No credible evidence for either, so zero.

Me and you have talked sveral times of this. Again I stand at the fact that I believe that "ufo's" or "Aliens" are fallen angles. I believe that they might have a role in endtimes but if any a small role.

God Bless,
NC

I suppose it all depends on if we discover that time travel is possible or not.
Could be we make a discovery later in the future and come back to tell us all about it.

The way technology is moving at the speed af light lately, i tend to believe that anything we think is impossible today could be a possibility tomorrow.

One of the greatest gifts God gave man was to be creative. So I guess it depends on us whether there will be Aliens and UFO's.

you never know...

I think Bible prophecy has to do with God's plan of salvation not with spaceships and encounters with extraterrestrial life. #Beammeup-alien

It's always a good idea to be grounded in soteriology before trying to become an expert on eschatology.

Well as far as I know the bible only specifies an apocalypse on Earth, so aliens and UFOs will probably be fine, unless they're unfortunate enough to be on earth when it finally apocalyzes (<-make up words for good health; its fun).

I agree with NC -
A friend of mine has this idea that all of the unexplained phenomenon such as Bigfoot, Nessie, UFOs, Chupakabra, Ghosts, are all connected with fallen angels somehow. That is one of those things we can theorize on but never really believe. I could see this explanation because it makes more sense to those of us who focus on faith issues. After all the Bible does say that satan is a liar. These would all be worthy tools to keep people distracted away from the gospel. I have often wondered if you one were to tabulate the number of Christians who have seen such creatures and the number of non-Christians who have also seen them - would there be a difference? If this theory were hypathetically true - I would have to guess that the majority of those who see such things are non-Christians; not non-Christian in the sense that they dont profess it or deny it, but non-Christians truly in thier heart and in thier walk. There's lots of those who CALL themselves Christians, but that is a whole nother story.
Just some thought - Tim

I can see it now on Jack Van Impe's question of the week:

"Jack, what do recent sightings of Sasquatch tell us about the nearness of Christ's return?"

Be careful guys and gals. The Bible says there will be mockers during the end-times.

May God bless, golfjack

Yeah, but there have always been those that mock the apocalyptic. They've always been right. Therefore?

In the context, golfjack, Peter was talking about contemporaries of his who were scoffers. I think they were proven wrong, and Peter's eschatological expectations (not the same as many of our modern apocalyptic ideas) were fulfilled.

Zathurs, You are right about scoffers, and they still exist, and always will until Jesus comes again. It is pretty ridiculous to think that Jesus has already come again. No Biblical support for this. Suggest you read the rest of 2 Peter 3.

May God bless, golfjack
