No common sense is the enemy of faith.

I'm still confused. What does it mean in the context of someone like myself who is a skeptic concerning flying saucers?

I am just pointing out one of God’s principals. We live by faith not by our common sense. You seem to have pride in your common sense. Both common sense and pride have their problems. Faith looks outward to God and common sense looks inward to self. Quix has faith in God, I know this by his fruits. We believe in the rapture and an end time one world government. UFOs, ETs and principalities and powers in the air may not make common sense but could in fact be tools of Satan in these end times. I definitely am not quick to dismiss Quix and what God is revealing to him.

Basically it means they want to tell you what to think.

Under pure Christian Doctrine, logic is the enemy of Faith. Logic is a form of common sense, isn't it?

You and I have sparred on other threads, to and fro, so to speak. I am most concerned about those who would dictate what you aught to think. Those who shrug and say, "beats me", seem to be the most thoughtful.

Personally, I just don't buy the crap about ETs being Satan's minions. I think ETs are part of the family. This I base on the idea that God Created us out of love, both as an object of love and a source of love. Why would be build such an immense neighborhood, and then populate only one backwater planet on the rim of nowhere?

Be advised, this is just my humble theory. I've been studying this stuff since the late 1970s. There seem to be good ETs and bad ETs, just like with people. As luck would have it, it would appear our esteemed leaders are working with the wrong team. Just like everything else they do, right?
