Yup, the whole incident smells of set up, someone trying to play gotcha with The Vicar. Homo degenerates are prone to do that now, very publicly.

Actually, this hypothetical is a good exercise in that it is requiring us to re-evaluate our knowledge and belief about salvation and Jesus sacrifice for us. His sacrifice is solely for the descendants of Adam. If some other folks in some other universe is under some curse because thier “adam” sinned, then they too will have a savior. Except according to the bible there is only Jesus.
This begs many questions, some of which strike at whether there can be any other creatures in the known universe and our reality that need such a savior.
But more importantly, the discussion forces us to see what He says in His word about our salvation.
That is a good thing.

Well, he is, after all, infallible.... Only in matters of faith and morals.
But I remain steadfastly refusing to engage in discussions (arguments) on "faith threads."
Insanity, in varying degrees, is simple much more common than commonly accepted.

What if God sent Jesus, in their form, to that race? Are you saying God couldn’t do that?

God can even create a rock that He cannot lift. He can do anything.
Wait...
To: marthemaria
They'd have to ask. As an ethnic religion, the Catholic Church doesn't proselytize.
At least the converted aliens wouldn't see their former traditions vilified constantly in Catholic media, as one fundamentalist convert did.

But if there were to be aliens, God is God in their world as well.And since Adam and Eve and original sin are just allegories, they'd need baptism just as bad as anyone else.[/sarcasm]

What you are really arguing is that there can’t be life created in God’s image anywhere else.
That’s an interesting argument against ET’s.
To: Zionist Conspirator
And I will add, that if there is life out there also created in God’s image, they did not fall, according to what you are saying.
To: ifinnegan
What you are really arguing is that there cant be life created in Gods image anywhere else.What I'm saying is that any intelligent life not descended from Adam would not have "fallen" with Adam, and would not need chrstian salvation at all.
Thats an interesting argument against ETs.
No, it's simply another argument against the mythologization of Genesis 1-11, which is what all the fuss about ET's is.

Wormholes are more than a theoretical construct.
Sure, they are more than theoretical, but still useless for travel purposes. LOL!
I don't accept it, so I cannot comment it.
Until someone demonstrates it as a physical reality.
Before getting too excited, however, please accept that responding "you haven't the capacity to understand it" is the classic tool of the delusionally insane, too.

So you are saying there could be ET’s created in God’s image, but they would not have fallen - could not have fallen.
