Another religious question

[Deacon]

If we believe that God created all things, and that one of God's creations, Man, sinned, and that God through his endless love decided to provide Man with a salvation plan and since our first parents fall, Man has been going down the path of salvation would God allow aliens from another planet who may or may not have sinned visit our planet and mix with a race that has sinned?
Suppose they have not sinned? And if they did did God give them the same salvation plan as the one he gave us? This is kind of far out there but it is the reason that I do not believe in UFO's. I do not believe that God would allow us to mix.

If God created the aliens as well, they are His children and therefore would have His blessing here and interacting with us in all ways.

Who do you think the 'Sons of God " were in Genesis chapter 6. ?

Deacon, I'am with you.
The earth is sick with a diease called sin, and is closed from the universe, I believe.

Aliens? That's a new one on me.

The sons of God were from the Godly line of Seth (Adams third son), the daughters of men were from the cursed line of Cain (remember, he killed Able and was cursed). When they interbred, the lineage became so corrupted by a downword and ever worsening spiral of sin and violence that God decided to destory the world in a flood.

The Godly not intermarrying the ungoldy is an idea enforced from the old testament through the new testament. Jesus even told us not to be unequally yoked.

I believe our planet is the only Eden God made. I've never seen any true evidence of aliens other than the border crossing kind.

The bible mentions what I believe to be aliens. It mentions the nephilim. The King James version translated this word as giants , but the actual hebrew definition is "those who came down". I am not a scholar but my wife is into it full time. She pointed this out to me and if I am not mistaken this race of "giants" did mix with humans. This is from memory , does anyone else know what I am talking about? She has a bible that has hebrew translations of words in the back of it and thats where she found the word translated to what I have told you today.

[Bowfin]

nephelim means "causing to fall" or "fallen". In Christian circles, fallen means to sin grievously, the near opposite of repentance. The word is also used to describe a name of the tribe of Cainanites, evidentally a tribe of large mean ones. In Numbers, they Nation of Isreal came to the promise land, but refused to enter because they were scared of the Nephalim (giants) in the land.

There are two camps on this scripture: one contends Nephalim are of the line of Cain (daughters of men) and intermarried with the line of Seth (sons of God), the other believes that the Nephalim are the offspring of angels that sinned by lusting after the daughters of men.

My understanding is that angels are spirit beings, are neither male nor female, and are unable to physically father children or marry.

It sounds like what most are asking in a round about way "Is there life out there'? Who's to say that God didn't create life elsewhere? I firmly believe that there is life out there somewhere. Consider the fact there are millions upon millions of stars in our galaxy and then there are millions upon millions of galaxies. Lets face it, the odds are very, very good that there are. Now whether they are Vulcans or Asgard type, another words very advanced, I don't know. Have they visited us? I don't know but I'd like to know. First thing that comes to mind is how do you explain the spaceship type drawings and the little gray men drawings found in caves and drawn by cavemen? Its got to make you wonder.

Isn't it entirely possible that we may be God's 100th or even millionth try at creating a race that would stay faithful to him? Unfortunately no one can possibly know for certain.
