NASB | Ephesians 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:2 in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God]. |
Bible Question: Is it contradictory to believe in the Bible and also to believe in Extra Terrestrial Beings (i.e. aliens from other planets) |
Bible Answer: I submit that the Bible does not address the possibility of extra-terrestrial life, at least in the normal biological sense. Therefore, there is no reason to support nor deny it on the basis of scripture. Perhaps the more important issue is how you respond to that possibility. If true, then I suggest it provides another witness to God's creativity. If not, then our collective existence is that much more meaningful as a unique expression of His love, just as our individuality reflects His love for diversity. With respect to the modern "folklore" surrounding UFO's and aliens, I believe we must not be seduced by these distractions. James instructs us to "test everything" and "hold onto the good". If you find any "good" evidence for aliens, let me know. Parable. |
