Bible talks about Satan and Jesus coming from the heavens like lightning. Do Christians worship meteorites?

Question

Are their "heavenly beings" just your everyday celestial objects?

Answer 1

I have started reading into UFO phenomena, and they have claims that certain things from the Bible fit the criteria for UFOs. Not that I subscribe, but the arguments for this idea are very convincing.

Answer 2

The Bible does not speak of Satan AND Jesus coming from heaven like lightning: it says that SATAN fell from heaven like lightning. And Christian do not worship Satan.

Answer 3

if i told you "yes", would you believe me? if i told you "no", would you believe me?

unofficial answer: Yes, ALL "Christians" worship meteorites.

official answer: i would suppose that a very small percentage of what is commonly referred to as "Christians" actually worship meteorites. However, I've never met one who does. Remember, your context indicates the use of a similie...."a comparison using "like" or "as". I believe that the Bible is comparing Jesus (and Satan) to things that you and I, as humans, can relate to. Since we've never seen Jesus or Satan, we don't know what they truly "look" like. But I haven't seen the wind either. I simply take the "risk" that wind exists based upon its effects. In other words, I concede that just because my 5 physical senses cannot "sense" something, doesn't mean that it doesn't necessarily exist.

Answer 4

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 5

I don´t think they do, they worship a creator.

Meteorites were awe inspiring and did influence various cultures in various ways, true.

The difference is that the Bible is full of prophecies that actually happened, events are proven through other ancient books written in the same era.

Answer 6

No Christians don't, & you have to undertand the bible to know what it is talking about & not just take something out of context to try to make a revelation out of it.
