Extraterrestrial, Alien Life, our brothers?
The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory has said the following...
“How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere? Just as we consider earthly creatures as “a brother,” and “sister,” why should we not talk about an “extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation.”
Funes went on to say that this...”doesn't contradict our faith” because aliens would still be God's creatures.”
Well, what do you think?
Here is what the Bible, the very Word of God says.
Ephesians 6:12 NLT “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against
Evil Rulers and
Authorities of the unseen world, against
Mighty Powers in this dark world, and against
Evil Spirits in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
Principalities, against
Powers, against the
Rulers of the darkness of this world, against
Spiritual Wickedness in high places.
Sinful man does not realize that humanity is in a spiritual war!
Man is not alone, and never was.
God did create other beings than man, the angels.
They were created before man.
Lucifer a angel of high rank, fell under pride.
When he fell he did not go alone.
Revelation 12:3,4 KJV
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
This text speaks of the angels he caused to sin with him. (1/3 of all the known angels.)
Well where are they all today?
II Peter 2:4 KJV “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;”
Jude 6 “ And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”
Unfortunately that is not the end of the story.
Our world is filled with “evil spirits, demons.”
What has been the place of their origin, the Bible is silent, but that they are here is certain.
Matthew 8:28-33 KJV
[28] And when He was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
[29] And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
[30] And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
[31] So the devils besought Him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
[32] And He said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
[33] And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
James 2:19 KJV
“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”
Revelation 16:13,14 KJV
[13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), and out of the mouth of the beast (The Anti-Christ), and out of the mouth of the false prophet(World religious leader).
[14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Are all evil workers locked under chains, no!
One has only to read the New Testament and to read of evil spirits being cast out, to know, that there are many evil entities in the spiritual realm that roam earth.
Demons, evil spirits, they....
Tempt to disobedience (Gen. 3:4)
Slander the saints (Job 1:9-11)
Inflict disease (Job 2:7)
Oppose the Righteous (Zechariah 3:1)
Tempted Christ (Matthew 4:1)
Take away the “good seed” of the gospel (Matthew 13:19)
Sow Tares (Matthew 13:38)
Ruin, body and soul (Luke 9:42)
Lie (John 8:44)
Cause men to sin (John 13:2)
Prey upon mankind (I Peter 5:8)
Etc.
Warning!
Hebrews 13:2 KJV
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Angels have the ability, among other things, to take on the form of a man.
If this is true of good angels, it certainly is true of evil spirits as well.
Are these beings, our brothers?
Absolutely not!
As we saw above in Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul mentions at least four categories of evil spirits.
Principalities, against
Powers, against the
Rulers of the darkness of this world, against
Spiritual Wickedness in high places.
If someone knocked on the door to your house at 2:00 in the morning, saying it was an old friend come to see you......would you open the door?
Certainly not!
Most, would, never be that gullible.
And yet, thousands upon thousands are playing with ouija boards, channeling, etc...with spirits, who they cannot see or know, and yet believing everything they hear.
If an alien, were to come to this world claiming to be one of our lost brothers?
What would you believe?
I John 2:18 KJV
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
I John 4:1-3 KJV
[1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
II John 7
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
II Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Matthew 24:23-26 KJV
[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Ephesians 2:2 KJV “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: “
II Thessalonians 2:9 KJV
“Even him (the anti-christ), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, “
II Corinthians 4:3,4 KJV
[3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
[4] In whom the god of this world (satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Warning!
I Peter 5:8 KJV
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
James 4:7-10 KJV
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[8] Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.
Romans 13:11-14 KJV
[11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
[12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
[13] Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
[14] But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
