The Bible speaks about spirit beings who while being evil, at times appear
unto men as angels of light. God warnes us not to dabble in the occult.
The Bible states that there are angels(spirits that serve God), and demons
(spirits which rebelled against God). Demon spirits at times appear to
men in different forms. When they appear unto men they are never for their
good.Ie their main motives upon the earth are to subtilly turn humans from
"New" ideas supposedly given by UFO's or angels, always go against the
clear and true Word of God which is found in the Bible.
The Bible is your only defense in terms of knowing the good from the evil.
Don't be fooled. Spirits are very subtle.

]So, your saying that demons are trying to turn us away from UFOs and such? In
that case is god trying to let us learn from UFOs?

The problem is that the Bible was written many centuries ago and has been
filtered by translation several times. So it is incredibly difficult to get
at the original true meaning (the counter argument would be that God had the
Bible written to always be clear and timely, which is still hard to interpret
without "professional" help of a minister/priest/etc.). So whether UFO's are
good or bad (or just neutral, or in need of enlightenment, etc.) is largely
a matter of interpretation of the Bible rather than having a chapter devoted
to UFO's.

an additional problem, even if you could get the 'original edition' of the
Bible and read it in the original language, would be the cultural distance
between us and the author/authors of the Bible, making it easy to misinterpret

Yeah. The Bible is even harder to pin down than the Constitution. ;)

I *have* a Bible, and one of these days I might do some analysis of it. I
grew up with an ordained minister for a father (who had already joined the
private sector after deciding religion wasn't that great a career), so I can
do some pretty good commentary on Christianity & how it works...

Even if you read the origanal bible, there were so many authors you couldn't
get a clear picture, so it is very easy to misinterpret.
