Did God make life on other planets?

[Strickalator]

I have often pondered this question as to whether we are alone in the universe or not. Because if we are not then did Jesus die on the cross for the people on other planets too...was there a Jesus on those planets being crucified at the same time that ours was here on Earth or did it cover the entire sins of the universe the fact that jesus died and rose again heree on Earth. We see evidence of bacterial life on Titans moon and evidence of past life now dead on mars. So was god experimenting with life before he perfected earth or is it something else?

I don't question the sovernty of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit but I would like to think that we are not alone and there exists other beings like us in someway and that aliens are not demons as some people think but merely just another species.

Your thoughts please?

Like a plan A, and a plan B?

I can't see the need for the creator of the universe to have experimental worlds. I think He knows what He's doing.

Basically scripture is silent on this topic, so anything we say would be strictly speculative

[Gerioke]

I used to think the same way. But as time went on and with the minimal studies of scripture that I have done, I have decided that He is the God of one universe with one plan to bring humanity home. There may be some space viruses or cosmic crustaceans out there but I believe the human race is the only race with a soul, able to have relationship with the most high.

well said Gerioke

i don't know. like someone else said, scripture is silent on this, so all we can do is speculate. but when i get to heaven, i'll be sure to ask!

Of perhaps other planets he did differently,

No salvation except for being earned on one, what on another people did not sin and stayed at the garden of eden level

Perhaps he merely destroyed them like us on the flood but did nto save any.

We have our relatonship with God the way we know him, and the way he has made hisself known to us.

Anything else can be anything or nothing.

I do believe God created life at various places in the universe. There are vague references to other life. I believe God only created beings which possess a spirit on earth. There can only be one plan of atonement. Adam's sin did not merely unleash the curse on the planet earth, it unleashed it on the universe.

I don't believe the scriptures say anything about a cursed universe. Or is this the gospel according to Issac Asimov

Well, if there is life on other planets, and that would be a really big "IF". It is altogether possible that the Eve of that planet laughed at old Lucifer and told him to go away....... Now how would that have changed history?

I think of it this way. Paul describes in 2Cor 12 v 2 where he was caught up to the third Heaven. The first heaven is Earths atmosphere, 2nd heaven is space,universe; the third Heaven is where Jesus and God reside. I don't see anything mentioned about beyond that.LNJ
