We are hearing much about alien sightings and little grey men with large heads and eyes, long thumbs, but does this fit the description of God we read about in the Bible? I have pondered in the Spirit about what is behind the clouds that are spoken of in scripture, how Jesus ascended into a cloud, the cloud let the children of Israel in the desert, the clouds around the mountain when Moses went up and I even believe that Ezek. describes God coming in what appears to be a vehicle. While I know that there can be no knowledge of such things without it originating from God first... was it for us to have? Are we supposed to be venturing into outer space where God dwells or are we supposed to be having dominion of only the earth As God SAID? I look at the type of people who are creating these things and at our technology that has taken our children out of the natural elements such as playing out doors enjoying God's creation and growing up in social atmospheres with other children.. to being couch potatoes becoming totally disconnected with their family, worshipping their technology in video games that numbs them to blood guts and gore, tell-a-vision that reveals to them and glorifies(temptations) the same things such as sex, violence, mobsters, rape, molestation, drugs, fighting/war that if you do them will put you in jail, ruin your life, or kill you.
If you notice we are using our thumbs to text someone instead of actually having contact with them. Is this what the fallen angels taught man long ago and why the long thumbs?
I do not believe in evolving as atheist's who do not know God do, but I do believe that God gave us the ability to ADAPT to our environment and that does create changes in our bodies or creation itself such as animals, insects, land who have been moved from one environmental condition to another and had to morph in such a way to adapt to their surroundings or that way of life.

What I know is that if anything be it alien or known, along with those who support or believe in something that does not subject it's self to righteousness and Word of God, it is NOT of God for it is ANTI-CHRIST, regardless of it's knowledge which OBVIOUSLY originating from God for God created anything that is or was by His Word... but that does not give us the right to have it or desire this knowledge of good and evil when it is obviously destructive in our care. We are just babes compared to God and we should leave all knowledge that can destroy us when in the hands of man, alone.

So if these beings do not have followers who welcome's righteousness, holiness and adhere to the Word of Christ and promote the One True God in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost... then they are the fallen ones who promote lawlessness and the deterioration of man by feeding upon knowledge and not concerned with God's natural creation but THINGS, GADGETS, harmful in the hands of men. Yet I do know that the good angels of God do visit us as well and they too can come from space craft as in Ez. tells us of... but they must promote God and His Word to be for us, for God never changes and His Word is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Rev 11:18
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
KJV

The natural things in the earth are from God and He gave to us for our enjoyment... technology is ruining our environment, health, family and quality of life that God originally gave to us.
In the beginning we lived in paradise and did not have to work for it... but after the fall, we have to work and work for a year or so just to be able to take a vacation to VISIT what we call paradise for one week. We duped ourselves~ But it looks as if we have arrived again to the days of Noah when men have corrupted their ways when the fallen sons of God taught man things they should not know and we keep eating from the knowledge of good and evil.

God is alien to human understanding. He is seen as hostile and invasive by almost all of men...including many pew sitters.

It is obvious you did not read my post..
God is not alien to me.. is He alien to you? Sure He is not from earth but from the far country that I am of. So an alien is from a foreign country whom you are not familiar with.

Col 1:13
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
KJV
John 18:36
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
KJV
John 8:23
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
KJV
John 17:14
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
KJV
Isa 13:5
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
KJV

That is true that is why we are not to lean on our own understanding. He seems hostile because He is LOVE and love can not remain in the earth when there is evil so He must eliminate the evil.

Why is it obvious I did not read your post? You don't know that. You have just made a false statement...though I am sure you didn't mean to.

Your question, for this thread, is "Is God an alien?"

I simply answered that question. Did you just mean that as an attention grabber?

At any rate, your 1st paragraph refers to aliens apart from those from other countries, so, as you have made the analogy, don't be surprised by answers that may
be different from your expectations

Yes, I did have a little humor in mind when I answered...but it is still truth.

I did not mean to give a false accusation of you but your response was not at all pertaining to the content of my post which led me to believe you were either just being humorous or thought from the title that you were suppose to answer just the title and never read the content.
This was not intended to be a catchy title, nor was I really asking a question, but asking as in to think about if God was what we know as an alien from outer space as pertaining to sightings and should we be thinking that these are God or the fallen angels?

God is defined as "wholly other". Another way of saying that is God is completely "alien" to us in every conceivable manner, in form, in spirit, in essence. The only way we, as finite creatures, are capable of apprehending the "wholly otherness" of God is by His special revelation in Scripture. But that revelation of Himself is not exhaustive in any manner and any glimpse of His Holiness by no means makes Him any less "alien" to a Christians than it does an unrepentant sinner because our salvation is not contained within the pages of Scripture but within the person and work of Christ.

As to the rest of your diatribe against technology... I could not make heads or tales of it, nor do I wish to. Here's a good bit of advice for everyone: when you find a big pot of crazy, it's best not to stir.

I know you didn't which is why I stated I did not think you did so on purpose...just trying to point out that things sometimes get contentious in these here forums...or others as I do post in others...
when people assume things rather than ask questions. But I never thought you were being rude or anything...so that's ok

Well, I never ever think God is an alien or even alien. He made us in His image, so there has to be some sort of semblance and things were different before the falll...so,
I'm going with no God is not an alien.

God IS spirit as the Bible states...not a spirit as in one of many, but THE ONE AND ONLY. and no I do not postulate about so called alien siteings as being fallen angels as so many
do.

My take on those beliefs, is that (some) Christians seem to think they have to explain everything...their own version of apologetics no doubt...and so they theorize that the unexplainable
is a fallen angel playing hokey with our minds. I don't believe that.

Please do not take anything personal in my response...I am simply stating my own belief concerning your post. Thanks

I gotta agree with the techno part. I mean, when someone is using the very thing they rail against to make a point? well, my head seems to shake negative all of its own accord

You can use the comrade puter for good or bad. Like anything else. You can get up in the morning and sin all day long ... or not. You choice...wait! now I'm thinking of that
other thread on 'Free Will"...gaaaaaa

I'm amazed at the foolishness of fleshy thinking some have, especially those who think God and His angels are literally dwelling up in the earthly clouds somewhere. When God said the earth is His footstool, are we to also think one of His feet is literaly covering the earth, and the rest of His body extended way out in outer space reaching to other planets?

There's only two dimensions of existence written of in God's Holy Writ. This earthly one we live in is one, and it includes... the sky atmosphere around the earth making up the clouds. Those clouds are in this... material... earthly dimension of physical matter.

The other dimension is the Heavenly dimension, which is where God's Abode is. It is behind a veil, we cannot see it (unless He allows us to).

Heb 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(KJV)

The things (material matter) of this world which are seen were not made of things which appear (matter that we see). In other words, material matter did not create itself. The only other origin it could have is from The Invisible God Who is not made up of material matter, but is a Spirit (John 4:24). That's why this earthly dimension is made up of material matter and the Heavenly dimension is made up of Spirit, i.e., two distinct and separate operations and realms. Without understanding this about 1/3 of God's Word won't be properly understood.

There are no space aliens. That's man's idea. But there are angels from the other dimension, and they can manifest upon the earth, and have done so with the image of man.
