Moral Responsibilities of Extraterrestrials?

[nChrist]

I have a hypothetical question myself. 

If you're flying in your canoe, and your left front tire goes flat, how many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog house?  Give up?  None!  Because there are no bones in ice cream!   

By the way, would the canoe go to canoe heaven or people heaven?

    YEAH! Now we're having a conversation for intellectuals. Reference the pancakes, it does make a difference who cooks them and how old they are. AND, I hate it when a tire goes flat on my flying canoe.

[2nd Timothy]

I hear fix-a-flat works wonders on flat canoe tires....provided you cook the pancakes on medium high, and don't forget to put the plug in the back of the stove

Do you happen to be a morman and belive that threre are many gods do to being a good enough morman to have your own planet.

1) Does human-like or superhuman intelligence automatically denote an ability to distinguish between right and wrong? Or could superintelligent aliens, despite being so smart, not be able to comprehend true morally?

2) Would God give such intelligent aliens an immortal soul and moral responsibilities? Or would they be nothing more than something like 'smart animals' which simply cease to exist when they die?

3) If such aliens did have an immortal soul and moral responsibilities, would Jesus need to come in their form and die for their sins too? Or would his death on the cross on Earth be sufficient for all intelligent life in the Universe? Would aliens go to the same Heaven as humans, or a different Heaven?

"Sigh" another one . Look, first of all: did God create "Alien?", What if these "alien" are just demons or another thicks by devils.



(note: sorry for my english, it not my first)

These can't be half demon and half human from pre-flood history, because they be killed by world flood.

Even though the Bible doesn't tell us that there is life on other planets, that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. Maybe we simply weren't meant to know about each other. It is possible, that intelligent aliens are so far removed from us that we will never have an opportunity to hear radio signals from them before the end of this current era. In such a case, we would isolated from them and then it really wouldn't matter much whether God told us about them or not. After all, if obedient humans can make God happy, then couldn't he also create aliens that could be just as obedient as humans?

"Sigh" read Genesis again and also mind off "man made belief".



Note: It will be cool if there another humanoid on another planet. Maybe it will happen on during the "Kingdom Age" or  the "Eternal Age"

Brothers and Sisters,

It's hard to say what some people believe these days. It seems that there are new so-called religions springing up everywhere and all kinds of false teachers and prophets to go with them. This is a very hard and confusing time for the lost. The GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST and the CROSS is the most powerful weapon we have to help the lost. I've heard many Christians complain that they don't have very good communication skills, but I know that GOD can use all of us in witnessing. In fact, maybe we are equipped perfectly for a task that GOD has in mind for us. GOD doesn't look for degrees or fancy language skills.

There are all kinds of lost people, and there are all kinds of saved people that GOD wants to use in reaching them. GOD may even provide witnessing opportunities that were specifically for YOU. Brothers and Sisters, we simply need to yield to GOD'S Will, trust HIM to use us in HIS own way, and know that GOD doesn't make any mistakes. We need to stop asking GOD if HE wants a preacher instead and simply go do whatever work HE has for us. The task might be small or great, but GOD knows exactly what HE'S doing.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Romans 5:17-18 NASB  For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.  So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

This topic is purely hypothetical, so please don't start off by saying "aliens don't exist" or anything to that effect. This topic DOES NOT deal with UFO sightings or alien abductions, so let us not concern ourselves with those kinds of things. This topic is FILLED with hypothetical scenarios, so don't take it too seriously.

Let us take a consideration. Let us assume, that since the Universe is so extremely large, God has decided to create life not just on planet Earth, but also on other planets as well. Let us also assume that some of these life forms are as intelligent as, or even more intelligent than, us humans. Assuming (purely hypothetically) that such a scenario is true, I ask your input on several questions:

1) Does human-like or superhuman intelligence automatically denote an ability to distinguish between right and wrong? Or could superintelligent aliens, despite being so smart, not be able to comprehend true morally?

2) Would God give such intelligent aliens an immortal soul and moral responsibilities? Or would they be nothing more than something like 'smart animals' which simply cease to exist when they die?

3) If such aliens did have an immortal soul and moral responsibilities, would Jesus need to come in their form and die for their sins too? Or would his death on the cross on Earth be sufficient for all intelligent life in the Universe? Would aliens go to the same Heaven as humans, or a different Heaven?

Even though the Bible doesn't tell us that there is life on other planets, that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. Maybe we simply weren't meant to know about each other. It is possible, that intelligent aliens are so far removed from us that we will never have an opportunity to hear radio signals from them before the end of this current era.
