God never leaves us without guidance...

If such a thing were to happen a messenger would come and we would know how to integrate with the new concept.

We get revelations as we need them.

(course most of the time we twist or ignore them)

Hmmmmmm a messenger would come? What if the messenger is an Extraterrestial Being?

The bible only spoke of a small region and only a couple of ethnic groups that were on earth at the time. So, I don't know why it would include information of life on other planets or creatures that were alive thousands of years before man.

Good point.

Assuming they didn't show up on our doorstep..... I mean if we're just talking about having detected the presence of life 'out there', the distance would preclude us from ever interacting with that life, so there would be no way for that life to contradict any of the religious beliefs here on earth. I think they'd be fine with that.

I think the problems would occur if we were actually visited by alien life. And I do think that would unsettle not just religions, but everyone. Anyone (anything?) that would have the technology to visit us would effectively be higher on the food chain, lol. I think the concerns here would be bigger than figuring out whether they have the same religion.

I would not be "unsettled". The come in Peace.

If they were going to eat us, they would have done it a long time ago.

as long as we're what iffing

what if the aliens showed up and the missionaries tried to tell them about God and they said "we already know"?

The Bible I read spoke of the creation of the entire planet and universe. Now if the dinosaurs roamed the earth for millions of years, I would think that would be worth a mention? At least a sentence or two?

it depends.

If the Bible is the literal word of God handed down. maybe he just forgot to bring dinosaurs up

if it was written by men, they would have had no knowledge of dinosaurs since they had been dead a few million years before

How would you explain the ancient art from Mesopotamia dating back to 3,000 B.C. that clearly depicts Sauropods? Genesis was written 1000 B.C. ?

Ancient Greeks were diggin' them up too but they thought they were bones of ancient heros or mythological beasts.

I don't take the Bible so literally. It was written so many years after the fact and translated so many times.

God had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

What about that great fish?

Can we safely make that assumption??? Just because science can't figure out space travel now, doesn't mean they won't figure it out in the near future.




Whether or not they would have the same religion is beside the point. The question was aimed at what would happen to religions as we know them.

And yeah...we'd definitely have bigger fish to fry depending on their actions...lmao

Can that great fish be thought of as a form of dinosaur?

Possibly. But one would almost have to assume ( there's that word again ) that the " great fish " in question would have been nothing more than a whale.

When first contact is made with aliens, everyone will find out how primitive religions thinking is. I feel kind of bad for those who are religious because it's going to rip the foundation of their system out from under them. But I will feel happy for those of us who know better and it is knowing, and not a faith. I will see if I can describe this knowing, let's say you have a child around, and you have a scented candle on the coffee table, and kids being what they are curious will want to check it out, so he reaches out to touch it, and you say no hot, but for the child in that moment hot has no meaning he has no reference point to understand hot by, until he reaches out to touch it, then hot is no longer a concept it's a knowing, the direct experience of it has showed him what hot means. The direct internal experience that we had shows us the primitive nature of religion. But that doesn't mean you can't cling to it for as long as you can that's up to you! But the time will come when you will know better.Eckani

O jeez.. Christians befuddled by this tough tough question.



Cant.. think.. sucking my.. will to... live....


Oh the drama.

If we got word that there is life out there the churches would fill up so fast the next Sunday/Saturday with people dying to see how this all plays out and to get right with God! I'll betcha.

Good question. I like your name 2112 was always a rush

Alot of ideas all good and very reasonable. personally I believe we are the center of everything all of the Universe and I say That as at the very End Yahweh sets up shop here and the New jerusalem comes down.

We are told no one has seen Yahweh and lived.

We have seen the sun distant stars ect.

Moses saw his back and had to wear a viel from his glowing.

Is this a synanym of the marraige supper when our veil is taken off to see the real truth Yahweh of Hosts?

Is the Custom of the woman wearing a viel at the marraige ceremony a prelude that as her Husband lifts it from her she is now truely free and finally see him for who he really is?
So bright we have had to all of turned to spirit to be in his presence and we also know about the sun getting if we get so close to it and no one can live.

Other intelligent life I believe the Bible would of spoke something of it. Some say the wheel within a wheel is a flying saucer but no mention of something different than what we have been told.


Dinosaurs. No doubt they were here. Science and common sence says they were here. Neanthrathal man was here. But did he really have a Brain?

We know as we have this Knowledge explosion as Daniel predicted would happen and once again the Tower of Babel would come alive and all men would communicate between themselve and rise to the heavens thinking thier was no more need for Yahweh they themselves know best, more old wives tales as Peter says.

Gen. Says the earth was void and without form. Satan we see is thier in the garden. Job says Satan goes back and forth to the throne and Jude says he is the accusser of the brethern.

So yes the earth is probally billion of years old and all the other discoveries are most likely true.
They also tell a story of most likely a distaster so bad that a dust cloud or smoke circled the earth and killed all things and the bible says to this.

The earth was void and without form Yahweh' spirit recreated the earth to its natural beauty with the most beautiful The Garden of Eden.

Now I personally believe this Garden of Eden is hidden where Israel was and that Jerusalem is where the Tree od Life the Tree of Good and Evil is.

Revelation speaks of rivers flowing from thier when Yahweh comes down and that the tree of Life is thier also.

Read genisis closely for all these and what it says.

This is why everyone wants Jerusalem who is king thier is Truely king and the true Religion The True Elohim who is thier. Consider its history.

Aliens seem to be drawn in many discriptions and Egypts pyramids from the air seems to have a landing strip.

If it was could it be demons?

Do demons still go as Satan back and forth still to the Heavens?

Has rev 12 not been fullfilled yet where they are all thrown out of Heaven for good?

This is when satan when thrown to earth is like a Roaring lion as the Apostles call him seeking who he can destroy and 1st thing he tries to attack the True saints but the earth helps them.

genesis says when Cain killed Abel the earth cried. Yahshua said with the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains.

The earth opens up and the saints get away. The earth is under thier command?

the Solar system is thierr for a reason Abraham was told his descendents would be as the stars of heaven unnumerable.

yahshua said we would do greater things than he has done.

What does all this mean?

but alien life as us with knowledge as we have. No i can not believe that and believe Yawheh is real.. Blessings of Shslom.. My People are Destroyed For Lack of Knowledge..Shalom..MIles

cause God is known as such a great kidder?
