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the lowest of men.’

As far as Peters dream, I see no evidence that he was meditating to conjure up a spirit let alone the Holy Spirit. When scripture speaks of meditating it is referring to "thinking" about the wonderful things of God. Here is the definition:

"think deeply or carefully about (something)."

These are for starters.
Blessings
