Book of aliens book of demons7/28/2023 Important Things for Christians to Know about Aliens I would question that if someone thought an alien was a demonic being, that maybe it is just a demonic being and not an alien at all. Someone could have become aware of a spiritual being and determined that it was an alien. It is undeniable that there is spiritual activity in our world ( i.e., Ephesians 6, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Romans 8:37-39). Perhaps someone has used the term alien before when encountering a demonic or angelic being? The spiritual realm is very present throughout the Scriptures. However, I believe that the lack of Scriptural support deems that theory highly unlikely. If for some reason God made aliens somewhere else, then that is up to His sovereignty. The Bible is God-breathed and useful to us. Does the Existence of Aliens Negate the Truth of Christianity?Įxistence of aliens would not negate the truth of Christianity. However, the main point is that we know that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. I would imagine that they would be more like angelic beings or spiritual beings. We can know though that if there are aliens or life somewhere on another planet, we can trust God. However, biblically the idea of extraterrestrials is not supported. It is okay to have wonder and curiosity and to seek the Bible. I would be cautious believing in the concept of aliens, just because it distracts from the greater mystery with solid evidence of God the Creator. However, it could very much be man-made creativity. Just because we read books about them or see movies with them, it does not mean that it is a God-given reality. In my mind, an alien is therefore no different from an elf, mermaid, or fairy. Everything in our universe is lined up to where only our planet has proven to be sustainable for life. The Lord intentionally created planet earth to sustain life. When we focus on how humanity was formed in the image of God and how there is a story woven through the history of redemption, aliens seem like a manmade thought. However, when we look at Scripture about God loving the world and sending His Son to die for the world, it can lead to the viewpoint that there is no life on other planets apart from the world that the Lord originally made. There is a lot of speculation about extraterrestrials. He is the Creator of all things ( Colossians 1:16). So from a Christian standpoint, if an alien existed, it would only be because the Lord created it. As believers, we know that God created the heavens and the earth ( Genesis 1:1). Where scientists have discovered bones in archeological digs, there have never been alien remains on earth. The problem with believing in aliens is that there is truly no concrete evidence that they have ever existed. Whitney Hopler from Crosswalk shares, " Job 38:4-7 reports that extraterrestrial life (which God describes as “morning stars”) celebrated with joy when the Earth is created, but those extraterrestrials are likely angels.” Dinosaurs could have been destroyed in the flood. This would make sense because the book of Job is actually after Genesis 12 in chronological order. Job 40:15-24 and Job 41 describe what can be interpreted as dinosaurs. For example, one might argue that the Bible does not directly tell of dinosaurs, but we know they existed. Since God does not include information on aliens, it is hard to say that they exist. As a believer, the Scriptures anchor me in every area and belief in life. Other than these references of the word alien, there is no mention of an actual alien in the entire Bible. The word alienate or alienated shows up four times in Scripture. The word alien appears in Isaiah 28:21, referring to a task. Every time that you see the actual word alien or alienated in Scripture, it is referring to foreigner or outcasts, not an extraterrestrial.
