Do the holy scriptures teach or imply that space aliens exist?

The Liturgist said:
Christ is not extra-Terrestrial. He is fully God and fully Man, both natures being united without change, confusion, separation or division. And when He does return, all the dead shall be raised incorruptible and He shall judge us, and according to the Creed, His Kingdom shall be without end.

God our Father is extraterrestrial / Christ is extraterrestrial who lived in a terrestrial body for 33 and a half years.

Deny the definition of the word EXTRATERRESTRIAL and how it applies all you want.

Christ is not from this world, our Father is not from this world, the angels are not from this world, the devil is not from this world, nor are any of them made of any elements of this world. That makes them extraterrestrial ACCORDING TO THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD. Christ even said my kingdom is not of this world.

Nor does the word extraterrestrial change or take away the deity of our Father or our Lord. It actually enhances them. And what's been going on shows the existence of life outside of this planet existence of our Lord and our God....... what is God - a supernatural being / spirit / entity who possesses supernatural power not understandable by man (who is not of this Earth, but it's creator.)

Christian who see these truths and accept they are there look upon them as being demons but I see them as Watchers as those were in the Bible.

I have said for a couple of decades most Christians will not understand and feel it takes away or even mocks God, when it does not. Not seeking you to change your views, but I am free to express mine and I am a Christian.

The problem with that statement is threefold: Firstly, Christ is fully God ( John 1:1, Matthew 28:19), so saying “God the Father” and then “Christ” as a separate line item can be problematic (St. Paul uses a similar phrase but makes a point of saying “Our Lord Jesus Christ” which is a direct allusion to Christ’s deity and also of declaring “in Him the fullness of the godhead dwelled bodily” which testifies to the indivisibility of the Holy Trinity - where one member of the Trinity is present, the other two are also present, one cannot separate the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Secondly, Christ in rising from the dead continues to live in a resurrected and glorified Terrestrial body - he did not discard His human nature when He rose from the dead but retained it, as demonstrated by His eating fish, and by the Holy Apostle Paul explaining that He is the first fruits of God, and Him still referring to himself prophetically to as the Son of Man in both a pre-resurrection and post-resurrection context, when speaking of His impending crucifixion, and many other texts. Remember, Christ in His incarnation put on our human nature without change, confusion, separation or division, which is why His crucifixion and resurrection is relevant to us.

Thirdly, God created this world and is the fullness of all qualities and perfections in their highest and ultimate form, to quote St. Basil, in His ineffable divine nature - but this inscrutability does not make HIm from another planet as the Mormons teach. He is the creator of spacetime, the Universe and all worlds that exist therein, and by virtue of His omnipresence in the person of God the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life who is everywhere present and fills all things, He is continually with us on Earth - so not foreign either - no part of His creation can be said to be foreign to Him, which is what extra implies (from without). Rather, our Lord is supraterrestrial, ruling Earth and being everywhere on Earth in the person of the Holy Spirit while having put on our human nature in the person of Christ our True God, as it says in the Nicene Creed, with which you presumably, hopefully agree.

As Christ said my Father and I are one (yet three separate entities) / another division in the church _ some teach one God repositions / others teach three separate entities but one.

Being extraterrestrial does not refute any of what that you just said.

The Church in its divisions have different views on whether Christ is still in a human form in heaven. When he was here on Earth after his resurrection he maintained his human form for the benefit of mankind _ once he rose and went back to heaven he went back to his natural form, his natural state and when he returns he will return in his natural state as John said we will see him as he is..... Now we are sons of God, and it do not yet appear what we shall be, but we know when he shall appear, we will be like him, for we still see him as he is.

1 John 3:2 - Bible Gateway 1 John 3:2 - Bible Gateway

**The Bible does not explicitly say Jesus IS IN HUMAN (glorified) FORM IN HEAVEN.** It only speaks of when he rose towards heaven in human form and he sits at the right hand of God..... That is what the early church began to teach probably also leading to their separation from the teachings of the Church of Asia, who adhere to teachings of Jewish Christians.

And when you go back to the Old testament he APPEARED in what looked like a human body.

The Liturgist said:
Thirdly, God created this world and is the fullness of all qualities and perfections in their highest and ultimate form, to quote St. Basil, in His ineffable divine nature - but this inscrutability does not make HIm from another planet as the Mormons teach.

I didn't say planet - NO where did I mention planet. planets are for this universe / heaven ( and as it is written this heaven and this Earth will pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fibrant heat. The Earth also and the works that are there in shall be burnt up)...... What I will say is: another part of this infinite space - wherever the heavenS are - wherever Christ is preparing a place for those who love him...... wherever God our Father resides; 1st Kings 8:30 - Ecclesiastes 5:2 - Deuteronomy 26:15 - Isaiah 66:1 - Psalms 115:3 11:4 102:19 - Matthew 6:9 - Hebrew 8:1

Extraterrestrial doesn't mean Foreigner / it means not from Earth. And actually extraterrestrial supports He is everywhere, omnipresent / not under the suppression of time. Extraterrestrial does not negate that He is The giver of Life or the Creator of all things.

The Liturgist said:
- no part of His creation can be said to be foreign to Him, which is what extra implies (from without). Rather, our Lord is supraterrestrial, ruling Earth and being everywhere on Earth in the person of the Holy Spirit while having put on our human nature in the person of Christ our True God, as it says in the Nicene Creed, with which you presumably, hopefully agree.

I have always and will always expect the majority of the church to have problems with the word extraterrestrial applying to our Father & our Lord and angels, as I think I said, not asking you to agree or even asking you to understand.

Them being extraterrestrial beings no way in refute anything you've just written even spiritual entities that can appear in human form, or any capability that the angels have are the power that the Almighty Father has.

Though superterrestrial sounds good but implies that it is a terrestrial with supernatural capabilities. Jesus is no longer terrestrial - God our Father has never been terrestrial, nor the angels. Terrestrial is strictly human / of the Earth.

Not in any meaningful sense. God/Jesus are both omnipresent and omniscient, so they are literally everywhere at once and fully cognisant of everything that happens everywhere at any time. To say They're "extraterrestrial" is to confine them to some particular time and place, which simply isn't possible.

And you are obviously free to do the same. But it sticks you with the wholly ridiculous notion that "God ain't from around here", when in fact He's no more or less "from around here" than He is anywhere else in the universe that He created.

Nice try, though.

As I recall He was born in Bethlehem, in Judea. That's Him pretty terrestrial, as well as being God. Wholly God and wholly man, fight? Not a hybrid.

Our Lord Christ is certainly both of and from this Earth. I see no way to believe otherwise. He is wholly God and wholly Man as no Christian may deny..

But if there'sa pont to this thread I'm apparently missing it. Let's try plain speaking with agreed upon meanings. So how about this: rather than seeing how far we can stretch the meaning of a word and still have it mean anything at all, let's assume a specific meaning . My suggestion would be first to assume that "ET" doesn't signify earth, air, fire, and water (that's everything, you see). but has a more restricted , and thrtrfore more useful meaning. So let's exclude, God, in His Three Persons, angels, demons, spirits of any kind, or any other non-material lifeform. There are already terms specific to those beings, so the sake of utility and clear communication, call them by those specific names.

Sir, if I'm right to call you sir this is not a movie script written by the imagination of man for the sole purpose of entertainment, who uses words like ET.
This is real life and the word is extraterrestrial and it seems you want to make a mockery of, go right ahead - extraterrestrial beings / life forms not of this world. And my Lord did say his kingdom is not of this world. Which says there is a physical place where his kingdom is and it has nothing to do with this Earth, which he created.

I wonder how Christians can just ignore this passage when it says what we will be has not been revealed - and goes on to say we will see him as he is.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2 - Children of God

I also wonder how Christians ignore Luke 24:39 where he was still flesh and bone.

Luke 24:39 KJV - Behold my hands and my feet, that it is - Bible Gateway Bible Gateway passage: Luke 24:39 - King James Version

Christians ignore certain scriptures to prove their teachings of a glorified body. Flesh and bone or flesh and blood is the physical body. So it has to be taught Jesus is in a glorified body in order to say he is still a man in heaven, he is No Longer A Man nor Was He A Man before He Was Born Into A Flesh Body. And glorified would have to be used to justify flesh and blood being in heaven.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:50 KJV "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption..." 1 CORINTHIANS 15:50 KJV Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption...

Nor is there a scripture that says Jesus has a glorified body in heaven. There is one that gives reference to his glorious body which is different than glorified, Philippians 3:21.

The more I talk to Christians the more I understand how atheist attain their views of contradictions. Christians throughout the centuries have been so anxious, or lack of full knowledge of scriptures, maybe with a bit of desperation to prove God's existence they've made it so the teachings is botched up. Giving way to more division what is it 45,000 denominations and at least 400 study showed ofactually different denominations with different views of scripture. I see how!

And sometimes Christians just want to debate what they feel is right, I don't and I stand by what I believe - I won't reply to you again on this thread. But because I agree with a lot of things maybe we will meet again on a different thread.

"ET" is what's called an "abreviation, a shorter day of using a long word. For instance, instead of "Tennessee", "TN". Means the same thing. Itt has no arcane "other meaning". "ET" = "extraterrestrial". Which one would you rather type?

truthuprootsevil said:
This is real life

Depends on how you use the word, "extraterrestrin", abbreviated or not. "ET" or "Extraterrestrial", whichever one you prefer, has the popular CONNOTATION of "space man" or "space aliens". You can like that or lump it, bt that is a fact. No one commonly uses the term "ER" or "extraterrestrial" to refer to God or angels, which I suspect you know as well as I do. So using them interchangeably, or trying to, is at best intellectually dishonest. Some groups, who I'll forbear fron naming here, use them as synonym deliberately so as to support their doctrinal beliefs that "aliens" an "ETs" are synonymous with demons or devils. That ignores that there is no evidence that there are actually any "ET aliens" are all.

If you want to rail about (probably nonexistent) spacemen or ETs, say so. Don't try and turn God Himself into a flying saucer driver. The absuedity if frankly borderline blasphemous. "Oh, God is just an ET/Extraterrestrial/alien,spacemen. If you believe that, then your problem isn't with me.

Nope, it was an abbreviation of "extraterrestrial:" The word was around long before before the movie. The film simply popularized it, and to assume that it was a synonym for "space and flying saucers".

As I said I Know what ET stands for - to be clearer the **initials*** initials** ET started when the movie ET came out _ I was not referring to the word extraterrestrial. I've been learning of extraterrestrials for a long time back when they were called Little Green Men / spaceman / aliens from the 1950s.

The phrase ET was never used until the movie ET came out.

And when you're trying to correct someone what they actually said should be relevant but then to some people the only thing that's relevant to them is what they have to say ..... goodbye

That statement is also spectacularly incorrect. Google’s search-integrated AI provides a nice summary of the history of these initials, which their sources trace to 1951 (the search term I used was “can you give me a timeline of the history of the initials ET in media?” if you wish to validate my findings).

The evolution of the initials E.T. (or ET) spans centuries of language shifts, mid-century sci-fi literature, and a massive 1980s pop culture explosion. [1, 2]

The Pre-Sci-Fi Era

1600s: The Latin Roots — The complete word "extraterrestrial" is coined, combining the Latin extra(outside) and terrestris (earthly). It was strictly used as an academic adjective to describe things existing outside Earth. [1]
1951: The Academic Abbreviation — While science fiction literature frequently used the full word "extra-terrestrial" throughout the early 20th century, academic journals and defense research papers began using E.T. as a shorthand code for "Extraterrestrial Life" or "Extraterrestrial Environment." [1, 2, 3]

The Golden Age of Sci-Fi (Print Media)

1950s: Pulp Magazines — Science fiction magazines like Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction started adopting E.T. as a generic print shorthand to describe alien entities, saving valuable page real estate. [1]
1960s: Academic SETI Discourse — Following the launch of Project Ozma (the first systematic search for signs of life in distant planetary systems) in 1960, astronomers and popular science writers like Carl Sagan began using the abbreviation "E.T." in interviews and articles when referencing the statistical probability of alien civilizations. [1]
1979: Stand on Zanzibar — The concept of acronyms and shorthand like E.T. (and other speculative future slang) gained prestige in modern literature, solidifying the initialism among avid science fiction readers. [1]

The 1980s: The Double Media Wave

September 1981: Entertainment Tonight — The daily American entertainment news program launched and branded itself heavily as E.T.. For a brief nine months, the initials "ET" primarily meant Hollywood celebrity news to the general public. [1, 2]
June 1982: Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial — Universal Pictures released Steven Spielberg's classic film. The film didn't just break box office records; it fundamentally shifted the meaning of the initials in the public consciousness. "E.T." transformed overnight from a cold, scientific descriptor or a niche sci-fi abbreviation into a beloved, universally recognized noun referring to a singular, friendly alien character. [1, 2, 3]

Post-1982 to Present

2010: Katy Perry's "E.T." — The initials entered modern music media with Katy Perry’s chart-topping pop track. The song utilized the term as a metaphor for a lover who is "alien" and otherworldly, proving that the abbreviation remains deeply embedded in popular slang. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Would you like to explore the original script differences regarding how the initials were chosen in the 1982 movie, or are you curious about how the 1950s pulp sci-fi magazines first integrated the abbreviation? [1]

As I said I Know what ET stands for - to be clearer the **initials*** initials** ET started when the movie ET came out _ I was not referring to the word extraterrestrial. I've been learning of extraterrestrials for a long time back when they were called Little Green Men / spaceman / aliens from the 1950s.

The phrase ET was never used until the movie ET came out.

And when you're trying to correct someone what they actually said should be relevant but then to some people the only thing that's relevant to them is what they have to say ..... goodbye

No, sir. You are incorrect. It dates to the early 1800s.

AI Overview

The term extraterrestrial combines the Latin words extra ("outside" or "beyond") and terrestris ("of the Earth"). First recorded in the early 1800s, the word was originally used to describe any matter or phenomenon originating outside of Earth's atmosphere, such as space dust or meteorites.

This seems like such an infantile thing to argue about.

No ma'am you did not read what I said with understanding I said ET I didn't say the word extraterrestrial.

Argue, is that what you doing?

And I quote what SCIENCE NEWS writes __ ET an abbreviation made famous by the 1982 Universal Pictures movie ET the Extra-Terrestrial.

That statement is also spectacularly incorrect. Google’s search-integrated AI provides a nice summary of the history of these initials, which their sources trace to 1951 (the search term I used was “can you give me a timeline of the history of the initials ET in media?” if you wish to validate my findings).

The evolution of the initials E.T. (or ET) spans centuries of language shifts, mid-century sci-fi literature, and a massive 1980s pop culture explosion. [1, 2]

Since you find arguing petty crap and minutia edifying, how about this, a year before E.T. was released:

A game of oneupmanship.

Do the holy scriptures teach or imply that space aliens exist?
