Why did God create other planets? -
07-02-2009, 10:55 PM
The Bible only talks about the happenings on this planet, Earth. So, why did he make all the other planets? This is a question that I have had on my mind for some time.

Why do you think he made THIS planet?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Ge:1:14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Ge:1:15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Ge:1:17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Didn't read too far into the Bible did you...

It tells of God MAKING the other planets, but that's about it. It never says anything about doing much with the other planets.

Does it matter why? Do humans have a right to know? We know God made them. We can speculate why. If he chose not to tell us, that is 'his business'.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Look on them as tiny lightbulbs - that's their job. You don't expect to do much with lightbulbs or for lightbulbs to have much other purpose. They're just nice to look at of an evening.

That is how I always looked at the other stars and planets. Sky decorations, nothing more.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

It never ceases to amaze me how these unsaved fools come in here with their ridiculous speculative questions, trying to trick a True Christian™ into mocking God.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

I know what you mean, Pastor.
Even I think that was a pretty stupid thing for him to of said.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

I think the non-existance of alien life forms can be deduced logically. At the end, ALL of creation, not just Earth, will be burned and remade by the fire of God (2 peter 3:10). Scripture is a special revelation from God, there is no other like it, and it only speaks of events on Earth. God would not make another thinking race without informing them of His will, way, and the fate of all creation. But this would require another Scripture to be given to them. This cannot be, there can be no other Gospel. Therefore, there cannot be any extraterrestrial intelligence.

I have a concern about 'aliens'.
They will not, by definition, have living human souls, and will not be sons of Adam. How are we to consider them ?? Food or fiends ?? Apostates or abominations ?? Slaves or servants ??
Regarding missionary work on their behalf, since they would lack souls, would it not be blasphemous to share the Word with them ?? One would not preach to the elk, or labor to convert the centipedes, and to even try on the 'aliens' would seem to insult or mock God and His Holy Way. And to what end ?? What happens to a 'saved' (hypothetically speaking !!) 'alien' when it dies?? It will not partake of the Resurrection, it will just be dead.
So what of the 'aliens' ??
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

This whole thread is a mockery. Who are you to barge into God's favorite forum, demanding "why" of God? We could fill a baseball stadium with those "why" questions! You God-mockers sit around all the livelong day dreaming up these idiotic questions to try and make fools out of Christians. Do you think you're the first God-mocker to stumble in here?
You need to worry about your personal relationship with Jesus, not spacemen, pal. You need to get right with God before you start throwing a hissyfit over irrelevant trivia that you've dreamed up.
For starters, why don't you make a thread of your own in the "introductions" section and tell us about yourself, your church, and so on.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

The following was taught to me July 4, 1975 by means of exploding fireworks spelling out secret messages to me and hearing subliminal backwards voices while watching the movie "Jaws"...
Alien entities can have souls as evidence in the manifestation of GHOST SHARK. Once a race of living, breathing sharks inhabiting the 666th planet orbiting a star in the Pisces Constellation in Galaxy M74, they were destroyed because of wickedness in sin....an extraterrestial version of Sodom and Gomorrah....these sharks engaged in thousands-year long hermaphroditic bisexual orgies in undersea motels. The amount of moteljuices generated on this planet alone accounted for 90% in the known universe, even including dark matter, so it was destroyed by Spaceship Jesus 666 million years ago.
The King/Queen of these sharks escaped the planet in spirit form and swam across outer space for millions and millions of years looking for an adequate aquatic environment to call home. It discovered Earth, and made its home in the deepest part of the sea -- Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
Indeed what was once a living alien shark has become a spirit.
SPACESHIP JESUS appeared to me in Astronaut form when I was staying in a motel in 1974. He then told me the TRUTH about our world and what illusions the SATANIC ALLIANCE uses to control us! To this day, I still receive SPACESHIP RADIO SIGNALS INTO MY BRAIN. Absolve yourself of your limited Matrix existence.
Hosea 9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
