, 21:38, August 21, 2008theological implication of extra-terrestrial life further explored
:::Now perhaps the word ''extraterrestrial'' already gets its definition from the lead sentence. But the other seven will need other articles explaining their meaning, and in such a way that the context will be unmistakable in this article. I suppose that's your challenge.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:30, 3 January 2008 (EST)

==Salvation rules out extra-terrestrial life?==
This article seems to imply that because God sent Jesus only once, and only to planet Earth, and only in the form of a human being, then there can not logically be alien life elsewhere in the universe. I find this puzzling. Jesus was also an Israelite, but does that mean only Israelites can be Saved? <br><br>If aliens exist, then millions or even billions of intelligent beings are now dying on their planets without ever hearing about Jesus! How is this different than the millions of people from all over the world who died before ever hearing about the Gospel? If God created the Native Americans knowing it would be 1500 years before they could hear about Jesus, how is it different than if He created aliens in outer space knowing it would be thousands and thousands of years before they were contacted by Christians?
<br><br>Perhaps the implication of scripture is that it is our divine imperative to contact extraterrestrial civilizations so that they may be saved by Christ! --[[User:Stirlatez|Stirlatez]] 17:38, 21 August 2008 (EDT)
