Christians: If aliens are proven to exist, are they all going to hell because they don't know Christ?

Answer 1

and athiests think we're the ones who believe in fairy tales.

Answer 2

I cut your question up because I saw the need to make a few things clear.
"If aliens are proven to exist, are they all going to hell "
Jesus didn't die for aliens. All the aliens are not covered by the sacrifice of Jesus. I believe in aliens and I figure that they are of two types, those that took part in the rebellion, and those that didn't. Those that took part in the rebellion are condemed and there was no sacrifice for their sins, according to the Bible anyhow.

"are they all going to hell because they don't know Christ? "
No. Those that are going to Hell are condemned because they took part in the rebellion. They all know Chirst, they are either those that are still a part of God's kingdom, or they are a part of Satan's kingdom.

Answer 3

The Bible was written for those of us on earth. We messed up in the beginning.

If aliens existed, they might've gotten it right, and didn't need a Savior.

Contrary to what Freddy F said, people of the earth who are without Christ, are doomed to hell. There is no other way to the Father except through Him. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) If anyone is trusting in any other way, it won't lead to the Father.

Answer 4

But they do know him. What is more alien to our existence than the Angels. They exist as intelligent forms of energy on a different plain of existence, crossing over as needed. Even the fallen angel know Christ, as he was the one to declare judgment on them and toss them out of Heaven and back to the vicinity of the Earth.

Answer 5

Humans need Christ because his sacrifice pays the debt for their sins, because they are a fallen race, born into fallenness since Adam. If God created a hypothetical "alien race" and they remained faithful to him as Adam and Eve did not, there would be nothing separating them from God, and I suppose no need to know Christ as we do.

Some might assume, though, that any being given true free will eventually will fall into sin. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." But others might point to the angels that did not rebel and continue to serve faithfully. It leads to questions as to what the differences are in the moral capacities of men and angels, whether angels have true free will in the way we do.

Anyway, hypothetics aside, I don't think God ever put other races on other planets. He tells us constantly in His word how valuable we are - what is it that creates value but scarcity? Grains of sand are "dirt cheap", but comparatively rare diamonds are valued. If there sentient, human-like, created races scampering all over the universe, why would God value us so highly?

Either way, the existence of aliens and their state before God wouldn't change OUR relationship to him.

Answer 6

Odds are, they'll have their own religious heritage that tells them we're all going to their equivalent hell. Try reading some Allen Dean Foster - it's fun and an enlightening perspective. Especially the Humanx trilogy, Glory Lane and Quozl.

Answer 7

Why would God only give us His word if He had created other life on other planets? We might not be the center of the universe like we seem to think we are. Personally, I don't believe in ET's, but if they did exist, there's no reason to think God didn't contact them too.

Answer 8

Maybe the aliens are waiting on stand-by untill all the seperating work is done. Just kidding.

Answer 9

Well, it depends on whether or not they have ears, because you know the first thing they'll hear when they land will probably be a sermon on how they must embrace Christ.

Answer 10

Aliens do exist. They're the ones who mow my lawn on sunday.

Answer 11
