Interesting. I agree with everything except saying God bless you and UFOs. I do believe UFOs exist, I just don't think aliens are behind them. And saying God bless you, how can
that be of the occult?
Glad someone asked!!!
The term.........."God bless you" comes from the 1st century and is rooted in "superstition"! It originated withe the Druids and was their belief that a sneeze is the body trying to rid itself of evil spirits. THEY thought that the heart stops beating when a person sneezes, or the fear that a sneeze somehow opens the body to evil spirits. In these cases, saying, “God bless you,” was a kind of protection or good luck charm that shielded the sneezer from being invaded by spirits or affected by evil.
As believers in Christ, we do not believe in LUCK but in the providential care of God.
Fact:
During the Black Plague that occurred in Italy in AD 590, sneezing was thought to be, a sign that someone was getting sick with the plague. There is a legend that Pope Gregory I commanded that, any time a sneeze was heard, the sneezer was to be blessed by saying, “God bless you,” (and making the sign of the cross over his mouth) as protection against the plague. Could that have been the origination of "makeing the sign of the cross"????
Again, there is no biblical validity to such superstition. At the same time, there is no biblical reason to believe it is sinful to bless someone after a sneeze—just adding to your information.
UFO's...........That another proposition.
Personally....I have NO clue but my opinion is NO there are NO UFO's. I say that because I am old enough to remember that NO ONE mentioned UFO"S until TV and movies and Sci-Fi writers became to tell us that there were those things.
FACT:
To date there is no nut, bolt, spaceship, carcass, or transmission to provide any proof that ETI exists.!!!!
FACT:
“Project Blue Book.” The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was terminated on 17 December 1969. Of the 12,618 sightings reported, 11,917 (94 percent) were solved. The conclusions of the study were:
(1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever a threat to our national security;
(2) there was no evidence submitted to, or discovered by, the USAF that sightings categorized as “unidentified” represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and
(3)
there was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as “unidentified” were extraterrestrial vehicles.
FACT:
ROSWELL N.M is proof!!!
No doubt, something did crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947. A little investigative work, however, reveals that although there was a crash and a military cover-up, this does not prove extraterrestrial involvement. Today, we know that the “crash” was actually the debris of a downed balloon for a top-secret military project referred to as “Project Mogul” from nearby White Sands, New Mexico. It was a pre-U-2 attempt to spy on Soviet Russia to ascertain their nuclear capabilities. This prompted the initial controversy and suspicion since the Air Force couldn’t reveal the details of the incident at the time and consequently reported that it was just the debris of a “weather balloon,” and nothing more.
FACT:
The Bible does not refer to intelligent life on other planets. The focus of the Bible, instead, is on humanity’s need for redemption. When Jesus commissioned the disciples to preach the good news, He directed them to spread the gospel to the “uttermost parts of the
earth” (emphasis added), not to the uttermost regions of the galaxy or universe (see Acts 1:8). One doesn’t have to read between the lines to understand that God has a great interest in people on earth, whereas we have no specific revelation demonstrating God’s interest in intelligent life outside of Earth.
Since you broght it up, allow me say that Due to the paranormal attributes of many UFO encounters, it can be logically argued that some supernaturally devious activity exists within the UFO phenomenon. Just take a minute and THINK about..................
Evil Encounters. Speaking generally, UFO abduction encounters are not pleasant and wholesome experiences. For the most part, they are nightmarish events that often plague victims for years, if not for the rest of their lives. These abduction encounters are obviously not the work of benign and benevolent “space brothers.”
False Prophets. The aliens consistently proclaim a different gospel. The religion of these beings is typically a version of Eastern mysticism or New Age philosophy, which is, in actuality, very old — so old, that it goes back to the Garden of Eden with the temptation to “be like God” (Gen. 3:5). Paul warned the church in Galatia to beware of false teachings regardless of how impressive the source might be. “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!” (Gal. 1: 8).
There have been numerous reports of contact with aliens, and yet none thus far has acknowledged Jesus Christ as
the Son of God.
(If you know of any, please write and let me know about it.) They always sanction various Eastern and New Age groups instead as their official spokespersons. A significant percentage of all alleged contactees have admitted to being involved in some form of occult beliefs or practices. It is therefore reasonable to presume that in some cases a spiritual dimension is within the UFO phenomenon, and it is obviously outside the presence, activity, and authority of the Holy Spirit.
