Any intelligent created beings with the power of choice (a necessity for worship and love), being less than God, would make less-than-perfect choices. Sin is defined as coming “short of the glory of God” (Romans:3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
See All... [1]). God does not need to experiment (“Man rebelled, but let’s try again on another planet”). If there are other sinners scattered throughout the universe, God must have created them. But why? Surely one planet of rebels is enough!
Our own compassion and conscience [2] (as well as Scripture) tell us that a loving God would want to forgive sinners and reconcile them to Himself. To do so righteously, however, the penalty for having broken God’s laws must be paid. Finite beings (as all created beings must be) could never pay the infinite penalty required, so God Himself would have to do so by becoming one of them. The Bible declares that God did this for Earth’s inhabitants, becoming a man through the only virgin birth and dying for our sins upon the cross.
For beings on other planets to be redeemed, God would have had to become one of them and die for them as well. But the Bible indicates that “the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy:2:5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
See All... [3]) is “the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews:13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
See All... [4]). To suggest that Christ also took other forms at other times is an antichrist [5] doctrine (1 John:4:1-3 [1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
See All... [6]).
The Bible clearly says, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans:6:23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
See All... [7]) and “without shedding of blood is no remission [of sin]” (Hebrews:9:22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
See All... [8]). The Bible also states that Christ died only once, and here on Earth as a man. Therefore, there is righteous reconciliation to God for man alone. There is no redemption for any other creatures. Christ’s sacrifice could not have been repeated on any other planet nor could it be perpetuated in the Roman Catholic [9] “Sacrifice of the Mass,” as that Church claims. The Bible declares:
“…by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place [heaven], having obtained eternal redemption for us…[and] now once in the end of the world hath he [Christ] appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself…. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God…. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified…. There is no more offering for sin” (Hebrews:9:12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
See All... [10], 26; 10:12, 14, 18).
For sinners to escape God’s judgment, the infinite penalty for their sins must be paid, which finite beings could never do. That Christ fully paid that penalty is attested to earthlings by irrefutable proof: testimony of eyewitnesses, archaeological and historical evidence, and prophecies fulfilled on this Earth. That other beings would have a savior who had died on a distant planet is in complete contradiction to all that the Bible teaches.
