Yes, you would think that would come up sooner.
That was the first thing I though of when I saw the thread title... As He says in John 10: “I have sheep in other pastures of which you are unaware...”
This is very interesting GL, since Jesus died for this world and not the Universe....He would have to become an alien to redeem them otherwise........
“The earth is unique in the Scripture where the cosmic drama of good and evil are manifest.... It is all centered on planet earth where the human soul is the prize which God and Satan are battling for.
The gospel is for mankind who are sinners, not for beings on other planets, Jn. 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son ... that the world through him might be saved that world is planet earth’s inhabitants. ......”Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners which essentially means on our planet”....... That the God who created all things became a man.” I Tim 1:15 “he is the propitiation ... for the sins of the whole world, not the universe’...... God made only one way for God to forgive any sinners it is paid by God himself becoming one of them.......
It is for this reason Jesus had become a man to redeem us. He would have to become one of the aliens to redeem them. Then it hardly makes sense to have this same process repeated on countless other planets throughout the cosmos..... So that every different creature that needs salvation he would need to become each kind to redeem them. .......This becomes a antichrist doctrine described in I John 4:1-3 Christ has come in human flesh ( a human species) and continues in the same body forever.
If they did not sin they would all be like Jesus. Which destroys the uniqueness of the “only begotten son.”
How many times would Christ need to give his life to redeem other civilizations? Each time he would have to become that species since that is the very reason he became man and not something else...... Biblically Jesus Christ is the only Savior, and His death was done once as the only perfect sacrifice for sins ever offered in the universe (Heb. 9:23-28; 10:12-14).
The scriptures over and over repeat the reconciling of humanity all through Christ that occurs on planet earth Christ died only once and would never be repeated for another species..... (Eph.1:7,10 Phil.2:10 Col.1:2 Rev.5:9,13) The scripture speaks of the gospel preached to all of the world, not to all the universe!
If other types of morally responsible life existed elsewhere in the universe they would have a right of choice just as Adam did..... And if they made the wrong choice they would require salvation just as Adam did. They would need redemption by believing in Christ for salvation. Since sin would have affected their world as well as the universe just like Adams did.
