christians only ... if aliens do exist, do they need the gospel preached to them as well?

Question

if aliens do happen to exist, would they need the gospel preached to them as well? Jesus commanded his apostles to spread and teach his doctrine all over the world to every creature. so if aliens do happen to exist, would they need to hear the gospel as well for salvation?

Answer 1

well aliens don't exist so you don't need to worry about that :)

Answer 2

I love the ones that are saying that aliens don't exist. Aren't these the same people who get mad when atheist say god doesn't exist as a way to sidestep an answer. Funny.

Anyways, you are assuming that god ****** them up too. It only says the human race were sinful. Maybe he didn't make the rest of his creatures on other planets in this way. Who says they need salvation? Which brings up an interesting point of who needs salvation and what's the criteria. People who say things are wrong because god says so and believe in divine command theory must also assume he gave the same set of instructions to another species on another planet if they exist.

Answer 3

Now how would we know. None have been allowed to speak with us. Could it be that Jesus came to humans and this is where salvation on this level is meant. Maybe he already came to them on their level and they are coming to teach us about him in their way. Just worry about Humans and let the Aliens up to God. If they need the word, there will be an appointed time.

Answer 4

It is certain that some religious sects will deem it their goal in life to preach to aliens should it be determined that they exist. However, it is uncertain whether the aliens will appreciate or require this interference. It is highly possible that aliens have their own set of beliefs.

Answer 5

Well think about it...When man was "created" or when we "evolved" some one at the begining created a God...And if there are aliens..than when they started out in their begining they must have a god too.
and much like the holy wars we had in the middle ages..who's to say these aliens arnt on a holy crusade to teach religion to us. We might be listening to their gospel in search for salvation....and they might look to ours..

Answer 6

You are assuming the aliens don't already know about God, and would be in need of salvation. Personally, I am more worried about whether any arriving aliens think humans are delicious.

Answer 7

3 possibilities (assuming extraterrestrial beings exist): a million. They worship God, the writer of the Universe, (confident Father, Son & Holy Spirit) 2. They worship the god(s) of a few faith they progressed after the lies won from devil or yet another of the fallen angels working for devil. 3. they are atheists ignoring the only and authentic God, the writer of the Universe.

Answer 8

Define aliens for me,because they are mentioned in the word of God.In Colossians
1:21. And you,that were sometime ALIENated
and enemies in your mind by wicked works,yet
now hath he reconciled.
From this passage we can deduct that all non-Christians are aliens until they are reconciled.

Answer 9

well, essentially yes. but, if we don't even know if aliens exist at the time, then we can't really do that. But if you want to listen to God and see if he want's you to go searching for them... But for now, I'd say we need to just worry about the people on the earth here and now.

Answer 10

"every creature" refers to people.

On second thought, there are a lot of undocumented aliens in America: Mexican, Asians, etc. They need to hear the gospel.

Answer 11

If they find that Aliens exist I am afraid what may happen. When the Spanish found the Aztec people look what happened to them...they were killed "In the name of God" it was sick.
