Yes Jajk999 said it was his "biblical perspective".

It does make sense that God could say something like this to us -
"For the time being, it is none ...[text shortened]... the Lord Jesus - counter intuitively.
It takes righteousness to handle great knowledge.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeA reasonable question indeed. I suspect Christians dont like the idea of having to share God. They are very possessive.

Eg Jesus and the saints will be able to enjoy a ringside view of nonChristians burning and being tormented in the lake of fire, for eternity as a warning to other worlds. Did you get that from the Lord Jesus?
"Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord nor of me His prisoner; but suffer evil with the gospel according to the power of God;
Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages." (2 Tim. 1:8)

Originally posted by sonshipI genuinely believe life is prolific throughout the universe. (Prolific, not in our understanding of the word, but in relation to the sheer vastness of the universe). The idea that Earth alone, among all this vastness, is the only planet supporting life is, to be blunt, crazy talk.It makes no sense to think that this universe with billions of galaxies each with billions of star systems like our solar system, is uninhabited, while an all powerful God just made this one planet inhabitable and nothing on the rest.'
Just for argument's sake. Why would you say that this makes no sense ?
Why would uninhabited worlds ...[text shortened]... y so?
I mean [b]Revelation does show God says He is making new heavens and a new earth.[/b]

The focus of Gospel are the teachings of how one can enter the Kingdom of God, by believing and by living righteously, refraining sin and following the commandments of Christ.
There's not a chance Rajk999's lampoon will cause me to renounce teaching a legitimate part of the Gospel of Christ, salvation from eternal punishment.
I am told by Paul to suffer evil WITH the Gospel according to the power of God. And eternal punishment is a part of the gospel teaching. If you want to make it the ONLY part, that's your obsession.

I don't believe these other worlds are empty, waiting for mankind to populate them. I believe they are already inhabited by creatures that have evolved to survive in the conditions they find themselves in.
Genuine question back at you. If we are one day visited by aliens, would you be able to balance their existence with your Christian beliefs? (And as an aside, did Ezekiel have an alien encounter?)
