I've never started a thread before and don't even know what an "OP" is (opening paragraph?) Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what people think of this. I believe that the universe is teeming with life, and that there are worlds of greater peace and intellect. Worlds, perhaps, where we may have had past lives. Obviously can't prove it, it's just a belief. Having been raised Christian, and still regarding Jesus as a spiritual Master, I ask, what do Christians think about life in other worlds? Is there Scripture to support this? Do you believe Jesus had to incarnate in other worlds and save them? Do you believe Earth is unique, a special place in God's "eyes", more distinct than any other?
Myself, I no longer believe Jesus had to save anyone, but I respect that belief in others. I do not feel hell-bound, nor anyone else, unless they choose so. And perhaps Jesus, Buddha and other Masters are known of in these worlds, by other names. Do you feel that Jesus had to die for them there, as you believe he did here?

Since this is about Jesus, I figure I can talk on this thread and not be ignored, lol.
Besides, Canadian, you are a good person and never attack others, anyway.
Do I believe that there is life in the universe, I kind of think there is. Do I think Jesus had to die for them? Maybe they were smarter than mankind and didn't let sin into their world. Maybe that wasn't necessary.
You know, I think Egypt and their technology signifies life from other planets coming here. I think the desert drawings say that. I think the fact that there are pyramids in Mexico says they have been here. Now, I wionder, if they HAVE been here, why did they stop making themselves known to mankind?

The Buddhist view point is that there is definitely life on other worlds throughout the cosmos. The Buddha himself stated so 2,500 yeras ago. He stated he visited many worlds, I guess through astral projection or through "knowing all" in his enlightenment. Anyhow, it is accepted without doubt life on this plain throughout the cosmos exists and throughout all the plains of existence.

Thanks Bev 
Now who could possibly ignore ya

Those cultures were on to something. There's also those giant drawings of a spider, etc, I forget now what they're called. Maybe today a lot of people can't handle that idea, it's too frightening for them. Past cultures might have been more accepting, less fear-driven. To me, it's a comforting thought to feel that we share the universe with others.

Awww, you are sweet.
Now, what about the crop circles?
I have seen that spider one, too, and I don't remember where it was, either.

and you know there are too many people who have seen ufos, or experienced being on one to discount that. I saw a doctor on maybe even the health channel who extracted a piece of metal from a man's body, and they have done that with other people, too, who say that the aliens come after them and take them on board their spaceships all the time.

I saw a UFO quite definitely. It flew over head one morning whilst walking in my village in England. It went by just as if a car drove past. It was enough to know they exist quite definitely.
Another event, although I wasnt there but knew many of the people who witnessed this event:
Sunday afternoon whilst the green was hosting a Cricket match with quite a number of people, where shocked to see a disk shape shoot down from the sky, hover a few feet off the grass for a few minutes whilst everyone went into shock and it flew straight back up into the sky again. Most of the people refuse to talk about it afterwards.
My personal experience are many with other people.

Did it or does it scare you to think about their existance, knots?
You are right, most people won't admit to that, like many Christians don't like to admit to hearing the Lord speak to them or visions, or dreams He gives them.
No one wants to be labeled as crazy. Sad.

Thanks Mom!

Makes perfect sense to me, Knotty. What this is here is but one manifestation of life, among many realms. And nothing at all to be feared. When I was growing up, I thought I would always be this person, and go to heaven with Jesus. Now, I feel like I've had many lives, and in many places, and won't be "Doren" anymore upon death, but still my essence. And I know that's not the Christian view, but I feel alright with it. As I get older, I'm more ok with not knowing, or thinking I know, these deep questions. The knowledge will come. But I wonder how Christians see Jesus' role as far as other worlds go.

I have no doubt there is life elsewhere. There just isn't any evidence yet. There are hints. There are inscriptions on ancient Egyptian ruins that look like aircraft but we aren't sure. They did spend a lot of time looking up and had an imagination.
If there is life elsewhere they are either hiding from us or too far away to be seen. If they are hiding that means they know about us already and could have been the source of gods visiting earth. Fire gods no doubt for their propulsion systems and strange lights. They are probably deciding whether to destroy us or give us a chance. The last thing they would need is religious infection to spread to their civilization and destroy it. However, I think their minds would be too evolved but even they might have what is considered retards.

Now, believe it or not, I have considered that, thought about that.
You know, I am not so sure that all of those things are good things. Did you ever see the couple, a black man and a white woman who claimed they were abductied by a spaceship, and people laughed at them. Well anyway the beings on that ship did medical procedures to them that were horrible and painful to them no sedation whatsoever.
They did ask the captain of the ship where they came from and he pointed that out on a map of the universe.
Okay, I read that these two people were put under hynosis and still have the same story, with even more detail and they drew a map and showed a star that was not even known to exist at that time and was just found recently.
Now, how would this affect reincarnation, knots, do you believe you could have or have had lives on other planets?
Those people were put

Yeah, alien abductees often talk about being anal probed. Its probably you kidnapping people and using your dildos on them.

No not at all accept at one time the thought of the unknown caused "concern",lol
There is a fear of that "Hollywood" style perceived fear because of the societal indoctrinations of the subject.
You are right, most people won't admit to that, like many Christians don't like to admit to hearing the Lord speak to them or visions, or dreams He gives them.
Some People and Christians as a whole do not really understand what is happening to them. The knowledges beyond the box is missing and hence mind snot open to perceive true reality.

Those are interesting links, Hammer, I never ever heard of loser angels before. Sounds like a belief from centuries ago when people didn't have the medical knowledge to understand different physical conditions, and thought these things were curses or something.
There's lots of testimony from pilots as well about UFOs. Certainly these visitors are far more techniclogicly advanced, they could have done away with us if they wanted. Who knows, maybe they are protecting us from our self-destruction, we surely can't be fascinating to them anymore after how many visits.
