If we were to discover intelligent life somewhere in the universe, would christians preach to these aliens? Even if they were so vastly different in philosophy and being that we could hardly recognize them, would you still try? And what would be the ramifications of this on christianity. Would they all have been doomed to hell for the thousands of years before christianity discovered and were able to try and convert them? Doesnt seem quite fair to the aliens frankly, or do Aliens not have souls, in which case, how could they be intelligent. Maybe their devils or incarnations of satan or something?

Since God created the universe, and we were originally made in the image of God, and Jesus took on the form of man,
my guess is the aliens would look like us and Jesus would also pay them a visit.

Some people believe that aliens (the big-eyed ones)
are evil spirits. If you trace the history of cultural beliefs in demons, these supernatural beings had freedom of choice, knowledge of the past, unbeatable powers, the ability to shapeshift --even into familiar people-- and the ability to communicate to the mind without audible sounds.
In most Christian doctrine, demons are compared with fallen angels. Normally we think that angels and demons have no free choice, but if they didn't, there would be no fallen ones.
There's an interesting passage in Enoch's writings, where he sees a dimensional plane where the fallen angels are contained, and he pleads with God to give them another chance.

I've read somewhere on a Christian (yet somewhat conspiracist) site that when aliens visit us, they are in fact physical incarnations of demons/fallen angels. To me this makes sense, since plenty of non-Christians believe in aliens and some even devote their lives to finding them.
My dad reckons that there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that true aliens exist. But, I'm not so sure. There's a chance that they very well might.
I'll have to think on this matter a little more.

Many already claim aliens have visited us...they're probably hiding something in Area 51 but it could all be an elaborate lie from the pits of hell. Yeh I used to believe in aliens too..well sorta...it just seems possible. I'm not so sure now...I have a different view of the universe now...

The History Channel just aired a show about Japanese UFO reports around 1200 AD. Here's a similar time line.

..called to BE a Saint
Aliens, if there is such a creature, would either be held in bondage to sin, under law..
Or in bondage to Righteousness, under Grace..
The Word of God created all things, and by His being they have thier being.. If He were to withdrawl His breath all creation would perish!
All the world [all creation] is witness to the need of a Saviour..
Jesus is this Saviour!
He is the One which God sent!

Our universe and planet are rare, indeed. Even the position of our planet and solar system in the galaxy positions us to see the rest of the universe and the inner core of the Milky Way. By being midway from the center, aproximately, we benefit in having the heavey metals to produce a planet with a molten core that gives magnetic flow. We are centered between the spokes of cosmic dust that would hinder any exploration and knowledge of what God has to show us of Himself. He has set it all before us so that He could reveal Himself to us, His creation, and the day is coming for those that love Him, that they will know as they are known. A good day that will be.
Aliens are demons and fallen angels directed by the "prince of the world" satan. Don't believe in him either?? Well, we have been warned that it is not flesh and blood that we fight against, but principalities and powers in high places - like the devil, who runs this world system through his inspiration of greed, merchandise, lust, hatred, and jealous envy.
If someone showed up with a spaceship full of aliens tomorrow, I would not follow them into the desert....
Eph 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh–and–blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

LoL! I wouldn't either...but I don't know if Aliens are fallen angels or whatnot...all I know is that humans and angels are the only creatures created by God who have sinned. Animals don't sin. Plants don't sin.

Our pastor gave the funniest sermon a few weeks ago, claiming that dogs don't sin, but cats do. "You will never see a verse in the Bible about cats going to heaven."
(-; Long story.

I doubt there are aliens out there to begin with, and I make this inference from both a scientific and theological perspective. There are lots of stars out there, yes, but the earth is one of the most rarest (if not the only) circumstance(s) that could support life. There are tons of factors in this: its placement in the solar system, unusually thin atmosophere, magnetic core (a very unique mix that protects us from radiation), crust activity, sun type, chemical compositions, pressure, gravity, size, planetary composition, ice age cycle, distance, water quantity, lunar counterweight (without it our winds would reach 400mph), galaxy type, placement within that galaxy, etc. etc.. It's amazing when you go through the details: even Jupiter, a rare planet formation that is almost always a bad planet to have in a solar system, protects the Earth by keeping back hordes of astroids and meteorites (we'd have 1,000-10,000x more collisions without it). Even if we found another planet like Earth, there would still have to be the genesis of life (which man himself has so far failed to prove it could be created materialistically).
I know it's a "what if" question, but really, the existance of aliens in the first place is hard to establish by both science and what we know of God's promises (i.e., the existance of the universe and its laws hinges on God's judgements of Earth, God creating man, etc.).
At least to me, asking that about aliens is like asking "what happens if dogs could suddenly talk" or "what happens if the world suddenly bursts into flames" ...it's just a moot point. What if? I don't know. I don't think it could ever happen. If it ever did happen, it would depend on the alien's own belief system and knowledge of science, so I really can't answer that.

There are people that think that the Nephilim of Genesis may be used in a last great deception by the antichrist who would reintroduce them as aliens. Nephilim were the spawn of the fallen angels and the daughters of man, giants among men, spoken of in Genesis 6, and possibly being the reason God destroyed all of mankind except for Noah and His family.The generations of Noah were "perfect", and it could have been possible that the devil had tried to prevent the seed of man from bringing forth the Savior by corrupting the entire seed of mankind that would lead to the birth of Jesus, except for Noah's.
Chuck Misslar has several good reads that make this speculation:

I just looked quickly at Missler's theories on a return -- have you heard more than he says, or do you have any other insights on it?

Misslar has the best information and specualtion on this subject that I have seen. I see it as a "heads up" for us to not be deceived by aliens that show up in advanced machines of some sort. Nor should we be ready to go into the desert seeking Jesus as He warned us when someone heralds His appearing there.
He has those videos and a tape cassette booklette I listened to. I wish they would put that stuff out for free, but they don't......costs too much, I suppose...
The last link has a ram (real audio) snippet from the cassette tapes update.

He's on TV sometimes, but I never know when... I should check his site more often.
LOL... yeah, cracking the sidewalks and imploding the sky. That would keep us entertained.
