I'll tell you....once the world gets on a trend, it spreads until you hear almost everyone talking about it, and hyping it up. For a good few years now, I've been hearing about these "UFOs." {Or, supposed UFOs.} And I hear them give scientific "facts" about, they "proved" it was no hoax, everything bears out that the people really saw a UFO. I would wonder about what was happening as compared to the Bible, but then I read other Christians comment on this "phenomenon" and they say {which I tend to agree with} that this is just another Satanic deception. I would agree, because notice that these "sightings" just popped up in what is likely the last days? And God has us as His messengers, I never read anything about UFOs bridging the gap. {Also, they haven't said anything in a witnessing sense. On the other hand, what affect I HAVE seen them have on the unsaved is that the unsaved state that the "aliens" will save humanity, instead of saying God will.} Also, the ones who "hype this up" are usually atheists, who dismiss God's existence, yet believe in UFOs. {Like my Christian-hating aunt, who always speaks hate against Christians, yet puts her faith in these UFOs.} So I would think this is just another Satanic deception, so as to mislead. Do you think?

Another deception?
- Thread starter Steven Bobb

I heard UFOs are angels sent by God to warn people to repent from their sins and come to Jesus. Some have seen them inside their cars while others have seen them on top of trees. I do not know if they are deception comments or something that really happened. All I know is this. Jesus is coming soon and want all who believe in Him, be prepared for His arrival.

Unidentified Flying Objects are real ###. Isn't it possible that we as a human race are making unidentified flying objects today? The Bible states that there is nothing new under the Son. We as humans find ancient civilizations that were destroyed by the flood of Noah's day and think that aliens built them yet those things are proof of God destroying the Earth with a flood. Have we caught up with the technologies that existed prior to the flood? If there is nothing new under the Son, I don't believe we will catch up prior to the day of Christ returning for judgment day. Not that the devil can't fool others as well, yet do we not realize that our Heavenly Father wants others deceived and looking for reasons not to follow Jesus by doing Christ's teachings and instructions?

I didn't mean deception as in optical illusions that are not real, I mean maybe a smokescreen by the devil to mislead. {And yes, the point about God allowing deception if some sell out to it. 2 Thessalonians, "Whose coming {the Antichrist} is with all lying signs and wonders and deceivableness in those that perish, because they believed not the love of the Truth that they might be saved, but took pleasure in unrighteousness. Therefore God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie." Also, "because they retained not God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind." Also, God hardened Pharaoh's heart. So yes, sometimes it's God Himself doing this.

The devil is a tool of God's just as we are His hands and His feet. The devil can do no more and no less than the Father desires of him. Everything is and was created by the Father for His pleasure and He is the One that gives the wisdom and abilities we have to create or form things as well

Good example of what you said is with Job. God gave him the go-ahead, but limited. 2}The devils disciples can perform miracles up to a point, like we read about the False Prophet in Revelation--"And it was granted him to perform great wonders before the beast who had the mortal wound but was healed, so that he even makes fire come down from Heaven to Earth in the sight of men."The devil is a tool of God's just as we are His hands and His feet. The devil can do no more and no less than the Father desires of him. Everything is and was created by the Father for His pleasure and He is the One that gives the wisdom and abilities we have to create or form things as well

Well sure, because we have the gift of discernment. The unsaved are the ones not realizing that these "wonders" are from the wrong source. "And all the Earth followed after the beast {who?} the next sentence explains who, "the name of not one who is written in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world."No worries buddy, we have power over the devil through the Name Jesus

I've heard it said (mainly by the world, but even by some supposed Christians who want to "do their own thing") that, when shown in Scripture that certain actions and behaviors are wrong, they say "Well that was appropriate for the culture back then, things have changed, we've evolved and become...
I keep hearing from so many people that you create your own reality with your thoughts. Those who are blessed, are blessing themselves with their thoughts (no credit to God), and those facing judgment for things are cursing themselves. They omit God, and gain a sense of power by proclaiming...

Though the devil has many devices, he is not very creative. It's always the same old tired lie: "God is withholding something good from you."
