Other life?

Do you mean beings with rational souls made in the image of God?

Or do you mean dumb animals?

I do not believe there is life on other planets, so I did not vote. Adam was created after all the universe was, this includes all other stars and plants. Adam was the first man, and by that one man sin was brought into all creation (this incudes the universe and all that is in it). We are all under the curse of sin because of Adam. It does not make sense that God created life on other planets - they would be under sin if there were, because of the orginal sin.

No matter what, it would not shake my faith in God, however I do not believe in life on other planets. Jesus died for the sins in this world.

I agree :whistling:

Why would God need to tell us about all his creations, who are we to think we are important enough to have God report to us about what he does.

Hey Miss Elly...you bring up some interesting things that got me thinking...

First, we are "all" aware that the word "all" doesn't necessarily mean "all." Especially in the bible. So my question to you is...was sin brought into "all" creation, because I don't think that rings true. Secondly, doesn't the bible say that sin was brought into the world (not "all" creation)? That would be quite a distinction. Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world...

Not trying to argue...I promise...you just got me thinking...

Well, there are Seraphim, Cherubim, Arc Angels..... I don't know where they live, but I read in several places that there are really a bunch of them. I would not surprise me at all if some of them lived on other planets

I'm glad to hear that most of you would not be affected by such a find. I do know that so called science is always trying to make earth and us look like we are unimportant in the grand scheme of things. And Yes I have heard of the theory that Human were seeded by space aliens. Its possible that in the near future since evolution has so many holes in it.

that this is the next adult fairy tail that we will be subjected to. Who knows they may even try to claim that the anti-christ is from another planet.

I do not know how long that man has been dwelling on this earth. But the theory that claims the humans have been seeded by space aliens. :cool: This lie I "suspect" comes from (Genesis 6) where the angels came down from heaven and layed with the woman of the earth. God caused a flood to come on the earth were eight souls were saved. There are those who believe in the Seth lineage from where the giants came from but that is not true and those who believe this theory also look to the Nephinims to confirm that theory because the Nepinims were tall.

The word plainly tells us that the angels came down from heaven, leaving their first estate and layed with the woman on earth at that time in history. But from that time there has been many who following the lineage of Seth. I have heard also that this lineage is referred to as the devils lineage.

Thing is there will never be angels coming down and laying with any of the woman of the earth again. As God destroyed them for what they done. There is no way that humans have been seeded by space aliens and as a result of that mating space aliens will be born in this universe.

I think if this theory was true we would have have seen space aliens way before now. If this world dwelt with those rebellious angels so long a go then these so called space aliens would have already manifested themselves.

It sounds so foolish that the space aliens are suppose to be living on other planets that has not been discovered yet but they have seeded with the humans now something is definatly wrong with that picture. I got carried away a little but liked your post.

I'm with you there as our faith must remain in the one and true living God.

Why would God need to tell us about all his creations??

Our Heavenly Father along our Christian walk has given us to us certain knowledge to every one of God children and in this truths we have roots. But if we are studying those truths we've been given we will only grow more deeper into what we already know and our roots will just grow deeper in those truths and this just keeps on going through the years.

Now answering your question, Why would God need to tell us about all of his creation??

There are things that God hasn't ever told us about, all of the things that he created and things that we can only catch a glimse into those things. I'm reminded of the scriptures in the book of.......................1 Corinthians & Isaiah 64:4

1 Corinthians 2:9--But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love God.

Isaiah 64:4--For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, What he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

God doesn't have to share one thing with us if he chooses not too but I'm so glad that he did so I could know the way of salvation for one. I love to read and learn all I can about the place I'll spend eternity at. I am so glad for the knowledge that God has given to us in the bible that contains the truth.

who are we to think we are important enough to have God report to us about what he does??

I think some of this was explained above. Those who have accepted Christ as their Saviour as the blood washed away their sins believe he died and rose again have been given eternal life by the Word being preached it is those who entered into the family of God and you have a heavenly Father that cares for his children. He gave us the knowlege in the word so we could know of Him to know he is our provider and so on. God has given us the knowledge how to walk in a way that pleases him because he set us free to do so by breaking the bondage of sin for us and now we can choose which way we want to walk which we didn't have that choice before as we were held captive by Satan. But Christ set us from bondage and gave all

set free a choice you can walk in the sins of sin or you can choose to walk according to the Spirit of God and Christians should choose the ways of God and not go back to choosing sins again.

Those who think they are unworthy of such knowledge that God would give us a record of all that he does. I've already answered this above but God has made you worthy of his truth even gave the Spirit to lead us unto all truth. Jesus died so we could have the knowledge of God in which he gave.

All the way back to the beginning God gave man a record of the things (not all knowledge that God has). Look at........................................

Genesis 2:4-25---(God gives mankind record of what he did in the beginning and also what man did. I am glad to have this knowlege so I want believe in evolution.

1 John 5:7-8--For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. vs 8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Please don't think we are disqualified to have any of the knowledge that we have been given to us for it did not come cheap we all have to accept what has been given.

Blessings

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
