God tells us he is Truth, Love, a Spirit that can live inside us ,is there no one who knows Love or Truth? if another Alien were living inside you would you want to know them?

I don't know how to answer your question exactly. If you are asking about God's Holy Spirit dwelling in my heart, which He does, then certainly I want to know and understand the living God of Heaven in greater measure.\n\nJohn 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  (17)  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  (18)  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.\n\nIf it was some other "spirit" then I would want it cast out in the name of Jesus as quickly as possible, because I wouldn't want to be deceived by some demonic force.\n\n1 Timothy 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  (2)  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Dear Francis B:  It is not for me or anyone to press God and His Realm upon others who do not wish to know of it.  If you will bear with me, I would like to say a few things about this:\n\n1.   As one who pursued the Intellect of my human mind most of my life and looked at all things, and felt pride in my Intellect's comprehensive ability to learn and understand , I now present to you what I learned :  The Intellect is but an exercise of mind.   Scientific theories come and go each decade.  The Sciences get up close to God and then, sadly, have no ability to mathematically formulate His Reality and Truth. To prove Him.  I would offer:  Don't rely on just the Intellect to live by.\n\n2.    Later in life, I opened up to Spirit Mind.  Nothing denominational, nothing very traditional, no dogma , and  began receiving "experiences" of Spirit. \n\n "Temporal Lobes of the Brain" is a discussion of the illusionary-type reality we experience here in the physical world.  But, you know, we are much more than just physical.  Made of something much more powerful. . .and, sooner, or later, we all come to Know.  Our Creator is not dependent upon our "belief" in Him.  He exists  - whether we choose to deny Him or recognize Him.  He looks upon what He created and listens while it turns to other creations He created and yells, "There is no God." And, He MUST think to Himself. . .how strange that is; my creation is acting as if it doesn't know me !  Yet, I AM  - and certain of myself !  Even a human father might find it a bit disconcerting -  when a child of his denies him. Same thing, really.\n\nAnyhow, spiritual or religious experiences come not from the human Intellect - but, from the soul/spirit part of Mind.  That "thing" that certainly exists, but is not reflected by the physical matter of "brain."  In thinking upon ourselves, perhaps we need to consider ourselves more in terms of a totality - rather than just one part of us as "real" and that there is nothing MORE to us.  That may be something to contemplate. . .\n\nI would like to submit to you further these truths of spiritual experience (or religious experience), as I have learned of it:\n\n1.   Spiritual or religious experience "reverses physical laws."\n2.   These experiences are often experienced during prayer or study.\n3.   These experiences undo the past in the present and release the future.  They are outside the laws of the physical world.\n4.    Spiritual or religious experiences REFLECT, therefore, the laws of Eternity, not of time.\n5.    Through spiritual or religious experience you feel God's constant Forgiveness upon you and are impelled to extend it to others.\n6.    Spiritual experiences (or religious . . .let's now use the words interchangeably) are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness and is at work in all the dimensions of Time.\n7.    Spiritual experiences are healing because they deny absolute body-identification and affirm spirit-identification.  This places spirit at the Center of Mind where it can communicate directly.\n8.    Spiritual experiences honor you.  They dispel illusions about yourself.  They help restore your sanity.  They restore the Mind to its fullness. . .. \n9.    Spirit's strength leaves no room for intrusions.  Nothing can take the experience and its effects away from you.\n10.  By perceiving the light IN the experience, darkness automatically disappears.\n11.    Whole-ness is the perceptual content of spiritual experience.  It corrects the faulty perceptions of lack, or being separated.\n\nBest regards, Lana

Where does the Bible say we are the ONLY ones in God's image?\n\nWhere does it say we are the image of God physically, rather than in some spiritual sense?\n\nAnd can't a three dimensional cone case a shadow that is a circle and also one that is a triangle.  Who is to say that God doesn't have many images and likenesses?

I don't think anyone has really answered this question.  I found out that everything I was being taught about God were lies or mistruths and was very upset.  I have since set out on my own spiritual quest and have a much better understanding of our creator.  Don't believe everything anybody tells you (even the authors of the bible).  Seek and ye shall find.  God is within.

To recollection of things, there is no other realm in which humans exist.  God, Jesus, the Holy Sprit and Angels exist in Heaven.  The devil and his demons roam the Earth after he was ousted from Heaven for his disobedience.  Where he still roams today.  May God Bless

I love this kind of Q...we used to have healthy disscusions about this when I was at school....I agree totally that there has to be other 'beings' on other planets....I mean where did we come from? \n\nYes, God made man.....here's a question for you all....what's to say God hasn't made other humans or beings elsewhere in the Universe. The Universe is way to diverse and still being discovered with heaps of other solar systems that haven't even been found yet.\n\nSo, I'm for 'Beings' out there purely because there still is no proof that there aren't any.....oh, and by the way I don't stand in cornfields with aluminium on my head.

That is your perception of the "truth".  Everyone has their own.\n\nHere is my belief:\n\nWe are here so that God can experience God's self.\n\nGod is absolute. In this state there are no contradictions and no relativity. Everything is constant, absolute.\n\nThere are no temperature fluctuations, for instance. How would you know it's hot, if you never experienced cold? How would you know you're tall, if you never saw someone shorter than you? How would you know love if you never experienced hate or fear?\n\nGod knows what God is, but the knowing of a thing and the experiencing of it are two entirely different things. For example you know what icecream is, but experiencing the taste of it is different (and SO much better) than just intellectually knowing that it is frozen cream and sugar.\n\nGod created life as we know it so that God could experience God's self in the world of relativity through us, who are each an individuation of the whole.\n\nGod does not judge us for our actions...after this physical incarnation ends we will return to the spiritual dimension and decide if we want to stay or experience another physical incarnation. This is how we serve God.\n\nSo, live life with love, joy and gratitude and take advantage of the chance to fully experience every event that comes your way.

I believe in God but not in the traditional sense. To be honest, I've asked your very same question many times before. To understand it, I looked around me to see the natural order of life; how things worked and the cycles there are. Personally, I don't believe we were created in God's image. I don't believe that we are his only creation or his/her greatest creation, for that matter. The way I choose to view creation is simple; every thing is purpose oriented. Like a sports team, every player/ component/ creature, is an equally important part. Our lives however grand or simple, are part of an incomprehensible mass of life called creation. Creation being every thing from the stars to the microscopic germs on our hands. All things are of different masses and scales. The only thing that all things share is that, they exist. Think of it this way; solar systems are comprised of planets, galaxies comprised of solar systems, a universe comprised of galaxies. We and the world we live in are a small piece of possibly an infinite space. I don't know what our purpose is in life but all I know is, we are supposed to be alive. Every piece of all creation, is like a gear in a machine; each gear turning the other to make some thing move or react. It would be very egotistical and narrow-minded to believe that we are all that there is. Especially considering there is evidence to support the contrary. Every time you see a dog, bird, cat, cow, worm, what ever, that tells you that we're not all that there is. Heck, every time more dinosaur fossils are dug-up, that proves there was life, long before we existed. So we are just another in a long line of creatures. No more or no less special than our predecessors or our future successors. I view our lives as part of an experiment. God wants to know what we'll do; what things we will discover; what horrors we will create, how long we will last, how far we will take our selves. To what end? I don't know. But we, like every thing else, exists to simply live. We do what we want with our life. In my opinion, God does not feel good or bad about the things we do. He/she wants to know how things pan out. We're important to he/she because we are a part of him/her. God is some thing we cannot really understand. God is our creator but beyond that, that's all we know. What is the use of God, you ask? What is the use of anything? To me, to be alive is use enough. We have the ability to do great things. Our lives are what we make of them. God or the idea of God, perhaps is a constant reminder that there is always some thing beyond what we know. In a way, that guides us to the answers to our questions. Well, that's not a diffinitive answer in the least but I'll say this; if I did have the answer, I'd be a very rich man!

Do you know what it took to even ask the question? You have a physical machine called a body that is able to use its mind to ponder the question, relay visual information from a physical world of comparable low-tech computers through the optic nerve, into the brain, with the mind to comprehend the ramifications, then transfer that thought process to an incredibly complex systems of nerves, tendons, and touch to the fingers to type the letters. This then communicates a question of the soul. The soul is something that science cannot a.) explain and b.) create. It can only mimic with unsatisfactory results. That soul is concerned for the existence of an eternal destiny beyond time and space--that there is a world beyond the physical world we see in the here and now. You are an incredible creation who has been given the free will choice to believe, or not believe. A being that can love, write poetry, paint or play works of incredible complexity and beauty. To smell, and taste, enjoy. So, like you, I set out on a path to find my Creator. It is obvious that He exists, but is He personal or an impersonal force? My answer came through the study of prophecy in the Bible. Like the DNA strand and life itself, it was hard to dispute the evidence. Now with the realization of the truth of the Bible, God made it clear that He was not only a personal God, but One who wanted to know ME, and that He knew everything about me--even the number of every hair on my head. \n\nEphesians 3\nFor this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

:}  No one can know anything for a fact beyond any doubt..\n\nEven our very senses fool us. There are dreams and mirages. We’ve all thought we heard saw or smelled something that was inaccurate.\n\nThoreau in Walden Pond, Presented the idea that we could know that we exist because if we did not we could not question whether we did or not.\n\nHaving established that nothing, beyond perhaps our own existence, can be established with absolute certainty, we must proceed to behave as if those things for which there is significant evidence, in fact exist and work as the evidence would suggest they do.\n\nWhile this procedure at times will lead to error, for the most part it is necessary to pursue this line of reasoning, called inductive logic, if we are to conduct normal life functions.\n\nIs there a god?  I use the same process. So for my purposes Yes, as far as my data goes in allowing  me to analyze the information, the preponderance of evidence suggest that God is a certain fact.  \n\nThen using the scientific method it simply remains to see if the predictions I make based on this hypothesis come to be\n\nAnd they have.\n\nI'm 100% sure \n\n\n\nOne additional fact \nMy salvation depends less on my faith than on his faithfulness!

to think that we are the only living beings in this large universe is silly. Why have they not made themselves seen to us, is a different story.\nIt could be that they are at the same level of technology as us, they could be behind us or they might be highly advance and will not make themselves know to us until we are at their level. \nIn short without continuing to go on a rant\nYes, they are out there.

I dislike it very much when people presume all christians are alike and act and believe the same way. I was sent a lovely email by someone on this site who thinks I shouldn't call myself a christian because I don't believe in the trinity. Should I let either of you define me or my beliefs? Now, about your question, I think the Bible is proof of aliens as we define the term. And the Bible is a guide to live by, but why do you have to use the word 'just', as though to deliberately lessen the importance of the word of God? We all have free will, so do as you think best.

Something has to be eternal, perhaps! Some say it is God, some say it is the energy-matter stuff or nature. I know that I don't know the answer. I would like to leave it that way. \n\nSome people believe in God or a supernatural power. Such people are in the modern educated populations of Christian, Islam and other religions as well as many tribal populations. There are also atheists in different pockets of the world. But in today's context, it would be perhaps ignorant, and even dangerous, to think whatever  'I'  believe is the only truth and hence everyone should believe the same (sorry to stray, but have seen this tendency in many questions/answers here). \n\nMany of us believe in exploring the truth in our own limited way, some of us don't care how it all started and many find answer in God-concept. So be it. We should try to understand each other's thinking and hence it is a valid question. But I don't think there should be any conflict.\n\n---\nWhen I started writing, Emmiboo didn't post .. I should perhaps learn to type faster..!

You are only supposing. Let's get real. The reality is that God in His wisdom has created the universe. He created human beings in whom He has delight. As Master architect He knew the most conducive planet to keep this set of creation called human beings or Man. Science also tells us that the only habitable planet is the Earth. Planets closer to the sun are too hot. Planet beyond the earth farther away from the sun are too cold. No beings sharing the same nature as Man live in the universe apart from the earth. And know this that God has only ONE begotten Son. Other children God has are here on earth. They are the adopted children through faith in Jesus, the only begotten Son. They share the same nature with Jesus through conversion, rather than being cloned. They are the true Christians, You can call them the followers of Christ or the little christs.

Yes, TRUTH (what GOD Thinks, Says and Creates) is EVERY WHERE and at ALL Levels of Human Understanding.\nAnd The Holy Spirit is trying to Teach us too.  All of the Time.

Yes there is.  We are such a tiny part of this universe.  Only God knows the whole picture.
