1 | Believing in the Bible and E.T.'s | Eph 2:2 | FOE*HAMMER | 164435 | ||
You are right that it is not my place to judge my fellow man, but that was not the intent of my posting. Rather I would broaden your horizens. I gave to you the message I would need to hear if I felt the way that has been described here. I make no assumptions about God, but rather I draw upon knowlegde wich has been made plain to me. It is you who assumes I have no knowledge of aliens. There is no way I can make what I know about aliens as plain to you as God has made it me, except to help you widen your scope of understanding of God's creation and it's giant nature, in the hope he will reveal it to you as well. When you are given the opritunity to expand your knowledge of God, jump on it! Pope John Paul's main focus of research, can you geuss what it was? Aliens. He wanted to know, not weather or not they are real, but rather weather or not he should try and convert them. He knew far more than me about God's word, yet believed the same as me, as to the reality of aliens. Do you need to see the wind to know it is there? Have you ever tasted, felt, seen or really heard an idea? How do you know an idea exsists then? My ideas are folly, flawed and in error like anything that comes from man. Don't belive me not a single word that is mine will sway your heart. I take no glory for myself or seek to profit in any way but rather all glory be to God, all profit of these ideas are his, because it is he who let me say them! I ask you not to trust in ME, but rather trust that God's glory is beyond your ability to comprehend. I feel that great and terrible things will soon come to pass, and I am hopeing these ideas will steel your heart against the trials and tribulations ahaed. I did not mean to ridicule you personaly or any man personaly, but I was hopeing to help you realize how if you truely had even a musterd seed of faith mountains would move from your path daily. This idea is not mine it is from God. I am not totaly ignorant of his word, I am simpley not able to quote you the verse and chapter of every thing I know from it. I will love God no matter what he is or what he does, I ask you not to let UFO's or aliens shake your faith in the Almighty. Do not fear them or praise them, for they were made by he who made you as well. |

Hello again FOE, I took no offense at your previous post nor meant any through mine. Let me respond to this post with sincerety as well. You wrote: "Rather I would broaden your horizens. I gave to you the message I would need to hear if I felt the way that has been described here." I passionately argue that the only message that any of us need is not your own, but the message of God found in His word. What knowledge has God "made plain" to you. And I never "assumed you have no knowledge of Aliens". I stated that you write as though you believe they exist. Furthermore, in the last post you do say that you have special knowledge from God about aliens and that you do believe they exist. You write " When you are given the opritunity to expand your knowledge of God, jump on it!" I warn: if you are receiving anything from any source other than God's word (the Holy Bible), or anything that does not agree with the bible or seeks to go beyond what is written, flee from it. It is not of God. By the way, I would offer the same advise to any man including the Pope of the Catholic Church. I have no knowledge of the Pope or any recognized church leader taking such a position but if one should they are mistaken. A very basic understanding of the gift of salvation reveals that it is something offered to mankind. The conversion of aliens is as rediculous (to me) as the conversion of Angels. After all, we know angels exist, but the Pope nor any other seeks to "convert" them (to my knowledge). Refer to 1 Peter 1:12 for a little insight there. You write: Do you need to see the wind to know it is there? Have you ever tasted, felt, seen or really heard an idea? How do you know an idea exsists then? I see evidence of the wind and the Lord has blessed me with senses, logic and common sense. Regarding the idea question, it's just not a logical question. An idea is by definition something that is imagined in the mind. So, based on your logic, I guess aliens are real. That is, in the imagination and mind of some. Finally friend, spend some time studying the word of God and gaining a better understanding of the faith that saves us in Christ our Lord. When one is "converted" the Holy Spirit Himself is given by God. It is, as I mentioned previously, a faith that is given by and maintained by God, not the one converted. My point is, if one is truly converted, an alien crashing through his living room in a flying saucer couldn't shake his faith. God is our sustainer and He who began the work of salvation in us, is faithful to complete it. (see Philippians 1:6). Friend, please consider investing a portion of your time reading the bible and asking God to reveal the truth to you. Consider what it has to say about Jesus Christ. Consider what it has to say about man's hopeless condition and need for a savior. Consider Romans chapter 10 verses 9 and 10. Sincerely, Jeff |
