"Possible signs of life on distant exo-planet."


I may have sent something along this line recently, so if I did, sorry.  The possible finding of any life on an "exo-planet" (not in our solar system) raises incredible questions.  There are myriads and myriads of planets orbiting stars in our galaxy and in other galaxies.  The James Webb space telescope is discovering more all the time.  Any life would come under two types----- non-intelligent (plants, trees, lower forms of animals, etc.), and intelligent.  It is the possible "intelligent" life out there that is most intriguing.  Would they look like us, or would we consider them "monsters"?  And how does God figure into all of this?  And Jesus?  Could intelligent life have eternal life when they die if they meet certain criteria?  Throughout history past man has always considered himself to be alone in the universe.  Perhaps not so.

Jesus says in John 10:16:   "And I have other sheep, which are not of this "fold"; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd."   It has always been assumed that Jesus here is referring to the gentile nations of the world separate from Israel, but is it possible that He is referring to something else?  Intelligent life somewhere else in the universe?  And if so, did He have to die on a cross on that planet?

This email is going out to several pastors.  If you are a pastor and would like to comment on this, I would welcome your thoughts!  Or thoughts from anyone else who is receiving this email.  Perhaps even a sermon on this topic?

P.S.  Anyone receiving this email has my permission to send this out to anyone you wish, including pastors.

P.P.S.  While I have everyone, the hour is late in these End Times as Israel on May 14th will turn 76 years old (no spring matzo ball!).  The Rapture of the Church is drawing closer!   Ironically in light of this email, those left on earth after the Rapture in their unbelief will blame "aliens" for having removed people from the earth, and not Jesus' return.
