Would christians like to spread the word of Jesus to other planets?

Question

A planet just 20 light years away has been discovered which potentially could support life. http://www.smh.com.au/news/science/earth-ii-hunt-planet-found/2007/04/25/1177459752092.html
It leads me to speculate that one day in the distant future, we may encounter another inhabitated world.
While I'm sure that by then, christianity will be a curiosity of history, part of me is curious. If an inhabitated world were found today, would christians wish to save them by bringing the holy spirit into their hearts? Or would your faith be shattered by the discovery that the universe isn't here just for us?

Answer 1

As an old-fashioned creationist Christian, here's an answer that will really make feel nice and superior:

I believe that God created the entire universe. I also believe in an old-fashioned thing called Sin, and that this planet is the only planet that has fallen into sin, and needs a savior.

So, I do believe that there are inhabitants on other worlds, I believe that they know God as their creator and that Jesus died so fallen humanity could live as they do - free of sin!

So, please feel free to have a good laugh.

Answer 2

IF there is wise life on different planets (vast assumption), we do know that life on the earth is tousled. the only reason Jesus had back replaced into to repair the broken human beings. If the determination of Adam have been distinctive, Jesus would have in no way been born to stay a life-time of sacrifice. It wasn't a rely of "propagating his faith" yet a rely of a Father saving his toddlers.

Answer 3

Equivocation is a serious error! The apostate Catholic church of the middle and dark ages condemned Copernicus for contradicting its unscriptural doctrine. This church is not the same as the honest bible believing protestant who has his own copy of God's Word and knows that the doctrine of the earth being the center of the universe to be spurious.

The Bible NEVER claimed that God made no other inhabited worlds. Incidentally, the notion of the Copernican view is being seriously challenged by modern astrophysicists. The earth is in fact VERY special, but not necessarily unique.

I don't think the bible said that any way that the earth was the only place for man!! man has just assumed that from how it was written but not this woman, just one word can change the meaning of a sentence & when the bible was translated to english you must realise mistakes would have been made so........

Answer 5

Weee ^_^ my question was read and my source repeated.

I think it'd be like in that episode of south park where the missionaries build an intergalactic spaceship with the help of the 700 club and go try to spread the word of jesus and get told to leave, lmao.

Answer 6

I don't believe there is possible human life on other planets, so there is no reason to spread the word of Jesus to extraterrestrial life, such as plants, unicellular creatures, etc. God created man in His likeness, that is able to make a logical decision and critical thinking. Man is the one He has given salvation.

Answer 7

I could imagine mindless atheistic philosophers saying the same thing when their societies encountered the indians for the first time traveling across the ocean.

God created everything in the universe and it is under his providence whether animal, vegetable, mineral, mankind, or alien.

Answer 8

Finding other inhabited planets would not shake my faith.. not even as much as a purring cat shakes a house.

Answer 9

God created the heavens and the earth so if there was another planet he would have created them too
