Alien intelligent and sentient life

[tonychanyt]

Disclaimer: This thread is not about angels being alien beings. By aliens, I mean intelligent physical beings that evolved on another planet and have never heard of the good news of Jesus.

The Bible does not assert the existence of intelligent aliens in one way or another. Neither does it exclude its possibility. Mark 16:

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world [G2889]and preach the gospel to all creation.

world G2889. κόσμος (kosmos), Thayer's Greek Lexicon:

3. the world, i. e. the universe

My paraphrase:

Go                   into all the universe and
preach the gospel    to all creation

universe || creation

If there are moral agents on another planet, this will be the updated interpretation of the Great Commission.

As far as the gospel is concerned, aliens on another planet are no different from indigenous people in ancient Australia or China.

"intelligent aliens" you mean fallen angels.

No, I mean physical beings, not spiritual beings.

I believe so-called "aliens" are demonic.

I believe so-called "aliens" are demonic.

They are. Remember in scripture Jesus and the disciples were casting out a lot of demons. The demons came from the Nephilim that perished in the flood. Their bodies died so they were wandering spirits. When they have a body they are super-human in abilities. Without a body, they can't do much.

They want to increase their numbers for their war against God. But I think they are afraid to mate with our women anymore because of how bad God punished them for it the first time. So what do evil people do? Look for a loop hole. If they could do cattle mutilations and gather genetic material, could they clone themselves bodies to inhabit?

That they are actually demons is actually good news. Because Jesus gave us all authority over them in Jesus name, they must obey. Don't ever trust an Alien! Do not invite them in, do not accept gifts from them. Shoot them with large caliber small arms while praying...If you kill their little alien body then they are homeless again!

What makes you think that a spiritual being can not have a physical body?

Remember after Jesus's resurectionn? In the locked room Jesus said touch me for I am no ghost.

WHen Jesus first woke up in the tomb, he had a spiritual body. He did not have to roll back the stone to leave. The Angel rolled back the stone so people could enter and see that He was gone.

He ate fish with them after His resurrection. There are spirit beings without bodies, and spirit beings with bodies.

Jude 6
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day..../KJV

They left their habitattion (body), and did not have spiritual bodies after that. But Jesus did when He woke up. We will too when the rapture happens.

That is awesome!

Sure they can.

There are no aliens because there is no outer space from them to come from. Everything God created sun, moon and stars are placed in the raqia (dome) above the earth, that is holding back an ocean of water.

Depends on how one views angels ... could be viewed as aliens I suppose. However they don't require "space ships" of any kind. They are a different kind of created beings.

War broke out in heaven (the cosmos) .... the rebellious angels were cast to the earth (their final fate awaits them they have been judged - defeated at the cross) ... the war is now on the earth (sin infected mankind) .... and all of mankind will be judged before the return of our Lord.

What other types of beings that are out there is unknown but the cosmos is at peace .... planet earth is the only one left in turmoil and we eagerly await our Lord to end this mess ..... for eternity!

Man, this would make for a cool sci-fi plot. Imagine if humans sent out a signal of the Bible and movies about Jesus into space, and then 500 years later, the inhabitants of say, "planet Xanadu" receive the signal, become Christian and send a spacecraft to visit earth. Ok, I'll walk out... This is part of my mediocre sci-fi plot called the Xanadu Wastelands, one part is set in the year 1909 on that planet, another in 1996, while I have yet to make the part set in the year 2573.

But yeah, if we meet any alien life (assuming ET exists), we must first establish communication, which would be a difficult barrier to overcome, but may be possible using symbols and eventually, translation devices.
