Here's a question for ya:

Does the Earth really rotate upon an axis at something like a 1000mph? If so, how is it that I can jump in the air and land in the same spot I stood before jumping?
You are going the same speed :)

There is life out there in the Universe. Is not Jesus out there, and not here on Earth? So there is life out there for sure, because we know that Jesus is out there, we also know that He is out there building us a city, that will one day come down from space and land over where Jerusalem is now. The New City Jerusalem will come down from Heaven, which i assure you the unbelievers will call it the Mothership or a UFO.
When Christ comes to the Earth, He will gather a few saints with Him, just as He has gathered a few saints from other planets as well. Jesus Christ Himself teaches that He has other sheep not of this fold that He must attend to.
If He raptures up a thousand Saints from the Earth, those that are Truly walking in the light as He walked in the light, those that are Truly righteous and no wickedness is found in them (Which will be VERY few), and He raptures a thousand from a million other planets with life on them, then there will be Billions upon Billions of Saints in Heaven. True, Hell will have 1000 times more inhabitants than Heaven will, But God is not selfish, He only wants those who Truly want to serve Him, He does not want those who desire to serve self, those who are selfish.
If you want to know what God revealed to me concerning the Meaning of life, and why we are all here on this Earth, and what is going to happen in the near future, please read these two articles.

sure there is life beyond the Earth. haven't you hear of all those angels in Heaven in the book of Revelation?

also there are cherubim and other creature we call angels that don't look like fat chubby babies when you actually read about them in the Bible. like the wheel inside spinning wheels with souls in them or some other creatures that show up in some of the OT prophets visions.

Didn't you know that God gave each star its own unique body?

[h=3]1 Corinthians 15:
[SUP]38 [/SUP]But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.[/h][SUP]39 [/SUP]All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh[SUP][c][/SUP] of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.


[SUP]40 [/SUP]There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. [SUP]41 [/SUP]There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

I think there is more to it. Let's say you were standing on the earth and then threw a stick straight up into the air; you and the earth are going the same speed due to attachmement but the stick should not go straight up and down. Any Reformed Boeing employees here to answer?

But, what if you threw something 20 lbs up in the air? The stick is a lot lighter and would be more likely moved my wind.

Like throwing a bomb from a plant to hit its mark. The sheer weight of it should cause it to stay in line.

shouldn't matter, as it is in the air the earth and you have moved a distance of 24000mi/hr (or whatever the correct speed of earth's rotation is) leaving the 20lb stick a distance from it's origin.

Did our Lord not say that He has other sheep? Could He be reffering to other beings on other worlds that know of Him and have acceted Him as thier Lord and Saviour? Perhaps this world is the only world that Satan visited and tempted Adam and Eve and introduced sin to it causing God to curse it, prompting God to do what He did. For all we know there are other planets that have christians on them and they are all saved already. But when the time is ripe and our Lord make his appearance the truth will be revealed to all the saints. Consider this, in the Book of Revalations, John saw all kinds of strange life forms much different from us, could they have been from one of those worlds? There many levels of spiritual strengths and many forms of enviroments that cannot support human life and/or carbon based life forms, whose to say that there are places just made for them out there? What difference does it make if all that is important is the spirit and the heart's content and not the body's physical makeup? The body is the house that keeps the spirit, so any planet will do just as long as the heart is for Christ.

Are you saying Christ not only died here on earth for our sins (the sons of Adam) but died on other planets too?
This is the problem of endless speculation beyond what is written.

no i really don't know, backyard physics wasn't my specialty...but annoying my teachers with pesky questions was.

truk... crossnote isn't judging your salvation or your faith... he is just sayin... there is SOOOOOO much written within the scriptures to dig deeply, eat heartily and practice earnestly that a person can be veering off on tangents of "knowledge" which have no real benefit keeping ourselves on the narrow path and winning the race... and finally hearing "well done my good and faithful servant".

The whole ufo/alien thing has stemmed from Hollywood, and the New Age beliefs. For some reason people have tried to tie Alien life in with the bible which is just... wrong.

The bible doesn't really address this issue, and why would it? Hollywood, and pagans made it up. The plainly states the only beings of intelligence that he has created are angels, humans, and animals.

*Keep in mind that Earth was created before any other planet, and star was created(Planets were likely created on the 4th day with the sun, and stars.)
*The bible talks about man's redemption. Never mentions the fate of other beings that are from other planets.
*When judgment day comes ALL will be destroyed, including other planets, sun, stars...

Now, since the bible tells us that the destruction of the universe is based on people here on Earth, then why would God create other life in the universe then destroy them and everything he has created based on our fall here on Earth? That doesn't seem fair.

As far as why would God only create Earth with life on it... well, God hasn't revealed all the answers to us. We do know the God made the sun, moon, and stars to provide light for us and for use to be able to distinguish time(months, days, years, seasons...) Planets also play a role in this as well.

first of all, before i pose my next questionable topic, i just want everyone to know, that i'm not trying to stir up s*** on any of these threads i've posted. they're legitimate questions and concerns i've pondered all my life. just to let you know though that i have absolutely no doubt about the creation of the heaven and earth, mankind and all that is about life was by none other than God and i totally believe in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. i just like to hear other's points of view with the possibility of broadening my knowledge and deepening my walk with Christ.....
with that being said....on to the next subject............
what does everybody think about the possibility of life somewhere else in this infinite universe? now i'm not talking about all these UFO stories and such, but i just find it rather hard to believe that we are the ONLY life form in this entire infinite universe...i mean really....it's just unfathomable to think that we are. the life forms in question may not have human form. who knows? thats why the galaxies are so far apart so that there would be no possible means of contact. just a thought.
Hi, truckin'. :)

My brother-in-law was a life long trucker, a believer, and a really good man.
(though he constantly reminded me that just because he was didn't mean every truck driver could be trusted as he could.
:eek: )

Here's the problem I have with the idea there's life out there...
God sent His Son to die for sin, once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous, right?
So 'life' out there would have to be sinless, first of all.

:confused:

And then there's that whole bit about God ending this creation based on His timing for this world.
Soooo...who knows how many intelligent 'life's get snuffed because man fell?

Naw...God's plan was for this earth. His Son came to this earth.
Nuff said. :)

love,
ellie

IMO (and I stress...my opinion) I am not gonna even attempt to back up my reason with scripture or lack there of.
I would be shocked to find out out in the end,when we are finally with God & all things are made known to us,that there are not other worlds,galaxies,races of beings that he may have created & have a covenant with as well.
We have already proven that we don't even use a fraction of our God-given brains. We certainly know that God's ways are higher than our own...who are we to think we are the be all end all of what he has done? I find this is just our closed minded arrogance at work once again. Do I think little men in flying saucers come to earth every few years & mutilate our cattle & abduct people for anal probe experimentation? No! I think the idea of little green men from far beyond is cool...but I'm also in no hurry to hop in a Tardis & go bouncing around the universe to find out 1st hand either. lol

...

If you're sitting in a car and throw a ball in the air in your car the ball won't fly backwards at 100kph.

The only reason it falls behind you if you throw it out a window is because of wind resistance, and ultimately hitting the ground which absorbs its kinetic energy relative to you and makes the ball move relative to the earth alone.

Put it this way, if earth is moving forwards at 1000 MPH then you're moving forwards at 1000 MPH because you're on it, as is the stick your holding and the air around you. If you throw it up and add say enough energy for it to go up at the rate of 20 MPH then you have a stick moving forward with you at 1000 MPH and moving up at 20 MPH, so it is going straight up relative to your position.

Throwing something in the air doesn't cancel the earths kinetic energy.
