Is there such a thing as aliens or UFOs?
Great question! Here's the answer:
No, aliens and UFOs are not real, but angels and demons are.
Aliens are said to be beings from other planets. UFO is an abbreviation for "Unidentified Flying Object." In other words, UFOs are the vehicles that aliens use to get around the galaxies. While aliens and UFOs sound exciting, there is no biblical support for them.
Science seems to attest to other life forms outside of our planet; however, we cannot discount the work of Satan and his demons (2 Corinthians 4:4). Any alien encounter or UFO spotting could be a trick from the devil to distract people from God. Rather than getting involved with aliens or UFOs, we need to study the truth of the Bible.
Bible Truth
“Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all” (1 Timothy 1:15).
“You belong to your father, the devil. You want to obey your father’s wishes. From the beginning, the devil was a murderer. He has never obeyed the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his natural language. He does this because he is a liar. He is the father of lies” (John 8:44).
“That comes as no surprise. Even Satan himself pretends to be an angel of light. So it doesn’t surprise us that Satan’s servants also pretend to be serving God. They will finally get exactly what they deserve” (2 Corinthians 11:14–15).
