Aliens
This might sound like a veeeeeeeery stupid question, but I am really wondering…
What does the bible say about aliens? Does it say there is such a thing? Is it wrong to believe in them?

lol. Good question. As far as I know, I don't think it mentions them. I could be wrong.

What’s funny is I was going to write… “and no I don’t mean Mexicans” You are hilarious man.
lol. ;D
NC,
Well then, speaking in that sense, we are all aliens. Christ himself said that His children are not of this world. And we are all His children. So I guess we're all aliens.
John 17
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

well aliens are obviously another race that can do most things we do and even more..that is sort of saying that we're not the only dominating race that god has created. It means that god is alos focusing on them as much as he is on us. So no, in my opinion at least. And in several verses it speaks of us being the dominating species and the earth being where the lord is. Somewhere in isaiah i believe. If jesus was to come down, why the earth and not another planet? he didnt get crucified several times. Anywhere where there is beings similar to mankind there is sin so therefore i believe that it is wrong. :)
Wow great response, thanks a lot. :)

About the martians who landed in my backyard, I took care of them. I hung them up on my wall :).
Trust me on this one; we DO live in a heliocentric galaxy.

lol I don’t want to bore you with a physics explanation, however, we can prove that the earth revolves around the sun…

Our solar system is definitely heliocentric. But our galaxy isn't, because our system isn't really anywhere near its center. But I know what you mean.
Although I didn’t mean to say galaxy… since the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy is it possible that our solar system would move from the halo and into the central bulge. It would only take about 100,000 light years. ;D
Glad to see somebody is up on their astronomy ;)
God bless!
um..anyway, i gotta agree that i don't think we can figure this one out by bible verses and stuff like that [unlesss we're really REEAAALLY good with the bible]. just an idea..but maybe this is one of those things that God just doesn't think we're ready to find out. i'm not discouraging anybody of continueing to try to find out who/what is out there, but just goood luck cus i never really went across a bible verse that talks about aliens, and in the verses where it talks about "earth," i don't think that it's just talking about the earth. at that time, i don't think they knew that there were other planets. i understand that the Holy Spirit informed them of certain things, but i think that when they said "earth" they just meant the world(s) in general. using the word to try to refer to everything in nature that God made. this is just a very vague idea, and is very arguable, but its just a very vague idea.
Of course, I still think that Satan would qualify as an alien.
God bless!
