UFO's

The acronym UFO stands for ‘Unidentified Flying Object.’ The entertainment industry enthralled with UFO and aliens (extra-terrestrial beings from ‘out there’) has generated many science fiction speculations. There have been numerous alleged accounts of so-called sightings and even interaction or ‘close encounters’ with these visitors from outer space. However, neither the Bible nor scientific evidence indicate such phenomena as UFO’s nor aliens exist and it is possible these occurrences are the work of evil spirits. Therefore, while strange and inexplicable things take place, there is no reason, to attribute these phenomena to these un-proven causes

As believers we should be focused on more profitable and beneficial things than “foolish and stupid arguments” that result in to conspiracy theories (2 Tim 2:23). It is plausible the “powerful delusion” the Bible speaks of will involve an alien-abduction theory to explain away the rapture (2 Thes 2:11).

Some versions of the Bible use the word alien referring to foreigners, strangers or outcasts but not extra-terrestrial beings (Eph 2:12; 1 Pet 2:10-12).
