Ayy's will be converted, they have no other option. The days of anal probing degeneracy are over!!

God can do whatever God wants. If God wants to create ayy lmaos for his glory, he could do so. The question of whether ayy lmaos can be redeemed or descend into the Earth like animals is perhaps more interesting.

>>563374

The existence is fine.

>>563379

To me, to be redeemed you have to have something to redeem, a soul. And great evidence of this, saying we came into contact with them, would be this:

1) They can understand morality, and since the Law of God is on the hearts of all who can, then they would probably have a soul.

2) In doing this, they would also be able to see the self-evident Truth that God exist, and be rational enough to see this, and be able to understand these concepts, so they'd probably have a soul.

What I think is even more interesting is Salvation for them, could it possibly be that they would come to know the Great One whose name is God like us? Or would their Salvation be based entirely on how they follow the Law of God in their hearts, by their conscious, since it is written, "where there is no Law sin is not imputed".

Yes it's compatible.

But they will most likely be insentient space cockroaches, even if they are sentient. Intelligent animal is still an animal and doesn't mean that they have a soul. (Story of donkey and Balaam)

Aliens already exist in Christianity. They're called angels and demons. They're much weirder than the aliens in science fiction.

Then "human" would have to describe a being with a soul, since the Image of God is this (if aliens have souls), and God doesn't have a "form" such as human anyway, this is just how we understand Him.

No, because the whole concept of extraterrestrial life is intertwined with science fiction themes of evolutionism. The Bible does not mention any other planet where life was created, so I wouldn't go so far as to ascribe "aliens" as sentient beings with souls that were possibly created by God because they are never written about.

Evolution exists in the sense of micro-scale on forms, but I don't believe in macro-evolution.

>The Bible does not mention any other planet where life was created

Well the bible never mentioned sea horses yet they exist now don't they?

>>563583

You'd think that hypothetical manlike beings but which are distinctly not human with souls would've come up at some point, my man.

>>563585

>Inb4 they do but they're in the scroll the angel gave to John in the Book of Revelations, so we don't know what is inside of it.

>>563551

Well, I despise this """idea""", but C.S. Lewis already wrote about that, what he said >>563573

buuut… there are several things, first of all being that Jesus assumed Human form and we cannot define what has soul. Only two creation that are immortal by nature (herein "naturally", I mean, how God naturally made them) are Humans and Angelic beings and I disagree with whole "rationality means that it has soul" idea, its false and tradition of man most likely.

Finally, all this discussion is a vain talking that doesnt have sense. Even atheists are saying that aliens will be most likely space cockroaches and that humans are anomaly in chain of evolution.

Read The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis

The etymology of human comes from the PIE word dhgomon, which literally means 'of the earth'. It is still a matter of debate, considering how little we know of the proto-indoeuropean languages, and how time has made it clear that language is just as fallible as we are.

Personally I believe that ayy lmaos will be clearly different from humans; while they could be evangelized and converted, we will not know for sure if they will be joining us in Heaven, sola fide

Only ayy lmaos out there are probably demons.

>>563374

Of course, why wouldn't they be? The Bible doesn't clearly mention them (unless some of the odd creatures in the Bible are supposed to be aliens) but it doesn't mention a lot of things. Assuming aliens had a fall too and are sinners, and Christ did not already appear to them and die for their sins in their own form (like Aslan), then they will have to accept Jesus to be saved.

theoretically speaking they're demons

God did not become alien, therefore aliens can not become like God

Aliens are demons basically
