does the holy bible mention anything concerning what we call today "U.F.O"?

Yes, the Bible says God put life on Earth and no where else.  Therefore there are no UFO's or life of any kind on any other planets.

onefootnaked:  I'm absolutely certain that God intended for humans to not travel any faster than their legs or the legs of beasts of burden can carry them....   however, most of us use cars, trains, and airplanes for transportation.\n\nI'm fairly certain that God intended for humans to not build skyscrapers <even stopped people from doing it in the bible> yet every major city has them...  some of us even work inside them.\n\nI'm relatively certain that to be a Christian like Jesus described his followers, we should give away all that we have, leave our families behind, and just follow Christ....  however I have never met the person who did that.\n\nTo answer the question here, abomination, in the bible really means "things hated by god."  But it doesn't matter.  Many things are listed in the Bible as an abomination, yet nobody seems to care until gay people want to be left alone.\n\nThe apostle Paul said that christians shouldn't get married, that it was better if they could live celibate lives like he did.  But you don't notice any Christians trying to ban straight marriage.\n\nThe truth is it doesn't matter what the Bible says about homosexuality.  It says so many crazy things that even if it said in clear and precise language that "god hates fags." I wouldn't pay it much attention.\n\nIt's not about god or christianity.  It's about people loving people.  Anybody against people loving people doesn't matter.

Not in Bible. I thought the Catholics stopped that practice on the 60's? Maybe some still do? They are not consistent from place to place-but who else is.

yah probably will.\n\n2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;\n\nthere will be a falling away.

In the Old Testament it says\nLeviticus 18:22\nThou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.\n\nThen in the New estament it says:\n1 Corinthians 6:9\nKnow ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\n\nDoes that do it for you?   Jim

Affirmations\n\nThe Bible is inspired and the word of God. \nTrinitarian: The Father, Son, Holy Spirit are all one God in three persons. \nJesus is God and has always existed with the Father. \nThe Holy Spirit is a person. \nJesus' sacrifice was vicarious. \nSalvation is by grace, not works. \nJesus rose from the dead physically in his glorified body. \nJesus ascended bodily into heaven. \nBaptism is by immersion \nThe literal, visible return of Jesus. \nJesus will return to set up a millennial kingdom.  They are Premillennial. \nLiteral six day creation, not long periods. \n\n\nDenials\n\nDenies the doctrine of predestination \nDenies baptism by sprinkling \nDenies infant baptism. \nDenies the immortality of the soul. \nDenies the eternality of hell fire. \nDenies any use of alcohol (as a drink) or tobacco. \n\n\nAberrant\n\nOur sins will ultimately be placed on Satan - The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485. \nJesus is Michael the Archangel. \nWorship must be done on Saturday (the Sabbath). \nOn October 22, 1844 Jesus entered the second and last phase of his atoning work. \nInvestigative Judgment - the fate of all people will be decided based upon this event in the future. \nThe dead do not exist anymore -- soul sleep. \nThe wicked are annihilated. \nEllen G. White, the "founder" of Seventh Day Adventism, was a messenger from God gifted with the spirit of prophecy. \nThere is a sanctuary in heaven where Jesus carries out his mediatorial work.

I, for one, work with my family daily to not say this as well as other things that sound similar to things relating to Jesus.  But I want to say also that I chose not to call someone else something that I could be as well.  Think about it, has any one of us, even the best of us, ever been able to completely follow the 10 commandments at all?  The Bible states to even look at someone in a lustful way is the same as committing adultery.  I would never commit adultery but who is to say that when I was a teenager and looked at the boys I went to school with I did not think that way unknowingly.  You understand I hope.  I will never call someone a hypocrite, I want to love the sinner and hate the sin and leave everything up to God =)  Best wishes and Happy Resurrection Day!!!

They will never be out of date insofar as they are still relevant today.  The rest of the Bible speaks about other sins but in different ways.  The Book of Leviticus takes the commandments and explains more in depth what each one means and what God wants for our lives.  In some ways though, I think we do need an updated set so that people will have no way to question what God wants.  You must look to the Greek text to find out about recreational drugs, you need better language to tell people that homosexuality is wrong, they don't understand the man lying with another man, as a woman idea or that it is an abomination, or that living together is not right.  You can go on forever trying to update those Ten Commandments, but, ultimately, all the answers are already in the Bible.  You just have to search for them and obey them.  God doesn't want His Word turned into a lie, as is being done in today's society.

Interesting, but my translation says "God takes his stand in his own congregation".  (New American Standard).  We would need to discuss it with an expert in ancient hebrew to form an informed opinion, so take it easy.

The questioner's point is that Jehovah God's Word the Bible explains clearly that this world, this system of things, is temporary and has no expectation of success for all humanity. Other gods and belief systems teach that this system is the one we are stuck with, yet such beliefs have been unsuccessful for thousands of years.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:3,4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

It's more poetic junk in the Bible that you can really interpret to whatever you want it to be.  This bit seems to be more threats of hellfire for those outside the group.  Religion likes to use the carrot and stick approach to gaining and keeping converts.  This is one example of a stick.  On the carrot side of it, they'll talk about "God's love" and such (ignoring, of course, such contradictions as this).

Of course.  All of the bible has been translated and re-translated hundreds of times, and all subject to the political and social morals of the monks keeping the records through the centuries. Don't kid yourself about it being "God's Word" and thus unchangeable and infallible.

No to your added question.  It is the only one that has stood the test of time and remains loyal to the meanings of what has always been accepted as God's inspired word.  newer versions often leave out or add to which alters the meaning drastically - my personal opionion has always been that satan's greatest division for christians was to confuse their bible so they couldn't even quote it the same anymore.

Well, according to the Bible, yes.  This is going to be very Lutheran of me, but I've already started, so I may as well explain it as best and briefly as I can.\n\nThe Bible states this: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not that of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works that men may boast." (Ephesians 2:8)\n\nThe Bible also sports this nice little phrase "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me but I will not be brought under the power of any." (I Cor 6:12, I would also like to point out that my version of the Bible uses a more archaic variant of English)\n\nSo, indeed, even a smidgen of faith in Jesus is all that is necessary to save us.  Why?  Because no matter what we do to prove our "sinlessness" to God, in the end it's all pointless.  The most righteous among us eventually become self-righteous, and nearly every good act done in the name of God or one's own self instead of being nice to that person is only another futherance into sin for us.  Pride rears its ugly head even upon the best of us all.  One of the faults of being imperfect is that you are going to give in to sin eventually.  And in God's eyes, a "minor" sin is just as bad as a major sin.  Anger and just being annoyed grants you the same punishment as a mass murderer would recieve.\n\nSo this is justification by faith, we can't save ourselves, so God sends His Son down to uphold the Law perfectly, and give himself as a blood sacrifice for all the rest of humanity, from here to eternity.
