I was wondering what you would all do if (and remember this is hypothetical):
1. The rapture took place and you were left behind while all true Christians ascended to heaven.
2. You died and stood before the God of Bible facing judgement.

1. The rapture took place and you were left behind while all true Muslims ascended to heaven.
2. You died and stood before the God of the Koran facing judgement.

What if You Were Wrong?
If we are playing the “what if” game then let me ask you:
If a peaceful alien race were to come to Earth and in the exchange of information we were to discover that they do not have any concept of God. They never had any religion of any kind and never hear of Jesus. What would you think?
To answer your question, I don’t know, it has never crossed my mind.

I would give the aliens the good news of Jesus. Now that the question has crossed your mind could you please answer it?

I don't know. It is a silly question to me. Kind of like what if the sky turned green tomorrow? I am not afraid of what would happen to me.
Back to my question: wouldn't it put doubt in your mind?

I actually once believed in aliens and have definitely thought about how it would affect my faith if they were real. And I realized it wouldn't because the existence of aliens does not contradict God's Word.

Do you mean: Dogons, Zulu, Aztecs, Native Americans, and so on... Are they geographicaly condemned, or were they saved by the information age. Let me guess: ignorance is bliss. How the world can be judged on one culture's beleifs is beyond me... More biblical nonsense.
Originally posted by NellinatorInteresting that you think if a sentient alien race with the technology for interstellar travel, and likely the correspondingly advanced destructive technologies, accompanied by the enlightenment to come to other planets in peace rather than simply conquer them; as humans probably would given the same technological superiority, were to come to Earth they should submit to your human ego-serving religion.
I would give the aliens the good news of Jesus.

If your God would exist I wouldn't be able to do anything anyways, so why worry.

If they are a peaceful race, then they wouldn't need the "good news of Jesus"
The "Good News of Jesus" has been cause for much suffering and conflict in this world. I think they'd decline.

Technology and intelligence does not equal anything close to perfection. Perfection is a matter of actions and wisdom. If the aliens were more evil and unwise than mankind I would say that they are far less perfect. There is no contradiction to God's word.
"Perfection" doesn't exist. 😉
