I want to keep
this as brief as
possible to keep
your interest
and to just get
to the point. If
you are reading
this I am
assuming you
have some
biblical
understanding.
The question
that is posed is
this: “Do aliens
exist and
furthermore are
these life forms
of intelligent
nature?”
The key points I
will express and
cover in this
short commentary
will help point
us in the
direction that
humans on the
pale blue dot
are the only
intelligent life
forms in the
known universe.
Remember I can
only prove this
with logic
through
Scriptural
understanding.
I am not
a scientist, but
a student of the
Word of God.
From a Christian
perspective the
first question
posed is: “What
is the motive
for God Himself
to create
another species
of intelligent
life on some
other far away
planet in some
far away unknown
galaxy?
I answer
this simply by
saying, “There
is no motive.
God or Jesus
Himself has no
motive or reason
to create these
speculative
aliens people.”
So how did I
conclude that
God has no
motive?
It’s
simple. Ask any
real born-again
Christian what
God’s motive was
in creating
mankind. Their
answer would be
direct: God
wanted a family.
God’s entire
motive was made
clear throughout
the Scriptures,
Old and New
Testament.
I will
simplify the
idea God was
trying to
portray to man
and cite much
Scriptural
evidence saying
the same thing
over and over
again.
The Lord says
continuously to
anyone who will
listen, “I will
be your God, and
you will be my
people”(Exodus
6:7, Deuteronomy
7:6, Ezekiel
36:28, Jeremiah
7:23, Jeremiah
30:22, Zechariah
8:8, 2
Corinthians
6:16, Hebrews
8:10).
So it’s obvious
God created Man
for fellowship.
Let’s look at
one more key
Bible verse to
solidify my
point of no
motive for
flying space
people from
another planet.
The verse is:
Genesis 1.27: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of
God he created
them.”
Let’s put this
together. God
created mankind
for fellowship,
and moreover,
this creation
called Man is in
God Him self’s
own image. So
from my point of
view it’s
obvious at this
stage aliens do
not exist, but I
will continue on
this journey
with you to show
a few more
examples of why
aliens do not
exist.
Let’s just
pretend here for
a minute. Let’s
say God created
a being
intelligent as
or even more
intelligent than
mankind. This
puts them under
the “law” of God
by default.
From a
Christian
perspective, and
my logic added I
find it just
unbelievable
that these
beings could be
sinless and holy
as our Lord in
heaven. With
exception of the
elect angels who
have been in
heaven serving
the Lord, every
man and the
remainder of
fallen angels
have sinned.
I conclude that
these
intelligent
beings from
another planet
would sin
eventually and
be subjected to
death and then
judgment
inevitably. I
conclude this
only on the
basis that God
loves us and by
Jesus’ words
right before
being
captured─when He
was sweating
blood:
“Father
if you are
willing, take
this cup from
me; yet not my
will but yours
be done.”
(Luke
22:42)
Jesus had to
swallow and then
digest all of
mankind’s sin,
and my guess is
it wasn’t
pretty. Shoot,
anyone reading
this can see
every day the
sheer magnitude
of sin and pain
creation goes
through on a
daily basis.
Pain on a
mental,
emotional, and
physical plane
that will never
stop until the
day of
redemption─and
our Lord Jesus
swallowed it
whole.
The bottom line
is the Lord of
the Holy Bible
is not going to
create beings to
suffer finitely
and then
infinitely after
judgment for the
sake of just
doing so.
My Lord is not
evil, He is
merciful and
furthermore my
God is able to
look down the
road on the
consequences of
creating another
intelligent
life, and that
would be death
on a cross, His
personal
sacrifice to
save them from
eternal
punishment.
Jesus was
not looking
forward to the
cross, but it
was the only way
to save mankind,
while uniting an
eternal family.
So if aliens are
in existence
then the
Scriptures point
to no redemption
for these
intelligent
beings.
God’s
plan is perfect,
and creating a
free will
intelligent
species to only
be under the
righteous
judgment of God
is just out of
character.
Hell was
created for
Satan and the
fallen angels
and then
enlarged for
mankind (Isaiah
5:14, Matthew
25:41).
Finally before
Jesus took off
to heaven to
take his seat at
the right hand
of the Father,
He made a
request to his
disciples and
all future
disciples.
“Therefore go
and make
disciples of all
nations”
(Matthew 28:19).
Jesus didn’t say
board a
spaceship fly to
every galaxy and
preach the
gospel. So
mankind
biblically can’t
also be on
another planet
other than
earth, and if
some other
intelligent life
form is alive
they have no way
of redemption,
and God has no
use for them.
But angels and
mankind have
clear biblical
meaning and
purpose; serve
God as an angel
or becoming
family and
children of God
(John 1:12).
There is no
question our God
could create
other species of
life on other
far off planets,
but the Holy
Scriptures give
us no reason to
why God would,
or has done so.
God is very
clear in his
Word what he is
up to. Mankind
is his crop and
when the time of
harvest comes,
He will send his
angels to
harvest. Aliens,
although
possible, have
no purpose or
motive for God
to create or to
have created.
My final
analysis of
unidentified
beings would
fall into the
spiritual realm
where the
apostle Paul
makes it clear
what we as
mankind are up
against
(Ephesians
6:10-12). Evil
spiritual forces
are here to only
steal, kill, and
destroy.
So if
someone is
trying to tell
you that aliens
exist based on
sight, media, or
government you
need to
understand that
you are being
deceived.
The only
plausible answer
is they are
lying or God has
allowed evil its
hour of
deception
through fallen
angels.
We as Christ
followers know
we won’t be
deceived because
God Himself
through the
Spirit of Truth
will lead us
into all truth.
Let’s
just take a
minute to thank
the Holy Spirit
for His guidance
into truth.
Thanks and may
God Bless you
all.
