Of course our Sunday morning service is at 1030 Sunday evening at 5pm
and then we have our Thursday night Bible study at 7 o'clock. We are currently going
through the book of Matthew and so hope to see you during our midweek
service there. We are a family integrated church and so infants and
children stay with their parents in the service. We don't have Sunday school classes or
nurseries. However for your convenience there is a mother baby room located in the back
of the building if your child needs some diversion. There are changing
tables available as well. So if the children kind of get out of hand during the service
and they start crying or throwing a little fit or maybe they just need to be distracted a little bit
you can utilize those rooms and come back in at your discretion
and so there are screens and speakers available in there as well so you can still tune in to the
preaching. And then happy birthday to all of those
in August. So whose birthday is in August? Raise your hand.
We got one right here, one right there, there. What else? One right there.
All right we got quite a bit in August. All right
let's go ahead and sing happy birthday to those
in August. Ready here we go. Happy birthday
to you. Happy birthday
God bless you.
Happy birthday to you.
All right. Hope you enjoyed those
healthy donuts outside for those of you who came
today and then you see the soul winning teams and times. We added some new soul winning times there.
You can look over that and get in contact with brother Ulysses if you would like to participate
in those areas. You see the list of expecting mothers continue to pray
for them. And we have a special announcement here for Miss Olivia
due to health issues that are dangerous for both Olivia and the baby.
Olivia Lee is scheduled for a c-section on Friday. The baby will
only be 32 weeks and will have an extended stay in the NICU.
We would like to be a blessing by providing gift cards or
monetary gifts that they can use while Olivia and the baby are recovering.
So please talk to Miss Tamara Brash to sign up via mealtrain.com
And so please keep them in prayer. Keep her and the baby in prayer and of course
brother John as well. And of course this is a difficult time for them so if you can pray
for them and if you can be a blessing to them I'm sure they would appreciate it.
Miss Tamara where is she? Is she here? She's not even here yet right?
Well if she's not here we need someone else to talk. Brother Miss Sarah my wife
so raise your hand my wife. You can talk to her and so
if you have any questions about that. And then the important reminders there at the bottom please
make sure you're supervising your children in the building. No children should be in the mother-baby room
alone without their parents. And of course no men allowed in the mother-baby room or in the
women's fellowship restroom. Men if you need to take your children out if you have diaper duty
or something the restroom right here the men's restroom has a changing table
and you can utilize the foyer if you need to step out for a little bit as well. The upcoming
church events TJ Solany tomorrow
so we're going to Mexico tomorrow and if you would like to participate
in that by the way you have to speak Spanish I don't know if you know that.
It's Mexico so if you would like to participate in that and you speak Spanish
we would invite you to come we're going to meet at the building here at 9 am
we're going to head over there have lunch go sowing and have some
delicious tacos as well okay which is a great incentive
to go to TJ so you know if you don't really feel like going to preach the gospel
I'm going to use carnal means to reel you in which is they add good tacos
and Mexican coke and so coca-cola I mean okay I got to
clarify that and it's important to clarify these days
so we're going to meet here at 9 am if you have any questions about that you can see brother
Ulysses and brother Glenn actually went to TJ with
the group and he had a lot of success there I believe about 15 people got saved
and so lord willing we'll see a great harvest of souls tomorrow be in prayer
for us and then the whole fast sowing marathon is this Saturday
August 12th the church van will be leaving at 5 am
promptly brother Glenn is going to be heading that up and I'll be there as
well we want to make it to the Saturday morning
preaching at 10 am pastor Aaron Thompson is going to be preaching and then we're going to be
sowing thereafter and so if you'd like to be a part of that you can see brother Glenn or brother Ulysses
Hernandez for more details ladies prayer breakfast is coming up on Saturday August 12th
and a meal will also be provided of course during that
time and you can see miss Janelle Gonzalez regarding that she heads that
up for the ladies prayer breakfast no food or drink allowed in the main auditorium
except for water and coffee make sure you're not loitering in the four year fellowship hall
during the preaching service and then quiet time this afternoon is from 3 pm
to 4.15 and please please please please make sure you silence your phones
during the preaching so as to not be a distraction during the
service and that is all let's go ahead and sing our next song 152

you can turn your bibles to proverbs chapter number 14
piano
morning proverbs chapter number 14 the bible reads
every wise woman buildeth her house but the foolish plucketh it down with their
hands he that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord but he that is
perverse in his ways despiseth him in the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride
but the lips of the wise shall preserve them where no oxen are the crib is
clean but much increase is by the strength of the ox a faithful
witness will not lie but a false witness will utter lies a scorner seeketh
wisdom and findeth it not but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth
go from the presence of a foolish man when I perceive is not in him the lips of knowledge
the wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way but the folly of fools is
deceit fools make a mock at sin but among the righteous there
is favor the heart knoweth his own bitterness and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy
the house of the wicked shall be overthrown but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish
there is a way which seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof
are the ways of death even in laughter the heart is sorrowful and the end of that
mirth is heaviness the backslider in heart shall be filled with his own
ways and a good man shall be satisfied from himself the simple believeth
every word but the prudent man looketh well to his going a wise man
feareth and departeth from evil but the fool rageth and is confident
he that is soon angry dealeth foolishly and a man of wicked devices is hated
the simple inherit folly but the prudent are crowned with knowledge
the evil bow before the good and the wicked at the gates of the righteous
the poor is hated even of his own neighbor but the rich hath many friends
he that despiseth his neighbor sinneth but he that hath mercy on the poor
happy is he do they not earther devise evil but mercy and truth
shall be to them to devise good in all labor there is profit but the talk of the
lips tendeth only to penury the crown of the wise is their riches but the foolishness
of fools is folly a true witness delivereth souls but a deceitful witness
speaketh lies and the fear of the Lord is strong confidence and his children
shall have place of refuge the fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to
depart from the snares of death and the multitude of people is the king's honor but in the
want of people is the destruction of the prince he that is slow to wrath is of great
understanding but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly
sound heart is the life of the flesh but envy the rottenness of the bones
he that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his maker but he that onereth him hath mercy on the poor
the wicked has driven away in his wickedness but the righteous hath hope
in his death wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding
that which is in the midst of fools is made known
righteousness exalteth the nation but sin is a reproach to any people
the king's favor is toward a wise servant but his wrath is against him that calleth shame
let's pray to the Lord God we thank you for your word and for this opportunity to hear
preach now let's ask that you would meet with us here now please bless Pastor Mahir with your Holy Spirit
and please just be with us as well please bless the preaching
to our edification that we can be better Christians and in Jesus name we pray Amen
Amen okay we're in Proverbs chapter 14
this morning and look down at your Bibles in verse 15 it says the simple
believeth every word but the prudent man looketh well
to his going and the time of my sermon this morning is why believing
in aliens is stupid why believing in aliens is
stupid now this may seem like a silly sermon but the
reality is this is we're living in 2023 where this is actually a thing even
to the point where it's going into the realm of Christianity and Christians are even
buying into some of this stuff and so it's important that when we come to the house of God
we go to the great equalizer that which tells us what
we should believe and discard fables and nonsense
and lies and stick with what the Bible actually says now
let me say here is that the Bible is saying in Proverbs chapter 14 that a simple
person will just believe every word now what is a simple person
is referring to a simpleton the modern term would be someone who is stupid and
the reason it says that is because of the fact that someone who is a simpleton
someone who we would call a stupid individual doesn't really investigate
anything doesn't make inquiry doesn't really want to know the truth they're just
willing to believe anything that anyone says and according to the
Bible that's wrong you know the Bible tells us to make diligent inquiry to prove all
things hold fast that which is good and not to just blindly follow
whatever anyone says now the only time it's appropriate
essentially to believe what someone says is when it's God who's saying it right
because the Bible says let God be true and every man a liar the Bible always
talks about that the witness of God is greater and it's important that when we
approach the word of God we approach it in faith and recognize that
everything that the Bible says is true all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is
profitable for doctrine for proof for correction and instruction in righteousness
the Bible tells us that knowing this that no prophecy of the scripture is given
of any private interpretation the holy men of God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost and so a couple things that is always
true in this life is you know we're always going to pay taxes
death is certain and the word of God is always true
and so the point of the sermon this morning is to make sure that you
don't become a simpleton or if you are a simpleton that you
graduate to having some intelligence some common sense
and stop believing in the stupidity of aliens
the Bible says in Jeremiah chapter 10 go with me there if you would Jeremiah chapter 10
Jeremiah chapter 10 we're just going to talk about
some things by way of introduction Jeremiah chapter 10 in verse number 1 the Bible
reads hear ye the word of the Lord which the Lord speaketh unto you
O house of Israel thus saith the Lord in verse number 2
learn not the way of the heathen and be not dismayed
at the signs of heaven the Bible says for the heathen are dismayed
at them so this is literally referring to the fact that in these
particular days in Jeremiah's days there are individuals who
would look at the signs of heaven whether that were the celestial bodies known as
planets the stars the moon and they would be dismayed at them
they would think that they would have some sort of spiritual significance some sort of celestial
significance to them spiritual impact and
they would be dismayed at them you know they would observe times and months and years
and they would essentially become afraid at the heavenly bodies
well today obviously there might be individuals out there that are still
afraid of these heavenly bodies but the reality is this now we have people
who live in the United States then when they see a flying object
of some sort in the sky you know the sign in
heaven the UAPs automatically
they're like Star Wars I knew it was real
and they start coming to these ridiculous conclusions
that just because there's some sort of flying object that maybe they've never ever
seen before other than in a sci-fi type of a movie
some technologically advanced object automatically
they come to the conclusion there must be extraterrestrial life out there
because I've never seen something like that before but the Bible tells us
don't learn the way of the heathen you know the way of the heathen is that they jump
to conclusions the way of the heathen is that they look at something in the sky that they're not familiar with
something that's foreign and alien and automatically think
oh you know this is extraterrestrial this is something that comes from a different
planet you know that's a stupid conclusion okay don't be dismayed
at them don't learn the way of the heathen you know create reasonable
conclusions based upon logic based upon information
and facts based upon just being reasonable okay
now what is an alien I can't believe I'm preaching this but what is an alien
according to the modern definition well an alien
when we think of an alien you know the Bible does talk about aliens but when the Bible refers to
aliens it's referring to just foreigners okay someone who is from a foreign country
you know and they use it essentially even today
referring to illegal aliens right but when
the most popular use of aliens today is referring
to an extraterrestrial the ETs you know the monsters from outer
space the Martians okay now why are people so
obsessed and or afraid of aliens
well I'll tell you why it's because of movies okay it's because of the movies
I mean we live in a culture that is saturated with
talk and movies about aliens books are constantly being promoted
there's constant movies about aliens independence day type
things where it's just like the possibility of an alien invasion
it's always possible and then you have these pseudo
scientists that buy into that stuff and because people give them
credibility based upon whatever degrees that they have you know they put forth these
theories that there's these advanced civilizations out there and other planets and other galaxies
and what people do they just buy into that stuff okay
so they become afraid what if there is an alien invasion do we
have a plan for an alien invasion what happens if we make contact with
life on other planets etc and so it becomes very much an obsession
of the culture and by the way it's an obsession of American culture
notice that all these sightings of these
so called UAPs only happens in America you know I saw a meme the other day it's just
like aliens in a movie how they view the world and it's just only the United States
there's like no other country on the globe it's just the
United States okay why is it popular
today why is the concept of aliens the fable of
aliens should we say popular today well because of so called
whistle blowers okay these so called whistle blowers
these sightings of UAPs unidentified
anomalous what's the P stand for phenomenon
right unidentified anomalous phenomenon that's what they call it
so it's no longer UFO unidentified flying object now it's
unidentified anomalous phenomenon okay and you know you have these whistle blowers
that are going before congress and you know they're making
news and you know essentially promoting
the existence of aliens and so people
are very much intrigued by this okay now you say well what's the
purpose of promoting aliens if they're not real why would people promote
aliens if they're not real well let's just look at a couple concepts here of the
possibilities as to why they would be promoted number one it could obviously be a smokescreen
for other things that the government is doing okay you know promoting
lies is not something that's far fetched for the government to do
and so it's possible that the government is just promoting this nonsense
because we have a dumb culture that just believes anything including
the existence of aliens and bigfoot and all these other
nonsensical ideas and so it could be a smokescreen for something
else that the government is up to another reason why
they would be promoting aliens is essentially you never know
it could have some end time significance to it where
after the tribulation takes place and then the rapture comes and all
believers are taken up to go home to be with the lord
that could be something that the government promotes the new world order promotes
is saying oh aliens took you know all these people or
whatever it's an alien invasion we don't really know it doesn't really matter
at the end of the day the bible tells us that the law of the lord is perfect converting the soul
the testimony of the lord is sure making wise the simple
and so again the purpose of the sermon is to help us to no longer be simple
to avoid simplicity and buy into
knowledge buy into reason buy into biblical ideas now
one of the reasons I want to preach this this morning is obviously there's unsafe people
that believe in this stuff because they just watch too many movies and they
want this to be real but for some reason you know Christians
also buy into this stuff as well and I don't want to get ahead of myself but
you know Christians there's Christians out there that won't blatantly say they believe in aliens
they'll just make an excuse for what it is you know it's not an alien it's a demon you know
that's what it really is because they don't know any other way to explain it
and so automatically they say well it has to be an angel or a demon or something like that
which I'm going to debunk that in this sermon
so let me just give you a couple points this morning
as to why believing in aliens is just really stupid
and I hope no one in here believes in aliens but if you do you'll be convinced by the end of the
sermon that it's a stupid idea now number one
reason number one why aliens are stupid but why believing in
aliens are stupid is the most obvious and that is
that there's zero evidence to prove that they exist
there's no evidence whatsoever that aliens exist oh what about like
those UAPs how is that proof of
extraterrestrial life it's a ship it's an
aircraft and in fact you know years ago
prior to the government
you know showing the stealth bomber they would fly it over
it was a secret project and people literally thought that it was an alien
aircraft because it was very foreign to what was currently
you know considered an aircraft by the government you know stealth
bombers they look pretty radical and obviously now we know what they
are but people when they saw it in those days they're like oh it's an alien
it wasn't an alien just because it wasn't able to be tracked by radar or whatever
it was just advanced technology that the government was holding on to it wasn't
showing to the public you understand now again the Bible says to prove all things
hope fast that which is good and you say to yourself yeah but I've seen so many YouTube videos though
of like dead aliens you know
there's something called Hollywood though and
Hollywood can make some pretty convincing corpses of aliens
okay I mean they have to you know they have CGI
they have people who work with that stuff and so you know YouTube videos
where the videos all pixelated there's no high resolution
I've never you know it's incredible to think that we live in a day and age where 4K
is so prevalent and available but yet we don't get 4K
images of these extraterrestrials or of Bigfoot
and look people still believe in Bigfoot today
and I heard a funny joke it's just like you know why all the images
of Bigfoot are pixelated it could be because Bigfoot is pixelated
you know but if Bigfoot was real
we would have found some sort of corpse of that animal in the forest within the last
10-20 years because you know Bigfoot if it's real it's gonna die
why haven't we found any skeletal corpses or anything of that nature
you know it's people who just want to believe in
these sci-fi ideas they just think there's something outside
of what already exists and folks you know God's creation is enough already
okay and if you want to look for aliens or things that look like aliens
just study and observe the animals
that dwell in the deep ocean those things are alien enough
when you look at those things you know the angler fish for example it just looks
alien but it's actually something that God created you don't need a flying saucer
to satiate your desire for
that which looks alien you know the Bible tells us that we henceforth be no more children tossed
to and fro carried about with every wind of doctrine now one of the reasons go to Deuteronomy
chapter 19 if you would Deuteronomy chapter 19
you say what are the ships that are in the sky then
what is that because obviously
there are these UAPs there's enough footage of that
of these aircrafts that are traveling at incredible speeds
okay through the air things that we've never
seen before technologically and so what is
that well in my opinion it's just the government having new technology
I mean the reality is this and you know they're actually
creating technology and I forgot what it's called right now but there's
a specific form of transportation that could essentially go
from New York to it's a transatlantic transportation that
could go from New York all the way to Europe in a matter of 45 minutes
okay they're creating that and that's that's great technology is it not
I mean to be able to travel at that speed is great it's not demonic
it's like well that's that's so evil why is that evil
the drive through is not evil okay
you know
being able to travel from point A to point B in a limited amount of time is not an
evil thing that's technology that's a good thing okay I'm just saying
that there's technology out there that we don't know about that is going to be
introduced to this world later on and if you think that is crazy wait till you see the
abomination of desolation okay
that's able to destroy people and kill people and the Bible is prophesied of those things and so
there's technology out there that you know we haven't seen
that is foreign to us that when we at one point or another is going to
be the norm for us for example how about the iPhone today right
you know where you have a computer in your pocket that is able to take
pictures it is able to record videos it is able to record those
UAPs and the so called bigfoots and it's you know you can text
message people you can contact people on the other side of the world I mean this is something that was very
foreign to people a thousand years ago that obviously it's a technology that's
very much advanced and even 20 or 30 years ago if you were
to propose that to someone they would say what in the world that sounds too advanced that sounds alien
okay now we'll say this I'm waiting for the flying cars to come
out it's like you got all these other
can we get some flying cars can we get some what is it the Jetson
type of technology out here already but think about this okay
regarding these UAPs because again in my opinion it's just government
that has advanced technology and you say yeah
but how can a person you know actually be
in that type of aircraft and travel at
that velocity and not like disintegrate or something I'll tell you
how they're not in there have you heard of like
unmanned aircrafts you're like oh I don't know about
that folks I own a drone but I don't actually
fly in the drone and here's
the thing you know I saw a really funny meme I get a lot of memes
and I feel like they communicate truths very well sometimes
but you know the people who are really advanced in this area of drones
they're able to essentially fly up
I'm going to throw a number out there because I don't know exactly how many there are let's say there's like a
hundred drones into the sky that have these particular lights and they
can create these images in the sky it's very
beautiful you know they have like this technology drone art
where at night they fly these drones and they fly them in formation and create
these images very just it's awesome and I saw a meme one
time that said why don't we fly a hundred of those to
some indigenous tribe and make a face and become their god
right and it's just like it probably would work
you know if we were to take if time travel was possible
which it is not if I were to take a drone back to
the biblical days two thousand years ago and I flew a drone many people would freak out
at what's in the sky I mean people would freak out to see an airplane in the sky
two thousand years ago people could not imagine that human beings
would be flying in a massive aircraft from one continent to
another I mean this is the world in which we live
okay and so don't think you know just because there's a UAP
or an aircraft in the sky flying at some incredible velocity automatically
the conclusion should be that there's aliens that exist now give human beings
a little more credit human beings are capable of
incredible technological advancement and just
read for example the book of revelation where there would be a technology
which by the way already exists for as
precursors to the mark of the beast where no man might buy ourselves safe
the heed that had the mark and so you know putting it on the right hand or on the forehead
and being able to purchase things I mean you think of neural link for example
you think of just Amazon one for example
where they literally put a chip into the hand and you go to the store and boop you just buy
something by just waving your hand around it I mean that's advanced
technology okay now obviously it could be used for good but it's obviously going to be
used for bad in the long run but technology in and of itself is not evil
it's how people use technology you know it's like for example the internet the internet
can be used in a great way to preach the gospel to get information out biblical
information out there to give exposure to the word of God but obviously people
have used the internet for nefarious reasons as well okay
and so number one the reason believing in aliens is stupid is because there's
zero evidence to prove that they exist it doesn't exist they're not real
and the reason as of recently why
this idea has caught momentum is because there's a man by the name of David
Grush who went before Congress who was
working for you know the UAP task force that they created
about a year and a half ago or something when these UAPs started
showing up you know Congress was just like trying to hold the government accountable and was like we're going to make a
task force and they're going to investigate this and we're going to get to the bottom of this if aliens
are real so this guy David Grush comes out and
he's being interviewed by Congress as far as what the findings are and he's
considered a whistle blower okay but here's the funny
thing is that they're making it seem as though like he's really putting his life in danger
by coming out and talking about this and exposing this but they
gave him permission to do it the task force literally said
yeah and this is what all the things that you can talk about right here
and so they gave him a list of things that he can talk about
and that's all he could and they said you know don't give him any images
any you know videos or any images we don't want you to do
any of that this is just the only thing you can talk about now he goes before
Congress and they're asking him are there unidentified anomalous
phenomenon are there aircrafts out there and he's like yes there are and he's
like and they ask him like are there
you know I don't know exactly how they worded this but like are there alien bodies
he's like well typically when a
aircraft crashes okay typically
there's dead pilots in there so yes there is some sort of biological entity that we recovered
from these aircrafts basically saying yeah there's aliens in these
aircrafts okay and everyone in the back is just like yes
you know no no pictures no nothing
he said well isn't that valid enough though for him to just say that if you work for the task
force well let me just say this is that every single time he's asked about these
very detailed descriptions of the physical bodies
and the ships he's not giving his first hand account of this
he's saying that when he joined the task force he was debriefed
that these things were real he was debriefed
on the supposed corpses that were taken out of the
alien aircraft he was debriefed on the aircraft but he himself has said like I've never
seen it though now this is the main guy
that everyone's excited about you know he's exposing
you know the alien cover up and area 51
and all these things but he didn't see it
it's hearsay exactly which does not hold up in a court of law
hearsay is just like you know in the court they just say hearsay in other words
this is not their first hand account he's getting it from someone else it's second hand
which is not valid you understand now look at Deuteronomy chapter 19
if you would Deuteronomy 19 verse 15 it says one witness shall not
rise up against a man for any iniquity or for any sin
in any sin that he sinneth at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth
of three witnesses shall the matter be established and a witness
is not someone who has received the information second hand
it's a person who witnessed what took place right
now obviously in the Bible there are instances where someone was a witness
of something that they heard okay you know if someone committed a murder
they're worshiping false gods they were a witness of something that they heard
and at that point if there's more than one witness in that case then this is what happens
go to Deuteronomy chapter 17 Deuteronomy 17
it says in verse number 2
if there be any of thy gates which the Lord thy God
giveth thee man or woman that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God
in transgressing his covenant and hath gone and served other gods and worshipped them
either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven which I have not commanded
and it be told thee that thou hast heard of it and inquired diligently
and behold it be true and to think certain that such
abomination is wrought in Israel then
shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman which hath committed that wicked thing
and unto thy gates even the man or that woman and shall stone them with stones till they die
in other words if they hear about it okay now the next step is that they have to
inquire diligently they have to actually investigate
to see if these things are so this is not a debriefing
in other words there has to be substantial evidence to claim that these
things are true so that a person may be punished and the same thing can be
added and applied to this particular situation
people are giving so much credibility to this guy who is literally getting it second
and third hand and he's like you know well I worked with this guy all my
career and he came up to me and he debriefed me on this and he said it was
true and so yes it's true you know there's alien bodies and alien
aircrafts but folks that's not enough evidence now look
you know the aircrafts that are being viewed in the sky that's good evidence
that there's some sort of aircraft that is foreign to us to our knowledge right
and there's tons of that and there's a lot of pilots who have even said
we saw this I filmed it I mean many many
pilots who have said this and in fact even John's father
who's a pilot even saw a UAP okay but not
a single witness of an actual alien
why because there's zero evidence that they exist
because they don't exist they're a figment of your imagination
not yours but the people who actually want to believe in them okay and so
why is it stupid to believe in aliens because there's zero evidence that they exist whatsoever
okay number two go with me if you would to
Genesis chapter one Genesis chapter one
Genesis chapter one
and here's the thing folks you know if there's so many
videos really bad quality videos
of these dead aliens or whatever if there's
you know people say yeah but there's so many videos out there though you know they're so okay then
it's time for the government to just show them right I mean
that's basically their way of kind of showing that they exist why not just
kind of show us that we've made contact or something right I'll tell you why because
there's no one that doesn't exist it's not real so they have to keep
putting out these false videos and allowing them to circulate on the internet
to create this delusion that extraterrestrials are real
and that they're hiding it it's nonsensical okay
now reason number two why believing in aliens is stupid to believe in aliens
is to assert that God created beings listen to this
superior to man right because
anytime aliens are mentioned in the public it's just like they're just an advanced
civilization okay they're advanced and
they have these advanced technologies and you know you even
have well I'll get into that illustration later actually I was going to talk about Joe Rogan but that's
that's point number five okay but they're saying you know they're
so advanced and so from a biblical perspective what they're saying is that
there's a civilization out there more advanced than human beings which does
not line up with the Bible because according to the Bible we are the greatest
of God's creation human beings are
the greatest they're the superior race
in this world okay the human race is superior than all the animals
all of God's creation we are the most important
in the eyes of God as proven by the fact that God commended
his love toward us and that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us
okay now let me read to you a couple verses here before we get into
Genesis 1 Colossians 1 16 says for by him were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in earth visible and invisible whether they be
thrones or dominions or principalities or powers all things were
created by him and for him and he is before all things
and by him all things consist now look at Genesis chapter 1
and verse 25 it says here referring to the creation
story and God made the beasts of the earth after his kind
and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind and God saw that it was good
God said let us make man in our image after our likeness
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea over the fowl of the air
over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth listen to this so God created
man in his own image in the image of God created he
him male and female created he them so
according to the biblical creation account God created man
in the image of God right in other words we
are as a lot of liberals like to call it the image bearers
of God okay now this poses a problem for the
alien believers because if they're superior
to us why they look so freaky
like these little green men with big heads and big eyes
I mean they just look anemic and you know just weird right
and they don't bear the image of God
because God didn't create them and so obviously if they don't look like human beings because they don't
okay then that would mean that there's some form of
creature that God created well then you have a problem because we're supposed to have dominion over all
of creation and according to the narrative the public narrative
aliens have essentially dominion over us they're constantly watching us
they are kidnapping human beings you know probing
them and doing all types of experiments sounds like they have a lot of power over us
and so it obviously doesn't fit the biblical narrative
because of the fact that they weren't created by God
they're not even a creature that was created by God because we don't have you know
it'd be cool to have dominion over aliens or whatever but it's just not real okay
and by the way you say well yeah but what if he created
you know aliens on other planets and you know
he died for them or something after he left Earth
well first of all the Bible doesn't give any type of account of that nature
but secondly again they weren't made in the image of God
and then thirdly let's just say okay they don't
maybe they don't sin though you know they're dissension beings who just don't sin
well then you know you have a problem because they're still created beings
and the Bible tells us in Romans chapter 8 that all the creatures
are subject to vanity so all of creation
everything that you see in the universe is subject to vanity
everything is being destroyed everything is
essentially coming to naught because we're subject to vanity
that's how the world and the universe works you know this is why
for example every single planet in the universe
every single planet in the universe is sterile
okay people are like oh man I just want to go visit other planets
why all planets suck you can't sustain life on other planets
it's terrible Earth is the most beautiful planet in all
of existence it's the perfect planet it's the only
planet that has oceans and vegetation and
human beings and beauty obviously there's planets out there that are beautiful
but they're hostile environments that can't sustain life
that's just the bottom line and in fact you know think about this
you know they don't know this but obviously you know there's gas planets
even in our solar system and you know people have made this claim
like oh there's certain planets that you know it rains glass or
it rains diamonds and in our minds we think oh man diamonds are just so
valuable so expensive but the reality is this is that actually in the
economy of the universe wood is actually more expensive
than diamonds because we're the only planet that has wood
every other planet even if you have diamonds is not enough because in the economy of the universe
God put wood only here okay to create houses and things that
we can utilize but at the end of the day aliens if they don't
sin we have a problem because all the creatures of God are subject to vanity
and the Bible also tells us that all the creatures are waiting for the
manifestation of the sons of God okay in other words
they're waiting for the redemption which means that either if they're
created they should be subject unto us or if they're superior to us
then we got a big problem with the Bible but obviously the problem is not with the Bible the problem is with
these lovers of sci-fi okay
now there's a guy he's an Italian
scientist and he basically posed this particular
paradox it's called the Fermi paradox and this guy's not a Christian
but he basically determined and he put forth this
this statement here Enrico Fermi determined that
any past intelligent species in the Milky Way
listen to this would require 1 billion years to colonize our 13 billion
year old galaxy these mathematics demand that we should have
met ET by now so
because if you think about it the concept of aliens requires the
false concept of evolution to exist because you know they think to themselves
well you know the galaxy or the universe is billions of years
old and so if it's billions of years old there's probably some other civilization that existed
billions of years ago well they would only
require 1 billion years to create technology to
essentially overcome and rule all these other galaxies
these mathematics demand that we should have met ET by now
what does the great silence tell us about human existence
he basically posed this he says where is everybody
if they had 1 billion years
the so called advanced civilization with these UAPs
and all this advanced technology if they've had
1 billion years to essentially advance so dramatically
and so drastically then where is everybody
this is known as the Fermi Paradox
because it poses a problem to the evolution theory
which is not a theory it's false because they're just like
well you want to say that this universe is billions of years old and that aliens have existed
for billions of years and they're super advanced then
why aren't we being ruled by these so called aliens why are we alone
I'll tell you why because we are alone
he said then why would God create this vast expanse of space
with all these galaxies and planets and stars
it's called for his glory that's what it's for
it's not so we can travel from Earth to go to Pluto
who wants to go to Pluto anyways I don't even want to go to Antarctica
I don't even want to go to the coldest place on Earth
what makes you think I want to go to a place called Pluto that's far away from the sun
I have no interest in that it's a hostile environment all these planets are
sterile I want nothing to do with them they're wandering stars
and so turn with me if you would
to go to 2 Peter chapter 3
so to believe in aliens
is to assert that God created beings superior to man and if they're
so superior why are they hiding why are they making it so hard to find them
if they're so superior they can just come here like Superman or something
and just like take over if they wanted to take all our resources
you know have a world of wars type thing
where they take all our resources and enslave us and what not
I mean it's stupid it's nonsense it makes for a great movie
you know and you know that's the only place aliens exist
is in the movies
you know and movies have to twist all types of them they make all types of mental
gymnastics in order to create these types of environments I mean you think of like Star Wars
for example okay where every planet just so happens to have
oxygen right no matter
where they go it's just don't worry there's oxygen you know why because of the
fact that it doesn't work in the real world there's only oxygen
here my friends number three
why believing in aliens is stupid
number three it makes Christians twist the Bible to
substantiate the claim that aliens exist in some form
because you know most Christians agree with those first two points
but then when you get to like the evidence and the UAPs then Christians
they start scrambling and they're like they don't know how to
make sense of these aircrafts
these UAPs these phenomenons that are taking place you know in the
United States you know they don't know how to really make sense of it so their default setting
is oh they're just demons and angels or something
hey do not bring a railing accusation against the demons and aliens of this world my friends
okay now look at second Peter chapter three verse sixteen and I hear
this all the time I see this on
social media all the time where people
are just like aliens and then the Christian is just like I know you demon
you know just because that's like their default
setting they don't know how to think about things reasonably and just understand this is just technology
or something okay not everything is
the devil the devil is responsible for a lot of stuff this is probably not one of them
now I'm not saying that the people that are in charge of these things
are not demon possessed and have wicked agenda behind it I'm just
saying the demon is not the pilot you know we're in the Bible
and we'll go to Ezekiel in just a bit we're in the Bible do you ever see like a demon
just like flying an aircraft
and then they get to you know their destination
and they're like dude they saw you on camera you gotta be
careful bro like you just like
you didn't put invisible mode on or something you know
look at second Peter chapter three verse sixteen it says
as also in all his epistles speaking in them of these things in which are some things
hard to be understood which they that are unlearned
and unstable rest as they do also
the other scriptures unto their own destruction now what this is referring to is the
Apostle Peter is talking about the Apostle Paul's writings
which if you've read the Bible for any length of time obviously the New Testament
you see that there's certain things that the Apostle Paul writes about that are kind of hard to understand
he writes in a cryptic way sometimes very deep and so
when you have these deep scriptures in the Bible
these are often the portions in the passages of scripture
that people who don't know the Bible or people who want to twist the Bible
will use to teach some sort of false doctrine because of the fact that
the scripture is so encrypted, enigmatic, obscure
it's kind of open for interpretation type of a thing right
and so what he's saying here is that people who are unlearned and they're unstable
they will rest which another word for rest is wrestle
they'll twist those scriptures to mean something that it doesn't really say
now turn with me if you would to go to Ezekiel chapter one
let's go to Ezekiel chapter one while you're turning I'm going to read to you from Hebrews chapter number five
in verse 12 it says
we don't use the Bible to try to fit everything that's going on in the world right
we view the world in light of the Bible
and so if you see something that doesn't make sense to you and you can't necessarily
filter it through the word of God you just need to read the Bible more gain some discernment
and don't start jumping to these sci-fi conclusions
or even start saying like it's just a demon or something like that
let me read to you from first Timothy chapter one verse number one
or verse number three excuse me
listen to this
neither give heed to fables
and endless genealogies which minister questions
rather than godly edifying which is in faith so do
what is a fable it's a made up story it's ET
it's Star Wars it's Star Trek
things aren't real and so the
apostle Paul is telling Timothy people who don't know the Bible shouldn't be teaching the
Bible desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor whereof
they affirm because when they do they're going to start teaching things that are fables they're going to
start teaching lies and unfortunately the population
even amongst churches they love hearing fables
but we need to reject fables and
study to show ourselves to prove them to God a workman that needed not to be ashamed
rightly dividing the word of truth stick to the truth and
shun profane and vain babblings the Bible says
now let's talk about Ezekiel 1 because of the fact that when Christians
are confronted with this topic
of aliens their default setting sometimes is
aliens are demons aliens are angels
and they'll often go to Ezekiel chapter one as a proof text
to say that this is why this is valid this idea is valid
now let's read it here Ezekiel chapter one verse number one says
and listen to this
so when you read the book of Ezekiel you'll see
that Ezekiel is probably one of the prophets who receive the most visions
now what is a vision it's not something that's happening
in real time per say like in reality
it is essentially a supernatural occurrence
where God is allowing him to view things he's not having an
out of body experience he's just viewing things through the spiritual realm
it's not physically happening at that moment you understand
so he sees this vision it says in verse number two in the fifth day of the month which was the fifth year
of king Jehoiachin's captivity the word of the Lord came
expressly unto Ezekiel the priest the son of Buzai in the land of the Chaldeans
by the river Chebar and the hand of the Lord was there upon him
and I looked and behold a whirlwind came out of the north
a great cloud and a fire unfolding itself and a brightness
was about it and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber
out of the midst of the fire so what he's about to see is essentially
a celestial body which is known as a cherubim which people commonly
refer to as an angel although they're not necessarily the same things it's a created
beast of God that's in heaven that has
this very exotic look to them I mean you have fire
the Bible says enfolding itself so you think of a fire a flame
is just constantly enfolding itself it's coming out going back in coming out going back in
it's very exotic right it's kind of cool to think about
out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures and this
was their appearance they had the likeness of a man everyone had
four faces and everyone had four wings and their feet was
straight feet the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot and they
sparkled like the color of burnishing a burnished brass so he's describing
what's known as a cherubim and a cherubim
is not your classical angel most people
think of angels as having wings they look kind of gay you know what I mean it's just kind of like
they're really soft you know they're just they're like half naked
right just like the Catholic angel the
cherubim whereas the cherubim in the Bible is very
exotic and in fact very terrifying to look at so
they have this anthropomorphic body in other
words they look like a man like the body of a man but they have four faces
the face of a man even though it's still considered a beast
then you have the face of a lion the face of a calf and
what's the other one that I'm missing the face of an eagle okay so
that's this anthropomorphic type of a thing and even their legs they have legs of calf's feet
so it's just as our legs they're kind of like they go down and make an L shape
the legs of a cherubim is like a calf so it just goes
straight down okay it's like a stick and then they're sparkling
with the color of burnished brass verse 8 says and they had hands of a man
under their wings on their four sides and they
excuse me and they four had their faces and their wings
their wings were joined one to another they turned not when they went
they went everyone straight forward so the way these
cherubims actually move the way they travel
is essentially they go one way they go north south
east west essentially okay they kind of just move like
like this okay and the reason for this because of their four faces
so in either case they're moving forward if it's in the direction obviously of that
particular face the eagle or whatever the man verse number 10 says as for the likeness
of their faces they four had the face of a man the face of a lion on the right side
and they four had the face of an ox on the left side and they four also had the face of an eagle
which is indicative of the four gospels
as we also see in revelation chapter 4 and 5 that the cherubim
are made this way to depict the four gospels
and I won't get into that preach that in other sermons verse 11 says
thus were their faces and their wings were stretched upward two wings of everyone
were joined one to another and two covered their bodies
look at verse 12 and they went everyone straight forward
whether the spirit was to go they went and they turned not
when they went so they're not going like this you know what I mean they're not like spinning
you understand they're just kind of moving
again north south east west type movement verse 13 says
as for the likeness of the living creatures their appearance was like burning coals
of fire and like the appearance of lamps and went up and down
among the living creatures and the fire was bright out of the fire went forth lightning
and the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning
you know like those UAPs they're just like
really fast right verse 15 says now as they beheld the living creatures
behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures
with his four faces and the appearance
of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of beryl
and therefore had one likeness and their appearance and their work was as it were
a wheel in the middle of a wheel
Now how do we describe this? Well you basically can describe it
as a sphere ok it's basically saying there's a wheel within a wheel
and the best way that I can describe this as far as like you know
today would be like a luggage
ok now you look at the bottom of a luggage bag those wheels
they don't necessarily move forward a bag where you can kind of move it wherever
it's like a wheel within a wheel right it's almost like a sphere so that no matter where you turn
they just kind of roll in that direction you understand so this is what this is describing
here verse 17 says when they went they went upon their four sides
and it turned out when they went when the living creatures went the wheels went by
them and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted
up so on and so forth so the reason people use this portion of
scripture to try to validate that there's proof that there's
aliens is because of the wheels because you know
in the 50's 60's and 70's when aliens were
seen or whatever it was always like a wheel that was spinning
what do they call it a flying saucer
which you know ironically the twilight zone also had flying saucers
when depicting aliens and stuff ok but this is not the
same thing that's being described here because the wheel is within
a wheel essentially creating a sphere you understand almost like a ball
kind of that rolls and helps these celestial bodies
get from one place to another now what is the point of
showing this in this particular passage of scripture to debunk the existence
of aliens well because of the fact that all this is being done
when? In a vision
and there's no example in the bible where
a cherubim shows its actual
formation its actual created body in real life because
it's a vision now are there angels that go into the physical
realm in the bible and appear you know and kind of discover themselves
before human beings absolutely but they never come as a lion
as an eagle as an ox they're not just moving all over the place
and believers are like whoa whoa slow down bro you know can you just stand still
they come in human form why because angels
when talking or communing with human beings
on this earth come in the form of humans as well see this in
Genesis 19 and even in the historical books
and even in the four gospels they always come in the appearance of an
actual man you understand in bright clothing or whatever
it's never these cherubims that are appearing
you know with a wheel within a wheel and a lamp just going up and down
and they're moving as fast as lightning that is for a celestial
supernatural vision that God gives to Ezekiel and
others who have seen this okay so cherubims are manifested in their created
form through visions because of the fact that cherubims are
spiritual beings okay angels when manifested
in the physical realm embody human form
demons possess humans and or animals
they don't embody spaceships is what I'm trying to say here
okay nor do they use spaceships to
travel because it doesn't match up with the biblical
description of cherubims traveling in Ezekiel chapter 1
and Ezekiel chapter 10 he said well how do you know that these are cherubims because it doesn't state that in chapter 1
well in chapter 10 it does describe them as cherubims and it calls back to
chapter 1 saying these are the ones that I saw in the beginning of the vision at the river
at the river Chebar okay so it's referring to those cherubims there
and they never possess inanimate objects either
so you know stop watching those horror
movies of the psychics or whatever what's that
what is it no not that one you're watching too many movies
I'm talking about the psychic lady who
always like the conjuring you guys know what I'm talking about what's the
lady's name someone in here knows I won't embarrass you
what yeah yeah come on
anyways this lady and her husband they're like
psychics and they're like exorcists obviously they're
phonies is what they are they made a lot of movies about them but anytime
they go to a particular place to exorcise a demon or a devil they always
take an object from that particular incident and they
bring it back home and they basically claim that it's like possessed with the devil this is where like that
doll Annabelle ah see everyone knows what I'm talking about
okay that doll Annabelle well they have that doll Annabelle
and they have it in this particular cellar and anytime people
go visit them they're just like don't look just don't look at the doll okay you know
if you walk by just don't look at it because it just has all these demons in it
I wish I can go visit over there just so I can just like slap that thing around
exercise my dominion over that thing
you know because it's an inanimate object
isn't it crazy that there's people who are literally afraid of a doll who has no life whatsoever
what's that called superstition
okay and so you know they don't possess inanimate
objects they can't possess vehicles
a saxophone or you know a doll
spacecrafts ships they don't do those things and they don't
need physical objects to travel in because they're spiritual beings
you know it's not like you know once they
fell from heaven their transportation license
was revoked or something and they can no longer travel as cherry
bims it's just like you know they have to get a regular vehicle like everyone else
or something and you know you have this one demon
who is on his way to tempt some believer and they just got caught
on video camera and that's where this whole thing
comes from it's nonsense my friends
why do you think that demons are
driving these aircrafts
to get from point A to point B folks angels live
angels and demons live in the spiritual realm they don't live in the
they're not bound by the physical realm that we live in
okay they're probably laughing the demons are probably laughing at people
for giving them credit for flying these UAPs
and in fact these demons are able to probably travel faster than those UAPs
okay now here's another argument that people give
and that is well maybe you're right but demons gave them
the technology though how many of you heard that before
well they'll say by the way go to Exodus chapter 31
Exodus 31
cause you know they always gotta explain it away somehow
but it's like why? why can't you just accept the fact that
humans can create these things
just because you've never seen it before I mean it's just not
it's not you're not being reasonable okay
but they'll say you know I think that demons are giving
these people this advanced technology to create
really fast aircrafts and what do you
think they're gonna do with those aircrafts what's the nefarious agenda
being able to travel from point A to point B
you know what is so wicked and demonic about that that's what I'm wondering
okay now here's the proof text because
we I've talked to people personally who believe this
okay and it just didn't seem
legitimate and this is the scripture they point to this is the scripture a lot of people point to
Exodus 31 verse 1 says the Lord speaking to Moses saying
to work in all manner of workmanship to devise cunning works
to work in gold and in silver and in brass and in the
cutting of stones to set them and in the carving of timber to work in all manner
of workmanship so here we see that God endows a human
being with particular knowledge in order to advance in
cunning works gold silver things of that nature so their
belief was well if God does that that means demons can
do it too in other words elevating the knowledge of demons the
capability of demons to God but you know one
example we don't have is demons doing this in the Bible
you're like well you know what about all these technologies
that are just beyond the normal human capacity
and they're being used for evil Romans 1 listen to this
referring to reprobates says this listen and this is
this is the coup de gras that they are listen to this inventors
of evil things
people invent things my friends
if demons and devils and Satan was capable of just
you know superimposing wicked knowledge of
you know technology into people he would have done it just to the entire
population you say well you know
then how are these people getting this well here's my opinion of why these
people in high places have this knowledge or have the
positions that they have obviously the position is given to them by Satan
but you know why the position is given to them by Satan
because of the fact that either they already have knowledge
and or the resources
this is why Satan doesn't set up just anybody because
not everyone fits the criteria to be as wicked as he would want them
to be because people have a free will you understand
so who is Satan going to use he's going to use the most qualified
person with the most potential for wickedness
people with the most money people who are very knowledgeable
people who are very intelligent he's not going to just use
everyone because not everyone is intelligent you understand
or he could just say well you know he could yeah but he doesn't have the capability
of just superimposing knowledge into some guy
who doesn't have a job he doesn't read and you know why doesn't he
do that if God if Satan is capable of just giving
knowledge to a person in that manner why doesn't he just go to the entire population
and just give them knowledge just knowledge knowledge for wickedness knowledge for evil
knowledge for iniquity knowledge for nefarious agenda because of the fact that that's not the way it works
people gain knowledge by
themselves this particular case is obviously a unique
case where God gave someone particular knowledge and of course this person
thereafter passed that on to his children
passed that on to other employees you understand so it's one of those things
where like God got the ball rolling and then that person just kind of taught everyone else
it's kind of like the way we have the Bible today
the Bible is given to men of God
God spoke to them but we don't need God to speak to us today because we have this already
you understand what I'm saying and so you know
the thought of like oh you know I think demons are giving people
this technology it's such a
dumb concept in my opinion okay you know
it's just like yeah but what about AI you know didn't Satan give that
I don't think so because AI is helping a lot of people today
AI is beneficial artificial intelligence is beneficial
and you're like yeah but haven't you seen like Terminator
and the Matrix what about what if that happens or something well I'm a
Christian so I don't believe in that stuff I'm not saying AI can't
be dangerous in the long run or something I'm just saying that it is
it is amoral okay
the people it depends on the person whether you make it good or bad
though okay because obviously people couldn't use AI for wickedness
but people could use AI for good as well I mean it streamlines
a lot of work okay it just
it's very beneficial and I was even sharing this with someone in our church a couple weeks ago
and I was thinking to myself you know think about Instagram
okay you know my Instagram is filled with preachers who have died
a long time ago died a long time ago like Jack Hiles
he never would have thought that thousands of people
every day would be listening to his preaching
or watching him preach on the little computer screen
he would think like that's like whoa what like that's incredible you know they had tapes back then
or something he never would have thought like people would just be viewing
and listening to his preaching non-stop that there are entire accounts
dedicated to him listening to his preaching and he's been in heaven for so long
but if you were to tell him that 30, 40 years
ago or whatever he would have been like what you know that's
that seems incredible but here's my opinion let's say for example AI
can become so advanced that let's say if the Lord tarries
100 years from now let's say 50 years from now let's say
I die okay I pass away but there's
enough content of mine on the internet because here's the way
AI works if there's enough of your voice on the internet
enough of your speech and your talk on the internet AI can basically put everything
together and cause you to just speak like that
that is a thing right now like even on TikTok and Instagram where
it's just like people who have been dead they can actually talk and speak and obviously a lot of
parodies are made of like Joe Biden and stuff which is pretty
funny if you ask me but you know let's say 50 years from now I'm dead
60 years from now 100 years from now what's it say that a person can
say pull up Pastor Mejia's sermon on why believing in aliens is
stupid and it just pops me up
it's not me but it's there's so much video
content, speech and my doctrine and preaching on the internet
AI could literally put it together and just like preach that sermon in their
living room through AI you're like aw you're
getting too much into that sci-fi stuff I mean Apple just came out with those
goggles where literally you can work from home and everything
is just viewed through like it's just I can't even explain it but it's just
it's very much like minority report type thing where you're just like moving stuff
and all that that seemed like fake back in the days but now it's like a real
thing so they could just pull up a preacher Pastor Steven Anderson
just comes up Pastor Steven Anderson tells what you believe about the reprobate
doctrine and there's enough mannerisms online
that that AI generated image can mimic how he is
it's a possibility so it could be used for good
where it's just like 100 years from now I'm still preaching the gospel through AI or whatever
to someone who just uploads all the images and content and
sermons and all the visual aids through AI where the gospel is still being preached
you're like I don't know about that Jack Hiles is still preaching
a ton of preachers who have died in times past are still preaching today because of technology
so it can be used for good are you trying to tell me that a demon gave
a demon is like no no that's not what it's for
he's preaching the gospel I told you not to give him that knowledge
it's nonsense my friends
anyways that
transatlantic vehicle that I was talking about is a 75 passenger
luxury hybrid concept which I still believe it's
possible craft that is designed to travel
at 7,672 miles per hour
that could allow you to travel across the Atlantic Ocean in 40 minutes
and you say impossible what if we told
the people in bible times about the technologies that we have now they would probably say
impossible alright let's move on here I'm almost done
go to 2 Timothy chapter 2
2 Timothy chapter 2 give me 5 minutes and I'm done
ok and I will not talk about aliens anymore
hopefully not ok
why is believing in aliens stupid because it opens the door to more stupid
theories that's why look at the bible says in 2 Timothy 2.15
it says study to show thyself approved unto God a workman
and he is not to be ashamed riley divide in the word of truth but shun profane
and vain babblings why for they will increase unto
more ungodliness it says and their word will eat as
doth a canker of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus who concerning the truth have erred saying
that the resurrection is past already and overthrow the faith of some so
when it comes to this subject of aliens then you
get someone like Joe Rogan
who is putting forth this theory like
well I believe that like these aliens are just like
actual human beings in the future who have created these bodies
because they won't need these physical bodies so that's why they look like these little green men
or little grey aliens and then you know they've invented time travel
and they're actually trying to come back to us to kind of like warn us
what?
the guy sounds high and he probably is high
he's not only high he's on that what?
that DMT the Amazon drug or whatever
what? Ayahuasca he's probably on that Amazon
crack and that's why he's coming up with all these weird theories
because it increases into more ungodliness
this is why the Bible says we need to shun profane and vain babbling
aliens exist no they don't the only alien that I've ever known
is my family who came from Guatemala
those are the only aliens I know personally and
they don't look like the pictures either
and so it's important folks that when stuff like that starts coming up in our church
that we shut it down immediately bring people down to reason
to biblical thinking not to fantasy and sci-fi worlds
go to 2 Timothy chapter 4
2 Timothy chapter 4
just ask them more because once you get into aliens
then you get into time travel once you get into time travel then you get into vain
babblings of well if we can time travel what if I move a piece of rock or something
and I go to the past and everything changes then Jesus is not born and then
it's just like it's just vain babbling
minister questions rather than godly edifying
and lastly this at the root of
this it adds credence to the delusion which moves people away
from the Bible this is why believing in aliens is stupid
because it's just another facet to give to this world
whereby the world can reject the Bible and accept nonsense
you're like do you really think that people will buy into it
to the point where they reject the truth by accepting it they are rejecting the truth
and just think this the world one day
will accept the antichrist
as the god of this world and according to the Bible that's referred
to as a strong delusion and so
we need to reject things that cause people to believe something
other than the truth of the Bible and understand this
the Bible is timeless because he thinks to himself well how can you preach an entire
sermon on aliens using the Bible there's enough in the Bible to refute lies
and nonsense and vain babblings I mean we did it today
and so we need to make sure that we reject that and here's the thing folks
I only believe in one alien
there's only one alien I believe in because an alien is someone who is not
of this world and that's Jesus amen
cause he's really not of this world I would never call him an alien I'm just saying for the sake of the sermon
alien is someone who is foreign to this particular world and in a sense like
we're illegal aliens here as well cause this is not our world
our citizenship is in heaven in the new Jerusalem you understand
but it's so funny I find it hilarious if I make that comparison
if I may that people are like they see some sort of like
frozen ice on a different planet and they're just like life on other planets
and then you try to point to the baby in a woman's
womb and they're just like oh that's not life
but you want to believe some piece of ice on Mars is life
and we tell them Jesus Christ
came to this world he created all things
by him all things consist
he came to redeem the world he's in heaven
and they're like that's so stupid what about aliens oh yeah that's true though
and we were created by aliens billions of years ago
folks we're not the stupid ones here
that's stupid and it's just like they're pointing at us
mocking us for believing in God who created everything
and by the way you know
the God who's even in control of that which is unseen the spiritual
fear not him which can kill the body but afterwards can do nothing fear him who's able to destroy
both soul and body in hell okay but yet they want to buy
into aliens okay it's nonsensical and so
that's it you know if you
are into aliens and your favorite movie has an
alien involved well you know as long as you understand that it's just
not real okay you know you just keep it at the entertainment
level and don't try to make excuses as to you know maybe
this is possible maybe there are Kryptonians in this
world maybe reptilians are real
vain profane and
babbling my friends let's pray father we thank you so much for your word thank you for the truth of the Bible
and the fact that we can use it Lord to tear
through the nonsense lies and deception
and nonsensical things of this world Lord I pray that you'd help us as your
people to be sound in faith and not to be
carried away with diverse and strange doctrines and that we would continuously
fall back onto the word of God and prove all things hold fast that which is good
in Jesus name we pray amen
please turn your songbooks to song number
372
song number 372
let the lower lights be burning
song number 372
all together nice and strong on that first verse
brightly beams our father's
mercy from his lighthouse
evermore but to us
he gives the keeping of the lights
along the shore let
the lower lights be burning
send a gleam across the wave
some poor fainting struggling
sea man you may rescue you
may save dark the night
of sin has settled
loud the angry billows roar
eager eyes are watching
longing for the lights along
the shore let the lower
lights be burning send a gleam
across the wave some
poor fainting struggling sea man
you may rescue you may save
trim your feeble
lamb my brother some poor sailor
tempest toss trying now
to make the harbor in
the darkness may be lost
let the lower lights be burning
send a gleam across the
wave some poor fainting
struggling sea man you may rescue
you may save
Amen. Wonderful singing you are dismissed.
