Extraterrestrials

[Marilyn C]

The New Heavens and New Earth gets rid of any such speculation.

[Logostician]

Why would extraterrestrial life affect what I already know to be true?  I don't know if there is life anywhere else in the universe.  I also don't know the precise workings of the smallest subatomic particles in a single atom.  And neither do the most learned scientists in the world.  But I know Jesus.  He created the universe and will create a new universe.  If there is extraterrestrial life, it will come to end, as it will in the world we live in, and at the same time.  Whether any of this life will partake in the second creation depends on the existence of a relationship with Jesus, as it does with us.

Revelation 21:1

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away...

John 10:16

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

This verse refers to jews and gentiles.  But if Jesus has others created in the image of God on other planets in the universe, that he has called, and are his sheep of different folds, that's fine with me.  Although I think it is highly unlikely.

[Desopixi Seilynam]

The idea that the sun is a star among millions of other stars in 'outer-space'
is an end time deception.

The devil is a liar, extraterrestrials are part of the devils lie.

 

"it grew great against the host of the stars; and it cast down some of the host
to the ground and trampled on them....
he cast down the truth to the ground, and he practiced and prospered."

"by his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand"

Daniel 8:10-12, 25

"with all unrighteous deception among them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth
that they might be saved"
2 Thessalonians 2:10
 

 

In most Bibles the wording of the above passages has been changed,
softening the meaning.
But it still should be clear that deceit,
and deceit related to the stars was prophesied.

The word of God is the truth, some of the casting down
has happened to the very word of God.
Such is prophetically stated above,
and specifically by Peter (2 Peter 3:15-16)
and most specifically at the end of Enoch,
which most don't even view as scripture anymore.

 

"he shall open his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle
and them that dwell beyond the sky."
Revelation 13:6

 

"and no man has ascended up beyond the sky
except he that first came down from the beyond the sky
even the Son of man which is in heaven"
John 3:13

 

"the whole order of the stars shall be concealed from the sinners...
and they shall error concerning them, and take them as gods"
Enoch 80:7

 

"...And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning 11 their words. But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully -all that I first testified 12 concerning them. Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the 13 wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed." Enoch 104:10-13

 

 

 

I believe that the false prophet, one pretending to be Jesus,
will claim that the truth of everything is that he is the first
being to have 'evolved' on the first 'planet' that 'evolved'.
They will also dismiss the two prophets as being 'humanoid'
'aliens' from another 'planet'; that is why they can fly, they will say.
Generations of literal brainwashing concerning such things will come to the birth.

In my opinion . . . UFOs are spiritual in nature (angelic or demonic) and not alien visitations.

The whole idea of more advanced life visiting us reeks of the evolution fallacy by those seeking to discount the creation narrative outlined in Genesis.

However, there is more hope of finding intelligent life on distant star systems than among college professors in many universities.

I will not bore anyone again with my detailed thoughts. But considering what is happening right now, the first official rung of government disclosures, reports, and congressional investigations, I think you are asking the wrong question about another planet and out there.

Consider revising the question: “What would be the implications of perceived extraterrestrial life manifesting on our planet? “ [panspermia]

Consider what the Bible has to say:

Matthew 24:24 (KJV) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Plural, more than one Antichrist and False Prophet]

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, ² And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; ³ Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Hello LaurenMay, we already know that there is extraterrestrial life out there because of the aliens who are living among us, even now (though "intelligent" life might be a bit of a stretch in some cases). They are, of course, incognito, and part of a government coverup, but once you know what to look for, they're actually pretty hard to miss.

Granted, some are harder to recognize than others are, but some are so easy that you'll wonder how you could have ever mistaken them for anything else (other than extraterrestrials, that is). For instance,

Or how about...............................

Again, sometimes it's hard to recognize them, but other times, not so much

Not purely speculative here. First, no, life elsewhere would not affect my knowledge of God's will for me at all. That knowledge is internal in that it comes through the indwelling of God in me via the Holy Spirit.

Second, there is an origin, an originating point, before time itself where there was nothing but God. The universes that God created through Yeshua God the Son, had a starting point from which it has continually expanded in area, not just an expanding of space but a pushing ever outward beyond space into the nothing, a place beyond the heavens, a void without even space.  

Within space containing the heavens plural, earth is declared under inspiration of God to be God's footstool.  I do think that to be  a literal declaration not simply allegory or figure of speech. Earth is the comfort of God's feet.

I think it unlikely that God has interest or need of more than one footstool. I also think it unlikely He has use for more than the one demonstration of his sovereignty, His wrath and His mercy for angels to behold. Earth's inhabitants being most sufficient  a demonstration of the awesome power of God for angels to behold. (Hebrews 2)

Funny one! However intelligence is not what brings about knowledge of God. Likely  it is easier for those of lesser intelligence to accept the specific call to them by the Holy Spirit than  it is for the  more intelligent, and therefore gain knowledge of the faith of Yeshua that a highly  intelligent person has greater difficulty accepting and then receiving.

..."Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,  and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.  Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."....
