UFOs

[Faith]

​

Hi,

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this yet or not but on The Nightly News they said NASA is going to be doing an investigation to determine what all these UFOs actually are. Somebody interviewed on tv (I didn’t catch his name or position but I think he might’ve been from NASA), a man in some type of authority, replied “I don’t know” when asked if there could be extraterrestrials.
What if there are? Does that conflict or contradict any teaching of the LCMS? I don’t see anything in the Bible that would contradict ETs but I have read from people who insist this contradicts Christianity.

Probably the next hoax the government will use to instill fear in the masses so they can further take away our freedoms.

I think you meant to say "the next danger the government will seek to protect us from", comrade....

I just remembered that I posted something similar about a year ago, based on the same show

UFO = UNIDENTIFIED flying object. It doesn't mean "Flying machine carrying aliens from another planet."


As I understand it, the original "Project Blue Book" was motivated by the possibility that the Soviet's had Nazi secrets regarding flight and weapons, and the POSSIBILITY that what was being seen MIGHT be such. After many years, they concluded that was not the case. I'm not sure there ever was a focus on little green men from Mars (although perhaps they kept that possibility an option).

I suspect the same is happening now. Military research continues... the US may well fear that the Russians have weapons unknown to us.


Lutheranism has no position on little green men from Mars.... pro or con. The Lutheran Confessions never mention them. There has not even been a synodical resolution regarding such. And as far as I know, the Bible never once mentions anything about life ONLY being on Earth or life being present OTHER than on Earth. Angels.... Heaven and Hell.... but not planets. So it seems there is silence - both in Scripture and in Lutheranism.

The possiblity of a human-devised flying machine is always present, but I suspect many of the UFOs and certainly the alien encounters are in fact demons messing with people.

I do say hoax because I highly doubt that this is on (or would advance to) a level that would warrant a national emergency.

I would think that if there were ETs, they would’ve been seen by a credible witness by now. But I still wonder….
And I don’t think that they’re demons, I think something is out there flying around, just not demons or little green men. IMO.

I still don’t believe we’re being invaded by demons. But IF we are, then what?

I would not call it an invasion. They are just playing with peoples' heads and those who seek them may get a more of it.

Ok, say you’re right, then what?

We should put on the full armor of God. Here is a good article about demons, what they can do, and how to resist them.

What Does the Bible Say About Demons?

The Bible tells us that demons are fallen angels who joined Satan in his rebellion against God and who were defeated and cast out of heaven along with Satan (Revelation 12:7-9). Demons continue to serve the devil in his attempt to lead the world away from God and into sin. Jesus will ultimately...

No, I mean then what with regards to the LCMS? Does it contradict its teachings?

Oh sorry, I got off track. Not sure if this helps but an article on alien life in the LCMS' Lutheran Witness, 2017:

The Gospel and Little Green Men – The Lutheran Witness

Are there green and purple extraterrestrials out there?

Thanks!

Also the second comment below the article, by Carl Vehse, is interesting.
