Subject: Believing in the Bible and E.T.'s |
Bible Note: 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! |
