Is there life on other planets?"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The <strong>Bible does not specifically comment<\/strong> about life on other planets. <strong>Will God create extraterrestrial life?<\/strong> Perhaps. God creates nothing in vain. Respecting the creation of earth, Isaiah wrote, &ldquo;For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens &mdash; He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did <strong>not create it a waste place<\/strong>, but <strong>formed it <\/strong>(<em>the earth<\/em>) <strong>to be inhabited<\/strong>&hellip;&rdquo; (Isaiah 45:18) &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stars and planets may have different uses other than to directly support life. We do not know God&rsquo;s will. &ldquo;For <strong>my thoughts are not your thoughts<\/strong>, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.&rdquo; (Isaiah 55:8)\u200b<\/p>\n<p>However, the activity of the <strong>experience of evil is limited<\/strong> to <strong>our planet<\/strong>. It is not God&rsquo;s design to promote the spread of evilness to other planets through contact with earth. Therefore, supposed <strong>alien contacts are created by fallen angels<\/strong>.\u200b<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evil behavior <\/strong>everywhere will be <strong>eradicated<\/strong> by the end of Christ&rsquo;s 1,000 reign. 1 Corinthians&nbsp; 15:24-25 (NIV), &ldquo;Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after <strong>he has destroyed all <\/strong>(<em>opposing<\/em>) <strong>dominion, authority and power<\/strong>. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>God designed to <strong>permit evil<\/strong> only on earth. Even before creation, God had planned the <strong>remedy<\/strong> for man&rsquo;s release from sin&rsquo;s consequences. Jesus was the <strong>lamb slain<\/strong>, &ldquo;foreordained <strong>before the foundation<\/strong> of the world,&rdquo; 1 Peter 1:20. The remedy will be revealed to all during Christ&rsquo;s reign. Then all will be resurrected and given the opportunity to be healed spiritually, mentally, and physically, if they choose to obey God&rsquo;s will. (See Isaiah 35.) Possibly, in the ages <strong>after the 1,000 year<\/strong> reign, <strong>man might have contact with other holy, extraterrestrial beings<\/strong>. The Bible does not address this.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>For a more detailed study about the permission of evil, please download the free PDF: &quot;Why God Permits Evil&quot;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible does not specifically comment about life on other planets.
