Is man alone in the universe? If not, is he the only one needing redemption?
SMOKE BUT NO MIRRORS
I was eleven years, and eleven days old and visiting my aunt and uncle in Redding, Connecticut. My father called me over to see something. There was no object visible in the sky, just blue, gray smoke coming off of whatever it was, at about airliner altitude and speed.
Some 20 years later I was watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries concerning a ‘UFO’ that landed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania on December 2, 1965. It was what I saw, but there was more:
1. It was seen across New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Following witness reports, it made several turns before landing south of Pittsburgh.
2. A firefighter found it in the woods for the military, who promptly told him to leave. There were numerous other witnesses who knew something landed.
3. Article photo is of a model built for the TV show based on what he saw, including the glyphs on the base,
4. There was no parachute, scorch mark or depression left. This appears all way above our technology, even today.
ARE E.T.’s REDEEMED?
If other biologically based sentient beings exist besides humans, questions arise in regards to faith.
1. Did they fall and if they did are they redeemed?
2. Are they redeemed by our Jesus, or did they get one of their own?
3. Are they instead demons trying to mislead us?
I suggest an alternate possibility. In the Bible, 1/3 of angels rebel and are thrown down to Earth. Everyone assumes that the other 2/3 say yes to God. Perhaps there was a ‘not sure’ category. Perhaps as the Bible says, they were ‘lukewarm’. Logically they were placed in cosmic purgatory somewhere else besides the Earth. Let’s just say they are doing penance by attempting to help mankind in a less than perfect way. They cannot create life, but can manipulate matter. That may be why alien autopsies show rudimentary, nonfunctional organ systems. Rest assured that the demons are using similar tactics, making for a complex picture. God not only works evil for the good, but also the less than perfect good, unlike the angels that said yes to God, who do His will perfectly.
MY WAY OR….
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways above your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
Isaiah Chapter 55,8-9
People of the Bible understood that the distance to the heavens was nearly unfathomable. Now, as advanced as we are, they are still unfathomable.
Perhaps the logical idea that with the vastness of the cosmos, there must be other life in the universe was precisely set up by God to test our faith in numerous ways.
