I find it very sad that the faith of every one here is so miniscule that you have to put God Almighty who made the heavens above in such a tiny box. Are you so self important that any mention of beings from another planet destroys your faith? Would you do to Gallileo what the tiny minded men of the past have done, and put him to death for suggesting the earth is not the center of the universe? I admit I have studied God's great creation more than his word, but by studying what he has made by his own hand I have caught but a small glimpse of how far beyond our tiny minds he really is. You deny God's greatness when you suppose we are the center of the whole universe. I have faith you are wrong about that. We are not even at the center of our own galaxy. Our galaxy is but one of hundreds of BILLIONS! Show me a cosmologist that is an athiest and I'll show you a dense fool. You who say aliens could only be satan in disguise are only saying this to make yourself feel important, or because you can't believe God is SO great. How do you know the aliens aren't angels? Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." God is the God of ALL things, even aliens. Don't fear them for not even they can foil God's plans for us! Instead when you see a UFO or meet an alien, give praise to the Creator, and be thankfull he has exposed a tiny bit of his glory to you! I tell you with great faith in my Lord, that no alien would recoil at the holy name of our father, but he would rejoice that you praise him also! Jesus gave us the power to smite any unholy foe by useing his holy name did he not? If aliens are just demons, then they will have no power over you when you call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, is it not so? Don't resist God. Don't put God in a box, any box you can understand would be insultingly tiny to the creator. Don't fear the unknown, Jesus comanded us not to fear. Fear only God's judgement, but nothing in his creation. I'm sorry if this hurts anyone's feelings, but you must be insulting the Almighty with your narrow and dim view of him. Don't be hurt by this but be humble in God's presence, love him no matter how wonderous he is. Take heart the God who made you made these also! |

Hello FOE, Welcome to the forum. Your post was interesting although quite assuming. Not only regarding what others believe about aliens and why, but also about God and His creation. Perhaps I can offer some feedback that might lighten your sadness with every one here. You wrote: I find it very sad that the faith of every one here is so miniscule that you have to put God Almighty who made the heavens above in such a tiny box. I have to respond to this in the context of another one of your statements. You wrote: I admit I have studied God's great creation more than his word... These two statements, I believe, are the basic premise and reason that take the air out of your position. I don't mean that rudely. Christians, what we believe and teach, in no way put God "in a tiny Box" (as if that were possible). I believe that you and others who think this way most likely come to this conclusion unjustly. Because we don't "assume" things about God or His creation, it does not mean that we attempt to limit Him. With this said, let me encourage you to put forth more of your energy and time studying the word of God. It is great that we are able to learn much about His creation (especially with the technology of today). He did intend for us to know Him in part through what we observe of His creation, as He has made them plain to us: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead:" Romans 1:20 Notice the statement "clearly seen". Yet you write as though you believe in the exixtance of aliens. Have you clearly seen one? If the answer is no, does this mean they don't exist? No it doesn't. But to say they do is no more than assumption and, really, what's the point? So while you encourage others to not attempt to limit God (as if we could), I encourage you to not make unfounded assumptions about Him either. If God created aliens then they exist. Your belief in them does not make them any more real as the next guys disbelief does not make them any less. What's important is what God has chosen to reveal to us and making that the primary focus of our lives. What God has chosen to reveal at this point is His word which contains all that He desires for us. Finally, with this said, I am of the opinion that it is not the one who denies aliens that "resist God" but the one who puts other things before the study of His word and before getting to know Him through the method He chose. Think it through, P.S. Our faith is not "miniscule". It is a saving faith. And it is not of ourselves, but given to us by God Himself. So please be careful when you judge another person's faith. Sincerely, Jeff |
