I'm new to posting here but this passage was revealed to me and I thought it may warrant discussion or thoughts, although it may have been discussed before? I recently experienced what I can only refer to as a visitation by the Holy Ghost if you will and decided I had better heed it as I was raised Christian. I immediatly delved into some deep retrospective thinking and began to once again seek my savior and change my ways as I have been living in ways that would not please my God. In my new found agian studies I came across this passage. As one who has seen and beleives in ufos I was troubled as to their place in my beliefs, now the Lord has reveiled them to me and I thought I would share in my newly found enlightenment. The passage reads (for those of you who may not have access) starting in verse 10:10 Then he (Peter) became very hungry (coincidence? I think not as I am hungry for knowledge) and wanted to eat;but while they made ready he fell into a trance 10:11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners,decending to him and let down to earth. 10:12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth,wild beasts,creeping things,and birds of the air. 10:13 And a voice came to him, "Rise ,Peter,kill and eat." 10:14 But Peter said "Not so my Lord for I have never eaten anything common or unclean." 10:15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time [/color]"What God has cleansed you must not call common" [color="#000000"]10:16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again. Now clearly this was a vision as verse 10:17 states but what was the vision ? Was it three seperate visions? What did Peter consume before he was given the animals from heaven and Gods blessing to consume them? Only fish and vegis? I dunno but I thought I might post this as a new topic to share with others and maybe get some insight and thoughts from others, great site, hope you enjoy.

this has some interesting points -- http://www.bibleufo.com/index.htm

So...where are these probably more than 3 hundred saucer craft that crash landed on earth?
Are they fallen Angels? Who's holding them by now?

Has nothing to do w/UFO's or anything else. It was a vision to show Peter that the Gentiles were ready for the Gospel and that Peter was not to call them "unclean" - for through the death and ressurection of Jesus - they were made clean. It was not about 'UFO's' - 'aliens' or anything else. But that the Gospel was not just for the Jews. Talk about no small out of context tangent.

I thought I may have placed this in the wrong forum. I find your reply a trifle rude and condesending if you are a Christian. Notice I did not say I thought there may be aliens involved but it does go along with some of the other posts I have read regarding the earth being populated in this manner. You should maybe check out the link Ripley provided before you cast this aside so arrogantly. Why was the object then clearly filled with animals of the earth? If you read earlier in the text there is an example of divine abduction in verse 8:39 with Phillip majically dissapearing and reappearing at Azotous. I was just making an observation of ancient (to me) Biblical references to objects appearing in the sky from Heaven. It may be out of context and it very well may be a WILD tangent,but it does speak to a MAJOR problem of our time which is acceptance of others. I do not wish to get into Biblical arguement with you as I readily admit my knowledge is limited yet I SEEK. The link that Ripley provided is interesting to me as it also addresses a few other anomolies and abilities I have personally experienced such as esp, and Deja vu. As a child I had amazing abilities that have as of late been lost to me and I have spent much time pondering why,it has come to my mind that they were taken as I have strayed and they seem to have left somewhere at the age of 12 or the age of accountabilty. If you are all knowing please save me much trouble and time and enlighten as to the error of my ways.

You cant use something thats not proven, to prove something else thats not proven.

I was in a group of travelling Christians during the year 1970's.
We have encountered a young fellow who's holding a book that seems a ufo book.
He started talking with us and telling us stories about the bible and ufo connection.
He seems like a schitzo to me or maybe an overexcited person who happened to know the ufo subject.
We tried to elude this person but i think i was like him.
I am seeing my own person with him.

Was there marijuana involved?

Never tried it in my life or any kinds of drugs except paracetamol.
But i have tried sorcery.

Are you telling me you weren't in a VW bus full of hippies smoking weed?
What kind of 70's were you living in.

Are you telling me you wanted to have a fight with me?

I had absolutely no idea the subject was so vast thank you for the link I will study this matter diligently,as I only just the other night had an encounter of the fifth kind. Maybe it was only a shooting star although I think not as it did not behave as one usually does and was not linear in trajectory. Much to be learned with so little time.....

I have to agree with this..If you contunie to read the text that follows , then its kinda self-explanatory..

...yesssss.. NO!

I'm sorry you thought it was "rude" - wow. It was nothing more but just presenting the fact of what the vision was about. I used NO put down words or phrases. I did NOT even address anyone specifically. I just presented the fact of what the vision was addressing and that it was NOT about UFO's or Aliens is all. So if this is 'rude' to you, then I suggest you 'toughen up' a little. Because there is not one negative or rude or anything else phrase or words in the post. It was just 'matter of fact', nothing more and nothing less.

thank you Primeval

You can use something that is not proven.
Who wants to try?
