TO NANSINGS:
Why Near Death Experiences Do Not Prove That There
Are People & Life On Other Planets - https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2026/donnad710-2.htm
My Reply
When I was a
teenager, I became very interested in whether or not there
was life on other planets. I read through my Bible to
see if I could find anything about that.
While reading
my Bible one day the Holy Spirit opened my understanding re
Psalm 33:6: "By
the word
of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth."
I had been reading "word of the Lord" and "breath of His
mouth" as being one and the same thing, until I remembered
that in Genesis God spoke everything but mankind into being;
i.e., "Let there be light.." I had just assumed "host"
were the stars, or angels, like we have been taught to
believe.
But when God
made Adam, He blew into Adam's nostrils His "breath of life"
and what happened? Adam became a "living soul."
That's when it hit me. Inanimate
objects don't need God's "breath of life!" I
had finally found the verse I was looking for that would
indicate God made human/human-like life throughout "the
heavens." I noticed too that the verse didn't use a
singular form of "heaven," but rather a plural one.
The semi-colon, or "and," was dividing that which was
inanimate (stars, planets, etc.) from that which required
God's "breath of life" in order to be a "living soul" (i.e.,
human/human-like).
Below are two
verses that lend credence to Psalm 33:6 and there are others
as well.
It is He that sitteth
upon the circle of the Earth,
and the inhabitants thereof are as
grasshoppers;
that stretcheth out the heavens
as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
God is
talking about the heavens (not just
the Earth) as a "tent to dwell in." That
means there has to be
people in those heavens dwelling in them. They may
not all look like us, but they needed God's "breath of
life" in order to breathe as a "living soul."
Thus saith God the Lord, He
that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; He that spread
forth the Earth, and that which
cometh out of it; He that giveth
breath unto the people upon it,
and spirit
to them that walk therein:
As for
whether or not there is sin on all other worlds, only God
knows, but we can't negate all 'life after death'
experiences just because some don't add up. That's
like "trying to paint with too broad a brush," so to
speak.
I have come
to the conclusion from reading many NDEs from all over the
world, that Jesus
doesn't tell everyone everything in their first
encounter with Him so as not to pre-empt where they are
in their spiritual learning experience if He is going to
send them back to Earth because their time here is an
on-going learning process. Also, depending
on where the person is in their knowledge and/or
relationship with Him, He doesn't always show His
face. He will appear to those who don't have an
intimate relationship with Him only as a bright light.
As far as
the test for sin elsewhere in the universe, as you will
recall, Satan was cast down to the Earth where he is the
"prince of the power of the air." When Satan tempted
Jesus, he invited Jesus to worship him, stating all the
kingdoms of the world were his to give. [Matt. 4:8-9] That
will be the case only until Jesus puts down all rule,
authority and power. [1 Cor. 15:24] Evidence of that
was given when one alien, who met with George Adamski,
commented that they find it easier to get angry once they
are in Earth's environment.
We have
reason to believe the possibility that not all planets
have sin based on the well- documented account of a
Baptist minister, Rev. Barney and his wife, Betty Hill,
who were abducted by aliens one night on their way
home. Barney had the presence of mind while on board
their craft to ask the Captain of the UFO "What about
Jesus?" Barney wanted to know what they knew about
Jesus, if anything. The Captain replied, "Jesus
is savior of 12 worlds of which yours is the most
evil."
That is certainly possible as millions of
people have been abducted by aliens over time,
especially in the 20th and 21rst Centuries and taken
to other worlds where, no doubt, they have been used
in hybrid breeding experiments which would spread
Adam's sin seed to aliens as well. So,
alien/human hybrids
need salvation as a result. Perhaps that's where
the Vatican gets their idea of baptizing aliens.

Rev. Howard Storm, Sr. Pastor, Covington
United Church of Christ, made the following
observations during his brief visit to Heaven:
What Other Beings Look Like - By
Dr. Howard Storm:
"Jesus wasn't a carpenter on
every single one of these worlds. Our world is
on the lower level of spiritual development. In
many of these [other] worlds Jesus didn't have to go
and be crucified and die on the cross for their sins.
"There are worlds where
people are perfectly good, have no sin and don't
allow evil to be a part of their lives. There are worlds
where the people have chosen good and rejected
evil and lived a life profoundly in the love of God
and of their neighbors. Jesus could go to
these worlds and just bless them and they
happily accepted Him. Can you imagine a world
where Jesus came and people said, "Yes, we knew and
understood this is what you wanted us to be.
Thank you for being a revelation.
From the beginning of time we have known you and
understood the way you wanted us to live."
"This world, Earth, is unique because of the
degree, not only of temptation, but the willingness to
accept temptation and failing the testing that we are
in.
"When I asked to see what other intelligent
beings looked like, images of beings were paraded in
front of me. They started off as humans and then
they got a little stranger looking, and a little
stranger looking, and then they became unrecognizable as
human beings and looked very weird. I said, "Okay,
I get it. They can be shaped in very different
ways. Fine, I get it."
"In other words there are worlds in which
they have this kind of shape (Ed., human) and worlds
where they take on very different kinds of shape.
But the shape of us in this world is of little
importance. What is important is our spiritual
being because we are beings of light - beings of
love. In a sense, this tent that we live in now is
not who we truly are -- and in our immortal bodies we
are glorious. In this body it's more like a little
pup tent, or prison." -- Howard Storm NDE / scroll way

"The four key elements for life
are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. A
typical star produces these elements more than any
other, with the exception of Helium. In
other words, the Universe is predisposed for promoting
life!
"There are billions of stars in
our galaxy alone, with one to five planets in their
Habitable Zone orbiting them." -- - EarthSky, 11/5/13
"Scientists from University of
California, Berkeley and University of Hawaii, Manoa,
have statistically determined that twenty percent of
Sun-like stars in our galaxy have Earth-sized planets
that could
host life. The findings, gleaned from
data collected from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft and the W.
M. Keck Observatory, now satisfy Kepler’s primary
mission [which is] to determine how many of the
100 billion stars in our galaxy have potentially
habitable planets.
“What this means is, when
you look up at the thousands of stars in the night
sky, the nearest sun-like star with an Earth-size
planet in its habitable zone is probably only 12 light
years away and can be seen with the naked eye.
That is amazing,” said UC Berkeley graduate student Erik
Petigura, who led the analysis of the Kepler and Keck
Observatory data.
"It is overwhelmingly
likely that our vast wonderous Universe is teeming
with life.
"Our Earth is incredibly old –
4.5 billion years. (Ed., It was destroyed by satan
and the 1/3rd fallen angels when they were cast out of
Heaven -- between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 -- and was
recreated. That's why God told Adam and Eve to "replenish"
the Earth. Genesis 1:28) And yet, the Bible
tells us that the Lord had you and me in mind, before
the foundation of the world. His plan for us has
been unfolding for billions of years. Deep
time refers to the entirety of geologic
history, an unimaginable length of time that goes far
beyond our human scale. Only an infinite God could
plan at such scales.
"In fact, the Lord’s plan was in
place before He even created the Universe:
"Paul, a slave
of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to build up
the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the
truth that leads to godliness, in
the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before
time began. (Titus
1:1-2)
"He has saved us and called us with
a holy calling, not
according to our works, but
according to His own purpose and grace, which
was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
(2 Timothy 1:9)
"Praise the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed
us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the
heavens. For He chose us in Him,
before the foundation of the world, to be
holy and blameless in His sight. In
love, He predestined us
to be adopted through Jesus Christ for
Himself, according to His favor and will, to
the praise of His glorious grace that He
favored us with in the Beloved. (Ephesians
1:3-6) Article source: raptureandendtime@gmail.com
