Christianity would unravel with ETs because they would be dying and could not receive the Gospel because they are unrelated to Jesus Christ. The reason why Christ can save us is because He is our kinsman redeemer, having been a descendant of Adam in His human nature. Also, Jesus did “once for all” on the cross, so that precludes Him from going to other planets to die for ETs. The whole thing would make the problem of evil unsolvable from a Christian perspective.
Are you joking. Is not God big enough? How do you know that ETs are not also decendants of Adam. How do you know that Christ was not dying on one million crosses at the same time. You have no idea of what God is capable of.

The Bible is the sole infallible source of the Truth. All Truth is consistent with the Scriptures, and since the Scriptures are the sole infallible source of the Truth, then it follows that we must judge all purported truth by Scriptural teaching.
Biblical mysteries are those things that God keeps to Himself. We will only find them out if and when He chooses to reveal them to us.

Two things are for certain- there is infinitely more proof of the existence of God than of any alien life, and often the beliefs of individuals are restricted to belief in one entity or the other. So while most are waiting for Jesus (or their own God) to arrive, others are waiting for aliens instead.
Having personally witnessed some of God’s minor miracles myself, and undertaken my own decades-long investigation into ET life (including unexplained sightings), I’m of the belief that there’s more evidence that the so-called aliens we’re now being subjected to are fallen angels, who have shifted their form to match the times.
For example, why weren’t there many reports of flying saucers back in the days of the Civil or Revolutionary Wars? Or as some must believe, the aliens just coincidentally completed that technology, or just completed their journey here. Right.
And what of all the abductees, many of which say their abductors attacked their belief in Christ, and/or vanished when Jesus name was spoken? They supposedly came all that way, jut to tell us that? More likely they have been here all along.
to my knowledge.
That’s the key. No HUMAN is without sin. No reason to believe one way or another about some NON-son-of-Adam.
Deliver us from evil is right! I'm thankful I've never seen any UFO-type things nor has anybody in my family admitted to having seen any.

That may or may not include creatures he created on other planets. Again, I see nothing in scripture that precludes the possibility.
I’m not limiting God. If God wanted to, He could have made a billion planets with life on them. However, what He has told us in the Holy Writ is simply incompatible with that. Jesus could not have died on a million crosses at the same time, not because God is limited, but because man is limited, and Jesus was a real life human being in addition to His Divinity. If He was dying on a million crosses, then He wasn’t human, and if He wasn’t human, then He isn’t our Redeemer.
As for ETs being descendants of Adam, I do not even know what to make of that. Based on what evidence? It surely doesn’t come from the Bible, wherever it comes from.
LOL! Ok. Not that I buy any of your logic, just acknowledging that you have a point of view different from mine. We can agree to disagree on this one.
Precisely.
Where does it say that man on earth was His only experiment?
ISSA 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together; and a little child will lead them. 7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den, the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. 9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Now I am not dogmatic about any of this. I clearly say we can’t KNOW one way or another.
But where is my LOGIC in error?
On EARTH, as a consequence of God and man healing our rift.
ET’s interacting with people on Earth is a COMPLETELY different issue. Scripture clearly tells us Jesus dealt, harshly, with non human entities here.
The possibility that I am talking about is that life exists on other planets. Planets that God has DELIBERATELY put beyond our ability to connect with.
As someone who is a bible fundamentalist, if there were “others”, God would have mentioned them in His word. He didn’t, therefore there isn’t. So, to me, your logic is contrary to Gods word. And with the same breath, my logic probably eludes you. That is why I said we have to agree to disagree or at least ... move on.
Not necessarily.
The Ori is Christianity of the Pegasus sector.
I thought everybody knew that.
All right friend. Be well.
And you as well.
