This is the WORST poll ever.
I guess you consider Jesus is an alien too, because HE"S not from this planet either.

The "aliens" that you refer to, as "aliens" are extra dimensional beings. In other words ANGELS
They have been trying to help us better understand. But the HATEFUL self labeled "Christains" want to kill them.
Please do more research before starting a dumb thread like this one.

are we as christians alien to this world, are they not alien to Christ, those who dont know him. seems to me without going ofthe earth we are around aliens every day.

Do we put God in a box? Are the theologies and beliefs of men held higher and clung to more than simply taking the Bible and studying in through letting the pieces fall where they may?

There are hieroglyphics and ancient drawings that depict ships and beings with helmets. Because of the deceptions that have been born out of the whole alien questions from the New Agers, Christians by and large discount the possibility that there could be life elsewhere that may indeed have the same genetic makeup as us. Do we hold ourselves in pride, then, just like the white men held themselves as the only race of people that could be saved through Christ. In our own arrogance would we deny the gospel truth to another race of people, or creature that was intelligent enough to understand that gospel. If they are beyond being redeemed, then I'd rather explain to my Lord that I was out to fulfill his command rather than withhold that truth from them and because of that they die without hope with the possibility of loosing their soul to the kingdom of Satan. Christ has given us a great commission. God did not charge the angels to spread the gospel, but to minister to those who do. God works through His creation.

Now, the question is, are aliens, or extra terrestrial creatures found within the text of the Bible. I never used to think so, but upon further study of the subject, there are quite a few things that when preconceived ideas are laid down are quite interesting.

To start, look at this verse.

Deu 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

The question is, who are the host of heaven? Moses is talking about nations under the whole heaven. Are nations divided up among men, or angels. Is God through Moses talking about terrestrial or dimensional here?

This situation would present a problem. Are these being's sinful? Perhaps they might not be. If these being's were sinful has Jesus gone to their planet and died again for them? Then there is the question do these being's have a emotions that are close to ours. For instance some cultures in our world did not know what love was before missionaries came. The Waodani tribe was isolated in the Amazonian basin, when in 1956 five missionaries and their families went to Ecuador. The five missionary men were killed by the Waodani. This tribe only knew killing, they had no idea of love. The complete story of thses brave men and their families can be learned bt watching End of The Spear, or Beyond the Gates of Splendor.

I remember the actual time this took place very well. The killing of thse men brought many into a deeper relationship to Christ.

There are mant reasons to not accept the logic of being's from outer space, for me this was the most important.

Your response was curt, and unkind. It is by far not the dumbest question. If you find a thread you do not like and think it's a waste of time than leave it alone. Why insult people?

You seem like you might have been rather uptight or having a bad day. If you are a Christian show some brotherly love. Who knows this person could be a seeker and in need of Christ.

Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

If Jesus died for our sins, then he died for all sins. He is over all the universe. He said to preach the gospel to every creature.

Let's see what that word creature means..

κτίσιςa founding, foundationκτίσις original formation (properly, the act; by implication, the thing, literally or figuratively)
Derivation: from G2936;
KJV Usage: building, creation, creature, ordinance.
Thayer:1) the act of founding, establishing, building etc
1a) the act of creating, creation
1b) creation i.e. thing created
1b1) of individual things, beings, a creature, a creation
1b1a) anything created
1b1b) after a rabbinical usage (by which a man converted from idolatry to Judaism was called)
1b1c) the sum or aggregate of things created
1c) institution, ordinance

********************

So, if a living being came across my path, whether from this planet or another, then I'm going to be obedient to the Lord and be telling them about Him. There is only one way to the Father, and that is through Jesus. That holds true no matter where the creation may be that is satient enough to understand.

The example is a good one about what is at stake when spreading the gospel. Elizabeth Elliot marched right back into that tribe that killed her husband along with that missionary group, with her children in tow. Now a son of one of the men killed, Steve Saint is still ministering to that group of people.

1cubed.com/display.php?ID=37&sectionID=32

Steve told us, “The Waodani asked me to come out here [to them], and asked me to teach them to do things only foreigners know how to do. [Like:] how to handle medicine, and have access to a little pharmacy. And the tooth thing—doing a little dentistry. And, they wanted to build their own airplane because the jungle is extremely rugged.”

The Waodani now have an airplane, and it shows how far they've come since the days they were known as ‘the killer Aucas.’
The changes have come as tribe members have gradually embraced the Christian faith. The first thing they did was to stop their revenge-killings of one another, which were pushing them to the brink of extinction.
Today, Steve Saint returned to the jungle with a small group of visitors who included three of his own grandchildren. And he brought the granddaughter of fellow missionary martyr, Roger Yudarian, Helena Weatherall.
Helena spoke about the difficulties of missions work. “In college right now there are a lot of students who do trekking and going to Nepal for the summer for fun, And this is fun for a day or two or maybe for a week. But to imagine to dedicate your life and saying, ‘I’m going to stay here to live with the people and possibly to lose my life.’ That’s a little bit of a bigger commitment, to say the the least.”

Maybe creation is thought of in a small sense rather than in a bigger sense.

Hi everyone.

I didn't answer anything in the poll, but I gave it a good thought.
I'll be honest with myself, I'm deffinitely not gonna stand around waiting to try and see if an alien knows God. I AM SO OUT OF THERE!! And if it attacs or chase me in a corner, I'll shout upon the Almighty Name of the Lord and I know He will save me.

Futher on a can't say much about alliens coz the Bible also don't say anything about them. Yes thinking about the universe being so big and all, "an awfull waste of allot of space" some people say "there MUST be something" But we serve a enourmously big God, I mean, His love can't even be measured, so God created a big universe, to bring glory to Him and we can just look up and we will see His glory. It is so big to be able to bring glory to God, in that case, the universe it too small :)

And if there are aliens, they are under Jesus's feet and also under our feet, coz we are hidden in Christ in God...

I cannot offer any difintive proof, Biblical or otherwise, but I am firmly of the belief that there are other life forms on other planets/galaxies/whatever. I also am as just as firmly convinced that what we see here on earth as 'aliens' are in fact demonic.
I think the earth and its inhabitants are the only part of creation that sinned and is in rebellion. This is Satan's throne. He is bound to this planet, therefore has not been permitted anywhere else to tempt. Nor do I think other life forms from other planets that have not sinned would be allowed here. Why would they come here? What have we to offer other than war and hatred and greed and selfishness?
If other life forms, (for want of a better word, aliens) have not sinned, then you can be sure they are in a good personal relationship with their Creator, just as Adam and Eve were before the fall. Thus you can also believe they know about us, after all, how can they not know that their Creator died for a species of rebellious no-accounts and not wonder? Paul said we are the showpiece for the universe. So we are being studied for sure, but off limits as far as visiting is concerned.
You see an alien here on earth you tell it to take a hike in the name of Jesus.
