Aliens, UFO’s and Space travel… what is the truth of it? – Part 3
Generally speaking I am not much of a “conspiracy” person, but God knows there is no shortage of “conspiracy” theories in this world. It almost has a “cult” like following throughout the decades, especially with the advent of film and special affects to enhance the drama of a possible idea. But what is the truth of all of this? The Bible makes very clear in one book that God will bring a strong dilution on the world for those who disobey Him and that signs and wonder will be done in heaven, both by good and evil forces, which would put to rest the question of UFO’s and the “why” of the space program at least (Matt. 24:24, 2 Thess. 2:9-12, Hebrews 2:4, Rev. 16:14). The word used to describe angels in particular which means “messenger” are used to describe both “celestial” and “terrestrial” bodies in the New and Old Testament (Genesis 32:3, Luke 7:24). But do we need to be deceived? This week I will talk about the topic of the more “alien” kind using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice….cont’d.
Now regarding space travel, God has placed in us the desire to travel. We have the desire to explore, grow and “conquer” new places, God said from the beginning for us to have dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28). The point is that it is only natural for us to desire to find new places to live and explore. Of course from a practical perspective, there is also a survival aspect of discovering new planetary systems. But this is where faith comes into play. God is spirit (John 4:24). Although He created the physical realm He desires us to be like Him, which is first and foremost spirit driven (John 6:63, Romans 8:6, and 1 John 2:6). It is the spirit that gives life and we need to realize this (Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4). May we be doing some “space” travel in the future to other “solar” systems? Possibly. Is there life beyond our solar system? This is also possible. The Bible says, with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). Do I believe all of the “Hollywood”, conspiracy and cult like depictions of “aliens” and other worlds, not likely, but again the Bible does say with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). Not to mention that some of these films do a good job of depicting some of the best and worst of human nature in these “alien” characters and story lines. So what do you believe?
More to come…
