Question about xtian beliefs?

Question

If life is found on other planets or outside our galaxy, what becomes countradicted in the xtian way of life? Does this violate the bible or something? I keep hearing the xtian way of life does not support life other than on earth.

Answer 1

Christian.

IT's CHRISTIAN. I am a CHRISTIAN.
Can you not say CHRIST?

Now, what is your question?

Answer 2

John 20:30-31
30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may[a] believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

You may be wondering why I am bringing up this Scripture, allow me to explain.

This points out that not everything Christ did while on earth is recorded within the Gospels or the Bible in general. Obviously this is speaking specifically of Christ, but I do believe we can draw this conclusion out of this passage: Not everything God has done has been recorded in the Bible or elsewhere. If everything Jesus had done was not written down, then we can be sure that not everything God has done was not written down.

So no, life outside of our own Galaxy does not change the views of myself or any other Christians I know. God never said that there wasn't life anywhere else, He just chose not to address the issue.

Answer 3

I have thought about this alot, as a christian. It isn't so much life on other planets, but aliens so to speak, like anothe race of aliens. There are countless numbers of angels and demons, so who know where they live. Perhaps there are colonized planets of God's helpers. But I don't believe there might be little green men or other humans developing on another planet. If so, they wouldn't be perfect, and they would have needed a savior too, and Christ was the only one that fulfilled that, and he didn't mention them. I wouldn't say that it would totally contradict the Bible, since the Bible doesn't say there isn't life anywhere, but it would cause many christians to reexamine things since something of that magnitude wasn't mentioned. Since we beleive in creation and not spontaneous generation then that means there were two creations, somethign that should have beeen mentioned. Liek I said, it wouldn't make me a non-beleiver, but I woulld be doing some questioning.

Answer 4

The Bible tells us about the people here on this earth. But, it doesn't say that there is no life anywhere else. So, if life is found in other galaxies, it would still not affect Christians on this earth.

We can't limit God. He is all powerful. If He wanted to created other worlds, He very well could. Peace.

Answer 5

What you say you're hearing is NOT coming from any Christian with an IQ higher than that of a begonia, dear.

There is NOTHING in Scripture about other planets, other lifeforms.

Scripture is all about God's relationshiip with US. Naturally people would be more interested in whatever impacts upon THEM. So anyone else is not considered.

That does NOT mean that there is no one else to be considered, only that there was no one else at the time who'd be interested in any others.

Look at it this way. God is infinite. That gives Him plenty of room to create stuff, including life-supporting planets that are supporting life, even sapient life.

God is eternal. That gives Him plenty of time to allow evolution to do its schtick according to the Laws of Physics He laid out in the beginning, including the evolution of sapient life forms on other worlds.

God is omniscient. That means He's got the smarts to take advantage of His infinity and His eternity and make lots and lots of folks capable of knowing Him and loving Him. Given that He IS love, it hardly makes any sense at all to limit Himself to two (angels and humans) sapient species to give and receive that love, now does it?

Answer 6

those who die as unbelievers gained't spend eternity with God. it really is in spite of ways they die as unbelievers. that's no diverse in the adventure that they are knocked down by using a bus and die rapidly, die on the operating table, in a coma, of their sleep in an armchair, drown in the sea or something else. it really is the reason we would want to always stay each day as if it were our very last day on earth and be sure that we are proper with God NOW. None human beings comprehend if we can nonetheless be alive in 2 minutes time. A truck ought to come with the help of my window and kill me as I kind this, you need to die in a house hearth before the day is over, someone expensive to you'll nicely be murdered in the subsequent hour. We only do no longer comprehend how a lot longer we each and each and every might want to stay or how our existence will end. Our modern-day health and prerequisites have surely no longer something to do with it. Get proper with God now, settle for His Son as YOUR Saviour and also you'll end stressful about such issues.

Answer 7

I think that if it was important for us to know about the other planets, it would be in the Bible. But the life in other planets does not contradict the Bible. Everything is not recorded in the Bible.

Answer 8

Christians, like myself believe that God created the heavens and the earth. The universe...Why couldn't He have created more than one planet full of people. That is narrow thinking for anyone to assume we are it....

Answer 9

I'm a christian, I've read the bible, and it doesn't state anywhere that alien life is not possible. You should read Taylor Caldwell's, "Dialogues with the Devil", its a fantastic book about this very topic.

Answer 10

We believe in an all powerful, all knowing God and if God chose to create life on other planets, who are we to question. With God, all things are possible.

Answer 11

You can search high and low all you want but you wont find life in other planets. I guarantee it
