Black Spirituality Religion : Aliens and Christianity

Can orthodox Christians accept the idea of the possible existence of alien beings with human-like intelligence?

Isn't the Bible already full of those types of entities? Basically, beings foreign (alien) to terrestrial life and either have human-like ways and intelligence or even super-intelligence and powers.
 
That's an interesting yet tricky question. Tricky because of the dichotomy between what orthodox christians believe and what the bible actually says. Orthodox christian belief is based on traditions formed at a time when it was illegal for a layman to read the bible. Even though christians are now encouraged to read the bible they are often still subtlely conditioned to believe that it can only be truly understood by a handful of specially anointed clergy. So there is a vast difference between what is believed to be in the bible and what IS in the bible.

True, belief in aliens and UFOs in their popular definition would be frowned on as heresy by orthodox christians. However, Jesus said he has sheep in another fold and no one really knows what he meant. Also the bible says when he returns he will gather to himself all things on earth and in heaven suggesting again that his work on the cross was not just for terrestrials.

Looking at the old testiment we see what could very well be space ships. We see flaming chariots carrying people up into heaven. It could be that they were calling space ships chariots just like people called locomotives horseless buggies.

Sooooo an orthodox christian could believe in aliens if he/she broke away from tradition and looked at what the bible actually says. But then they would no longer be orthodox would they.
