• Angels and demons

    From Jcurtis@VERT to NIGHTFOX on Wed May 21 13:56:41 2025
    Are you saying any eyewitness accounts of aliens should be assumed to
    be false?

    Nightfox

    In the Bible they're called angels and demons. They don't need
    spacecraft to travel. They have interdimensional access.

    Demons like to fool people. The accounts may be real, though inaccurate
    about the source.

    I don't think we should assume angels & demons from the bible and extraterrestrials are the same thing..

    In the Bible, God tells us what we need to know. No mention of aliens in spacecraft.

    Demons are real though.

    Mark 5:1-20.

    There's a lot that the bible doesn't mention. The bible doesn't mention automobiles - does that mean they aren't real?

    How do you know, have you read it all? Few do.

    Mankind survived thousands of years without cars. Jesus didn't need one
    to change the world.

    I haven't, but I think it's safe to say the bible didn't specifically mention automobiles, computers, the internet, and other things we have from today..

    True, and that's aside the point.

    The Bible is prophetic. That means God can see the future. What we have
    today is powerless against His judgment. Forseen and foretold.

    How do you reconcile us having free with with God being able to see into the future?

    Ive read and heard many interpretations but I'm wondering about yours. If we truly can change our ways, then the future is not determined until we make our choice, and therefore God cannot know. If God knows our choice, then we have no
    choice, and from where come responsibility?

    What other explanation? Creatures that 'evolved differently?'
    This assumes you have the worldview that man evolved and
    wasn't created...

    I may not see eye to eye with Jcurtis on everything, but I
    agree with this point too. There is no proof that they
    come from another planet, but they do come from 'not on
    this earth.'

    You sound like my son. :-) He calls it the illusion of choice.

    Personally, I see it as God is outside of time, space and
    matter. Therefore He is the same yesterday, today and
    tomorrow.

    You and I don't know what will happen tomorrow, nor what
    decisions we will make, but He does. Does this mean we
    don't have a choice? Not at all! From our perspective,
    we haven't made the choice yet. But from His perspective,
    it's already happened.

    So if it's 'already happened' how can it change? It can't.
    So how can it be a choice? Because TO US it hasn't been
    made yet.

    Foreknowledge is NOT the say as predestination. If God
    DECIDED for us, we would have no choice. But He doesn't
    decide for us, but He does KNOW what we are going to
    choose.


    ... Does fuzzy logic tickle?

    I just don't know why we'd assume that extraterrestrials are angels & demons. I mean, we humans aren't angels & demons. Why would beings from another planet be?

    And if you believe in evolution, naturally they'd have evolved differently on another planet. Or if you believe in creation, they'd be another one of God's creations.

    Prophecy guides us to life. We are not puppets. Maybe it bothers
    atheists but I don't see a problem.
