Well you said "do I get a pass on this" So im not sure what you meant by that, but it implies that you are forced to read it However if you like you can read my previous post ( the long one) in which I attempt to make the connection of god to our world, and how both sides of the argument may be correct.

you find it difficult to believe that they, whatever they are, may have a use for this world? is it odd that we have a use for the sun, or this world, or bees, or horses and cows, or electricity, or information, etc. etc.?

i meant in matters of humans as a whole on this planet,,. it seems to me there is a conspiracy that benefits an elite minority, and leaves the rest in conflict, slavery, confusion, powerless, poisoned etc.
with the overlying mind being the direction of our species,., total input to accomplish total output and establishment of order.., this planet is the biggest mess, in the time of most achievement, understanding, and ability.edit on 27-1-2012 by ImaFungi because: (no reason given)

sorry, what i was trying to say was; if i do not believe in the christian God and all of the Revelations in the christian bible do i get a "pass" on Armageddon and fallen angels and Satan. God has not shown himself to me yet so i am still skeptical on his existence.

You can appreciate how extensive the ET/Ufology/alien media has become, it's a minefield. But if one limits their search on any subject to a predefined opinion, and refuse to read the opposite, one can miss the truth.
Of course...a stagnant, poisoned, hoax riddle crap fest.
That's what it's become.
I look at all possibilities and consider most angles and viewpoints.
Inter-Dimensional, Time Travellers, Extra-Terrestrial....
But Fallen Angels made by "God" and god as in the Biblical God..... that's pretty much where my mind closes.
Sorry to not be as amazingly open minded as you.... don't leave your mind too open though, your brain might just fall out.
If one is going to insist that UFOs are extraterrestrial craft, then one will simply ignore any alternative viewpoint. But is this wise?
No... UFOs are objects which at first cannot be identified.
After analysis, most UFOs become IFOs and the very small percentage that don't...are the one's that anyone serious about this stuff should be interested in.
With all the hoaxes and YT vids, it's become nigh on impossible to get decent threads and info.
But yes... I know.... God did it.
As a Christian, I'm on that dark road holding up a sign for you, waving frantically that I get your attention to tell you that one of Satan's jobs is to blind people through how they think... Do you see me?
Hold on... I think I see you there... you're the crazy guy eating his own excrement, praying to your invisible friend and judging people.
I chose the other path.
You looked a bit mental.

I hold somewhat similar beliefs after being a "sit on the fence" person, neither denying or accepting God. Then it all changed.
I used to believe in UFOs, thought they were definitely extraterrestrial.
Then my mind switched, I knew instinctively that they were not because as God promises, only those who choose to believe the lies and not seek Him, are blinded.
Having said all this, I am still on the fence as far as actual physical "critters". Here's my line of thought, and as it's something that you no doubt have thought about, I'd appreciate your viewpoint.
I'll summarise
- Fallen Angels had physical bodies obviously, because they mated with the daughters of men, producing hybrid Nephiliam offspring.
- These were killed in the Flood, but the Bible says that they existed after the flood as well, but not whether this was a physical or spiritual existence.
- The Book of Enoch states that they all died in the flood, but that the Nephiliam lived afterwards as "evil spirits/demons".
- post flood, it is a spiritual war - around and in our physical world causing the conflict and bloodshed that is always present.
Christ's redeemed are to preach the gospel to ensure generations of saved individuals for the Kingdom of God.

- Satan knows how it ends, but still never ceases to try and stop humanity from the inheritance given to the redeemed. He keeps the perishing blinded to the gospel through control of their mind (thoughts and beliefs) and he tries to keep the saved from gaining more ground by saving souls for the Kingdom of God. He can't do anything to them except for what God allows.
What I'm getting at is this - no where in scripture does it tell us that there are "critters".
We are told that it will be "as the days of Noah", but that could just refer to the level of wickedness.
We are told repeatedly throughout the New Testament that it is a spiritual war for the mind, that man's doctrine is used by Satan to blind those who are perishing through beliefs - Atheism, materialism, pleasures, sin, false church doctrines etc etc. Propaganda is effective on the mind.
And because the mind craves carnal pleasures, Satan has transformed the USA and other "Christian" countries into a den of pleasures in direct opposition to God. Many today vehemently support pornography and sodomy as perfectly healthy, normal and something to be enjoyed. The 1963 Congressional Record contains a list of 45 steps to communism - and all deal with changing opinion and thoughts....
