Do you believe aliens exist?

[tobinatorstark]

If humans are one species and God is a different species then are all believers believing in aliens?

The answer seems to be yes.

God is of no species, he is all spirit and has no gender

 

[tobinatorstark]

So your answer then is yes as the angels race are alien as compared to the human race.

Angels are also spirit and not species.

Are you saying that we have to sin to love God.
If so why a hell?

Just curious, have you read a Bible lately??? Those angels that tempted God and try to dethrone him and disobey him were cast out of heaven and received a just punishment. Most notable Lucifer. 1/3 of the Angels were cast out of heaven. These fallen angels endure suffering.

Ephesians 2

12 That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.

When we sin, we oppose God, damaging a relationship with Him. We must repair that relation, apologizing for our actions, asking for forgiveness. If we seek forgiveness for our trespasses to God, then we are seeking to be with God, no?

God allows us Salvation through Christ, salvation for the sinner, through Him.

God Bless.

[Justafool]

I don’t believe in Evolution either.

Noted.

What would you call or label what God did then?

 

[Justafool]

Once again, a subtle pun is totally lost on the herd.

The OP said "God created people and angles. I said, “right” you are.

Are angels aliens?

 

[Justafool]

God is of no species, he is all spirit and has no gender

Not being like us makes him an alien though does it not?

Irrelevant to the question of being alien to us.
Are they or are they not.

Thanks for the thump but do you believe in aliens or not?

So God makes us to sin so that we can then humble ourselves to Him for doing what He wants us to do. Strange.

If God ‘makes’ us sin, then that’s a violation of free will…

We fall on our own accords, not by force of power.
Genesis:

1 Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’
2 The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden.
3 But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, “You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death.” ’
4 Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die!
5 God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’
6 The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.
8 The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked.
10 ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’
11 ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’
12 The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’
13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’

Romans 5:12:

Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

God bless.

I do not. The fact that cameras are very common, and no good footage of a UFO has been captured tells me that they never came to this planet. If they came with the frequency that the pro UFO crowd claims, than somebody would have captured irrefutable evidence that they exist. But the vidos UFO believers show often are shown to be pranks pulled with flairs at night.

Well, first things first:

I do believe that other intelligent beings beside us humans and the angels exist.

That, however, is an issue to be kept completely apart from the so-called UFO-sightings. Many of them, if not most, are plain bogus. However, there are a couple of fallacies in your reasoning:

1: “If they came with the frequency that the pro UFO crowd claims, than somebody would have captured irrefutable evidence that they exist.”
That is a non-sequitur. They may very well have been able to hide and avoid detection. I actually find it probable that they would.

2: There ARE a number of so-called UFO-sightings that cannot be dismissed as hoaxes, air balloons, etc.
Now, it does not follow from this that those sightings are indeed of alien spaceships (as I said, I would assume that they’d want us to remain ignorant of their presense.), but you cannot dismiss all sightings as pranks or hoaxes.

I also don’t believe God created aliens on other planets. I believe God created people and angles only.

I do.

If God ‘makes’ us sin, then that’s a violation of free will…

No. That is an exercise of free will.

We fall on our own accords, not by force of power.

We also rise the same way.

 

[CGDouglas]

We also rise the same way.

I doubt we also rose the same way, since our free will put us into fall.

‘We also fall the same way’.

God Bless.

Thanks for the thump but do you believe in aliens or not?

No, personally I don’t but…I suppose anything is possible. I just seriously doubt it. If I’m proven wrong, I will recant.

 

[tobinatorstark]

Noted.

What would you call or label what God did then?

a work of Mercy that was pleasing to him. Which is part of His will

 

[tobinatorstark]

Not being like us makes him an alien though does it not?

No. We are created in his likeness and image. This is stated in the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He is in us all. There is nothing alien about him.

 

[tobinatorstark]

So God makes us to sin so that we can then humble ourselves to Him for doing what He wants us to do. Strange.

We choose to sin. It is called free will. Free will is choosing for the good, if bad is chosen knowing that consequence is at hand.

 

[Watchman]

Right you are.

Am I the only one who blew coffee through their nose?

As for aliens… Humanoid creatures that travel around in souped-up space cars? Nah. If there’s life other than us out there I’d be surprised if we even recognized it. Keeping an eye out for “creatures like us, but advanced a few years” is like looking for life on Mars by scanning for French restaurants.
