did Jesus die for the aliens too, or just for us?

how many times has God died on a cross for a particular planet?

do you have to believe in the "Jesus" of your planet, or can you travel to another planet, believe in "their" Jesus and be saved?

the questions get more interesting:

did some planets pass the test and remain in Eden? what happens when the star those planets orbit go Supernova? what's their population like, since they never die?

why did God go around creating all the planets, populating them with people, and then dying for them?

are there different heavens for different alien races, or do we all get to hang out in the same heaven?

If we knew that there was life on another planet some of those questions might be valid.

If we could get to another planet that had something on it, others might become valid.

As it stands now, they are about as hypothetical as you can get. With all the great minds that we have engaged in the study of space...we know that...there doesn't seem to be anyplace to go and we couldn't go fast enough to get there even if there were. LOL

..........
Please let me correct a misunderstanding that some may have. I can NOT save you, nor can any other Christian save you. Only Jesus can forgive your sins and only through Him can you have everlasting life. Make sure you completely understand that no one, but no one gets to the Father except through Jesus Christ.................................................................

I have not threatened anyone with fire and brimstone.

There's some funny ideas going around about Christians that’s for sure.

In a nutshell, you told all non-christians they are going to hell, but didn't threaten them?

What about religious beliefs that are different from yours? You state they will not get to "The Father". Why do you suppose that is?

Are you quoting from the original biblical text, Gideon, King James or some other version of the Bible?

Some versions state in Genesis:

"And god so breathed life into Adam and he received his soul."

Some say this passage was designed for comfort during that time when so many births were still born. Some say this passage is proof that baby is soul-less until the first breath is taken. You can see where this would lead into the abortion issue.

In the newest versions of the bible, this passage has been changed

If you are standing on the street and I look up and see a piano falling out of a window and headed your way, am I threatening you by telling you about it?

I think the falling piano is the threat. I'm just being neighborly by passing on information that you might find useful.

You of course are free to excersize your right to not believe in pianos. You may certainly stand where you please, even if it's under a falling piano. Heck, for all I know, you collect pianos and this is how you get them so maybe I should just sit back and see how you do it. LOL

true true ... and i'm glad for that

if Earth is any indication, whenever an advanced civilization encounters a lesser advanced one, the results are not pretty ...

no, not pretty, my pretty

(and your little dog too)

sorry, haven't eaten all day

Were you born and raised Christian? Or were you exposed equally to all major religions and allowed to make your own choice? I am sure there are plenty of Muslim people who believe equally that their faith is the only way to get to heaven. I am equally sure that MOST of them were born and raised Muslim.

The problem with your analogy is that if we add a Muslim to it, he would be pointing to the sky at a falling bank vault coming down right next to your piano. I would have to quickly chose between getting out of the way of vault or the piano (or the 10 other invisible falling objects representing other religions) all based on the advise of someone who can only see one of the invisble objects.
