Hey there people, okay so first off let me just say that i am a christian..but i've seen so much evidence that religion was start due to the lack of knowledge of the universe and the world around mankind..i still believe in a creator and an after life but not the way the hardcore Christians portray it (do i believe there are angels in the sky?) no but maybe something else. (some other dimension? that is my opinion)

Anyways back to what i was saying about the stories of the encounters or visitations of "Angels" or "Gods" who descended from the heavens with incredible power and chariots...now what they did mean by this? were these
"gods" or Aliens from other worlds?.. mainstreamers just debunk it as being a made up story by religious folks.. i do not think this is the case at all, i mean how could they just make stuff up like this? i think they saw something which at their time they could not explain and tried to relate it to angels with amazing powers or gods for that matter.

here is a short summary of what i am trying to say (its a recreation but it wasnt the aliens who visited them it was us and they tried to relate it to gods..and this really did happen.

if there are some religious folks here, sorry i dont mean to offend you im just trying to get some credibility... and no rude comments please!

Yessir. The older I get and the more I observe, the more confident I become that extraterrestrial visitors have played a significant role in human history

First off... That's a really cool cockateil in your siggy.


Many of the stories found in the bible and other religious doctrine, are based off from pagan beliefs.

Similar is the fact that most christian holidays are derived from pagan rituals and seasons.

well others don't seem to think so... i remember a painting done by the indians? i believe, in the 1400's where they show strange looking things flying in the sky (golden birds which seem to glow and have wings) and the sad thing is many who worship the Indian god actually believe those stories to be true...

i relate them to ET's

Mixing the Bible with UFO/Aliens is a very dark road to go down.

Aliens are NOT extraterrestrial... They ARE inter-dimensional fallen angels.

How you can claim to be a Christian yet not believe in the angelic realm is beyond me, do you not believe what scripture says? Are you calling Jesus a liar? there are many instances where angels are mentioned in the new testament. What is better, to believe what unrighteous men offer you here, or trust and believe God's word as being the infallible truth? God is a loving God, not a deceptive one, trust me if he created life on other planets he would of told us about it not kept it from us.

I think it would be wise if you did some research on the Nephilim and Demonic Alien deception before you start making up your own reality which is nothing but a fantasy tale in the making.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here and don't find what i said offensive.

You will get alot of Ungodly men here offering you all sorts of theories about the bible and extraterrestrials but what they are doing is leading you astray and trying to make slip away from God's word. These are deceivers don't be fooled by them my brother.

We know about these stories from bits here and there in the Bible and elsewhere. These are clues to the larger mystery of where we are on earth and where we are headed. These mysteries can only be fully known by reading the Bible with a mind for the larger picture. First, baptism is immersion into the water of the body. The temple is the mind where the spirit of God resides with our soul. The veil to the temple entrance is placed there to keep us from knowing our previous estate before our soul was placed in the material world. When Jesus was raised, He said that the veil was torn. This indicates that we are now able to see bits and pieces past our lack of knowledge. This entire story is tied to the Garden story in Genesis 3 where God instructed man on the fruit of knowledge.

Essentially, if we reached out our minds to knowledge in pride, by our own efforts, then our search for understanding would be in toil and labor. If we allowed God to give us the fruit in humility, we would have been able to learn by following instead of taking. Knowledge is a gift. The Garden is our womb of development.

I cannot read the Bible to you here, so you will need to read it yourself. As you do, keep in mind that all the stories in the Bible are on two levels. They actually happened, and they are allusions to more important ideas for our future. For instance, the exodus from Egypt is a picture of the believer's exodus from earth one day. The promised land is where we are headed. This is the kingdom of God in the heavens. Take a look out and you see the universe. This is where we are exiting to.

The entire book of Deuteronomy is the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Ephesians reveals that there are families in heaven and that we are going there to rule with Christ in the kingdom.

Here is an example:

Deutronomy 4:
19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. 20 But as for you, the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.

We are not to make idols from the heavens. The heavens are our inheritance. We are appointed to the stars.

We are also told that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. This is true since we cannot leave earth apart form taking some of it with us. We are also told that we will gain a new body that is glorified for heaven. We are told that we will receive new gifts and abilities. Connect the dots and you see that we are headed for more than walking a planet.

Read the Bible for all it's worth.

Excuse me? I take the time to reply to your thread with wisdom and that is the thanks I get? Wow...

And your salvation does not rely on you going to church to let you know...



um there are other planets in the universe just to let you know


What are you trying to imply? Why can you just not accept God's word rather then believing what others will tell you?

because i cant see god, so therefore i can make my own judgements... until god contacts me and tells me otherwise i will believe that there is no heaven but another dimensional resting place

bad guys will be reincarnated as something worse than humans.... maybe cows

Do you affirm the deity of Christ (that he is God in the flesh)? and that he physicaly rose from the dead on the 3rd day beating death so our sins could be washed away by grace and faith alone?

Aliens? Reincarnation?? You need to read the Bible instead of watching the "History" Channel.

Consider the story the Bible tells us. If history (His story) happened as that Book says, we would expect the true account of things to be garbled and corrupted, just as it has been. This does not invalidate the original story, as so many people imply. Think it through.

EXACTLY! When you go astray from the Bible you end up in real trouble.

I encourage this topic starter to study the word and let Jesus guide him.
