A Question For Christians. by Karlebolu(m): 4:34pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Imagine if we were able to colonize Mars or relocate to one of those planets, galaxies or possibly universes that support life in the next few years. It is said in the Bible that the second coming of Jesus and rapture will happen on this earth. What will happen to those people who have relocated to another planet or maybe another galaxy? Or another universe? This is not an attack at your belief, it just an honest question. 2 Likes |

"What will happen to those people who have relocated to another planet or maybe another galaxy? Or another universe?" FOR YOUR HYPOTHESIS TO MAKE ANY SENSE AND OR MEANING. Provide the evidence for any of the locations indicated, where people and or humans have either located and or relocated, please? |

How would Elon musk do in couple of years, what the Russians have not done since the discovery in the 50s? ANYWAY, HEAVEN IS STILL WAY ABOVE THE LOCATIONS YOU MENTIONED. Meaning, wherever you are below it, will still be able to see CHRIST from above. 2 Likes |

Karlebolu: The bitter truth is humans will never relocate to any other planet apart from earth! WHY? This is the one and only planet HE (God) made for life to exist {Psalms 115:16} God is planning to renovate the earth now {Isaiah 65:17} not because there's any flaws in His work {Genesis 1:31} but because humans turned out to be ungrateful and self destructive {Revelations 11:18} therefore don't rely on your fellow imperfect man's assumption because it will never work!

I'm not talking mass exodus here. Man will eventually get to Mars but it would be on a luxury level. That is, those that can afford it will go there on a vacation. If you think this is far-fetched, as at now we have people in space. So what if rapture or second coming occurs while a billionaire is cooling off in Mars or an habitable planet in another galaxy? 2 Likes |
Re: A Question For Christians. by Steep(m): 6:29pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Karlebolu:It will not. Christians would be raptured irrespective of where they are. When Jesus comes back all humans would be on earth, the apocalyptic events would ensure that. Jesus said there shall be signs in the heavens and signs on earth. the conditions of other planets would suddenly degenerate forcing humans to leave or die during the tribulation period, no human can escape the tribulation except those that are raptured. |
Re: A Question For Christians. by Steep(m): 6:39pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
One of the problems with doubters or Nay sayers is that they think things would continue to remain the same. This period we are is called the church age, the earth enjoys relative peace but once the rapture happens, the day of day Lord would come and suddenly the universe would be in turmoil. Every human infrastructure will collapse, those outside the earth would either be forced to return or die. |

Karlebolu: Reasonable question! That would be tantamount to one of your toys escaping from one shelf to another. So does that toy truly escape from you? Clearly No! it is still in your house where anything you wish to do on it can be implemented without hindrance. |

Mickykarim: ---- Amen! There is no way, or place to escape the Lord JESUS, the CHRIST (Hebrews 4:12-13) "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You." - Psalm 139:7-12 Hebrews 3:15 "while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” 1 Like |

Mickykarim: It really does not matter. It is possible to make living there possible however they can not escape the reach of God. I can see God laughing at them even right now saying "You think you can escape me by fleeing to a barren land?" O man is a very funny creature indeed. because he can think, he thinks he can evade his Creator! O what a great fool he is! 1 Like |

Re: A Question For Christians. by Karlebolu(m): 7:01pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker: I do not agree with this. Besides, the Bible never made reference to another planet or galaxy. John clearly didn't know about the space in the Revelation and I do not know how the holy spirit didn't tell him about it. You can be the most wanted criminal in Nigeria and be an innocent man in Saudi Arabia, that's the kind of comparison that relates here. That's by the way tho. 2 Likes |

Karlebolu: it does not need to. In fact do you not see that if God finds them anywhere else other than earth, their matter don worse pata-pata? Exactly as a child hiding in the toilet when daddy was looking for him, his matter got aggravated and worse. Karlebolu: By the way, remember, wanted criminals get deported or get tried in the Forum Courts where they fled to. But this is men of semi equal standing. So, remember, when you fled to your neighbours' place, did you escape Popsies punishment? Could your neighbour stop him? |

Dtruthspeaker: I don't understand why you think space exploration is an escape from God's judgment. Why did Pakistan not release Osama bin laden to US? My point is, the Bible didn't make any reference to the what will happen to those that were not in earth at the time of rapture or the second coming, these are events recorded in the Bible to occur on earth, why? 2 Likes |
Re: A Question For Christians. by Dtruthspeaker: 7:59pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Karlebolu: Even your question clearly proves that is why you ask! Karlebolu: Simply because they have the right to condone and defend criminals in their House, against other men of equal standing. Which did not happen in the cases of Nnamdi Kanu (Kenya) and Sunday Igboho (Benin Republic) But not when A Higher demands you release a criminal in your custody. You will certainly Obey! Karlebolu: And my Answer is, it does not need to for it is even the worsest thing a person can do to himself! That person should have committed suicide on earth, that would have been better for him. than to have gone to try to hide in mars or any planet. Exactly as convicts who escape from prison, O what suffering awaits them! |
Re: A Question For Christians. by Steep(m): 8:12pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Karlebolu:Who told you God reside in space? God is above the heavens Psalms 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) |
Re: A Question For Christians. by budaatum: 8:14pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Karlebolu: You are asking us to predict what might not happen until the year of our Lord 3001 or closer to then than today. First, the rocket that takes people to other planets would likely be called Rapture. The first verses of Genesis were read on the moon so do not think it might not be. Second. Depending on communication, which I expect to be second to none by then, they'd invite those on earth to help colonise the new planet just as Europeans were invited to colonise the new world when it was discovered. Hopefully, by then, colour truly wouldn't matter or Africans would remain on earth! The first arrivals on the new planet would be scientists and engineers of course, so expect them to build a temple to science as opposed to any Gods conceived up to then, and if you can't ask and knock and seek with your senses, expect to remain on earth. Hopefully, new planet colonisation won't be because we finally managed to create hell on earth and some smart people found a way to the heavens. If not, those remaining will burn while those who left, lamb and lion and as many virgins as one can consume, which would obviously mean more women on the new planet because virgin men are rare, which would be good for the new planet since women are more long term thinking and reproductive than men. P.s. This is not a belief, but mere idle speculation based on no facts nor evidence, and buda is not Christian, so my bad. 1 Like 1 Share |

Karlebolu: This is why you guys need the knowledge and wisdom from above. No normal believer will snub at science because God wants us to live and make thorough research so as to discover all the potentials of this our planet home {Genesis 1:26-28} but without wisdom from above science will become worthless. For instance take a deep breath and meditate on the highlighted, the only meaning in wealth is what you're able flaunt in the presence of those lacking it but where there's no one around you to see it then the organizers of such luxury need to take shots and videos of what you're enjoying which they have to make extra effort to convince others in watching it so they can feel the need. Hostesses, waiters, receptionists, cleaners and many other servants must be available not to talk of his family/friends. In order for a billionaire to feel the power of his or her wealth the money must do everything while he/she only enjoys it otherwise he/she will have to do so many things all by himself. So for the organizers of such luxury to make it complete more hands are needed to make the billionaire feel comfortable with his/her money! Though it will never work i'm just trying to reason from the perspective of an atheist like you who feels money is everything! 1 Like
