How many worlds filled with people has God made?

How many worlds filled with people has God made?

Just one, earth.

Those that know how spacial mankind is to the Lord know this already.

It should be evident thru Jesus going to the Cross for mankind.

There's numerous cults that get in to what you are talking about, so you are on the slippy slope to cultville.

 

[Dash RipRock]

….did he make them that way?

Wow!

I sure hope you start studying God's Word as it has answers to why darkness is here and why so many are in darkness.

 

[NotTheRock]

Would they be fallen races also? Death and entropy seem to be built into this ununiverse.

Yea, all fallen and all in need of a savior.

Yea, because you know everything that happens to us in Heaven. Thanks for the laugh!

 

[NotTheRock]

Death isn't such a bad thing. Living eternally with all the problems of aging seems drastically worse.

For sure!

 

[NotTheRock]

If you think that the Universe is filled with other sentient beings of God’s creation, then why is the situation on earth so awful? Why are humans beings such poor examples of God’s creation….did he make them that way? Why would he? And why would he create other worlds until he gets this one sorted out?

Have you heard of a prototype? Or an experimental model? What if God created this world and ran a trial to see if beings made with his qualities and attributes, could also be endowed with free will.
Creators and inventors do this….they modify and tweak their models until they get them to the point where they are working up to expectation, and then they bring them to market.

Could the human race be undergoing some tweaking?…..learning how to drive free will whilst being obedient to their Creator at the same time? It’s a balancing act….whose will should come first?

What would be the point? Wouldn’t it be easier if God’s children just did as they were told, relying on him to guide and direct them? God promised that if his children were obedient, he would bless them….it is very apparent why he withholds his blessing. Our actions show that we don’t deserve them…..we are too selfish.

Here’s a thought….what if one day God has all obedient children, because he got sick and tired of the disobedient ones and got rid of them….?

No, that would be ridiculous. Do you have any idea why humans are even living on this planet? What kind of life did God intend for us? Is this it? If you think so, then best you get stuck into some Bible study….

Holy cow. Have a Xanax and relax.

Is it? I read the other day that the average middle-class American's standard of living is about the same as that of King George III - the most powerful monarch the world had ever seen just a couple centuries ago.

The seriousness of the problems we face on this earth relate to where we live it seems.
Is “the standard of living” in our country related to what others in many parts of the world, suffer?
I have noticed in conversations with many Americans that they have been taught to focus first and foremost on their own nation, once touted as one of the best countries in the world to live…unless you are poor, and have no job or health insurance….then it’s a very different story often defined by what state you live in.

The USA was the only country to have “World Series Baseball” with only Americans competing. America is not “the world”, and so many Americans have no idea how other people in other nations, live. They therefore have little to compare themselves with….and believe their own MSN propaganda.

“The standard of living“ is dropping for the many in western nations, including the US, whilst the few in the top positions of wealth seem to wield the power. The rich are getting richer, but the poor and homeless are multiplying exponentially, because “the working poor” are not earning enough to pay rent and are bringing up their children sleeping in their cars or in cramped cheap motel rooms. Homelessness now is epidemic. Such greed as this world encourages, knows no pity.

 

[Aunty Jane]

Holy cow. Have a Xanax and relax.

Find me a holy cow and I might ….you seem clueless as to what is about to take place on this earth…..
Inform yourself…..there is no excuse for ignorance. You won’t be laughing then I assure you.

 

[Aunty Jane]

Wow!

I sure hope you start studying God's Word as it has answers to why darkness is here and why so many are in darkness.

Did you read my reply correctly? You are not responding to what I said, but only apparently to what you think I said……read it again….

“The tent of God is with mankind…And death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Mankind is humans on this earth.

Even the animals will be at peace, with each other & with us! - Isaiah 11:6-9

Such scenario, ie., God’s promise, sounds good to me!

Keep this in mind , there are fallen angels in our realm too . We know this from the book of Daniel .
It has been postulated that fallen entities are what is in control of some of the what we now call UAP's . So could we at sometime see the fallen entities masquerading as Aliens from another planet ?

All of these TV shows and movies with Aliens , we have been programmed to believe when they show themselves in a big way .

I think people have witnessed angels and misinterpreted them as being aliens, angels of light appearing in what looks like a spaceship.

In Ezekiel 1:16-18 and 10:9-13, Ezekiel describes a vision of four living creatures, each with four faces and wings, traveling with sparkling and colorful wheels within wheels moving in all directions without turning, alongside the living creatures.
These are the Cherubim. Then there are Seraphim and then archangels.
That could be confused as a spaceship.
Fallen angels are demons, this is what I was taught. Demons are not some separate invisible entity created by God. Satan has no creative powers in that way, just evil influence and acts.
Lucifer was an archangel, fell from grace and is now called Satan.
Demons can masquerade as people who have died, deceiving people into thinking they are really seeing a ghost of the person. Principalities are in control of many regions of the world, like China, Russia, India, Muslim nations, etc. They are trying desperately to gain control of the USA, but recently God thwarted Satan's plan. Still the nation is divided and Satan has at least a portion captured, corrupted, believing good is evil and evil is good. Likely most of the dallen angels are locked up. Jesus sent a legion to the Abyss and cast out others. Many remain. 200 million will be released from the Abyss during the Great Tribulation manifested as demon- locusts, then as horsemen possessing mankind to war against God. Hope I'm not here for that.

Is it? I read the other day that the average middle-class American's standard of living is about the same as that of King George III - the most powerful monarch the world had ever seen just a couple centuries ago.

Better than his, we got electricity, refrigeration, fruits and veggies year round, flushing toilets, telephone,
elevators, cars, trains, boats, planes ... some may add , TV, computers (which take from the quality and time from our relationships). I think maybe King Solomon might be a little envious if he saw what we had and likely trade his life for ours? He would 't have to threaten to cut a baby in half to find out who the real parent was with a simple DNA test!

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

Would they be fallen races also? Death and entropy seem to be built into this universe.

Good point, it proves that because of Adam and Eve's sin, evil, death, distortion and corruption, not only on a spiritual level, but a physical level as well, effecting all life and spreading out to the universe, means that the entire universe was subject to their act. God would not subject other alien races in other worlds to one sin on one planet if there were any. That sin was passed down to us because we are related, they are our parents. Hence entropy proves also that nobody is out there.

Aunty, I live in America, so of course I'm going to speak from what I know. Feel free to substitute Australia (or wherever you know) and I think my original statement remains true.

Any comparison of today to a couple hundred years ago is going to show that we've got it good. The world is improving!

Fallen angels are demons, this is what I was taught.

Exactly which bible verses were used to teach that ? I have not seen scripture that shows that .
Demons can not fly but fallen angels can , two different kinds of entities of the fallen realm .
Demons are the ground troops and the fallen angels are the airforce so to speak .

Lucifer was an archangel, fell from grace and is now called Satan.

Yes and other angels fell with him , we see two of them mentioned in the 10th Chapter of Daniel . They are still with us in this world .

Daniel 10:13 Context​

10And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. 12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. 15And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. 16And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

Likely most of the dallen angels are locked up.

Some of them are , the ones that did not keep their first estate . Jude 1:6 .

6And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Anyone who thinks the western world is “improving“ hasn’t taken into consideration the level of poverty that exists today in once wealthy nations.…or should I say nations controlled by the wealthy elite?

It’s not the standard of the well paid minority, but the standard of living in a growing majority, as some once poor nations now have the jobs that our citizens used to have….and their job security was taken for granted….but the bigger these corporations are, the more heartless they become, and cheap manufacturing was too big a carrot to ignore. Profits were all that mattered….such is the nature of capitalism….dog eat dog.
Are we dogs? The ladder of success is littered with corpses.

The jobs and manufacturing industries moved offshore and made other nations rich at our expense….did the politicians care? What was done to save the jobs and to keep the manufacturing in their own nation as security for their future citizens? Even the food we buy in our supermarkets is more often than not, grown in another country….and kept in cold storage for so long that their nutritional value is next to nothing. Not to mention the farming methods used to produce what we eat.

We might be better off in our technology, but where does that offset the abject poverty of a growing majority? Those people living in their cars hold down jobs, but can’t earn enough to satisfy greedy landlords. Once thriving manufacturing cities are now ghost towns. There are almost as many living on the streets as there are in proper housing.

You have to turn a blind eye not to see it….and my own country is experiencing the very same thing.
It’s election time here soon and the campaigns of empty promises, and fear mongering against their competitors begins again in earnest, as if anyone can believe them anymore?

Religion and politics used to be debated hotly in my country…but not anymore because Aussies are not ones to put up with empty promises and blatant hypocrisy. But we are also by nature, apathetic. If it wasn’t compulsory to vote in my country, hardly anyone would bother.…and religion is seen as a bit of a joke. All it’s good for are the annual holidays when those who can afford it, go somewhere else to have fun and get paid for it. Token church goers may turn up and put money in the coffers, (like a conscience salve) but other than that churches are closing down as they are seen as good for very little. Those that remain often have to jostle for a pastor, and he usually goes to the church who will pay the most for his services.

Any wonder my country is so secular.…like a lot of others.
We don’t pretend to be religious, but it is clear that our politicians sometimes pretend to be, only to curry favor with everyone so as to garner votes.

This is why Jesus told us to be “no part of the world”….we are to support a heavenly kingdom, not an earthly one. (John 17:16; John 18:36) We will fight for that kingdom with spiritual weapons, but never for the governments of this world with carnal weapons. (Romans 12:17-21)

Who is running this show? (1 John 5:19)

 

[Berean]

Only Earth?

Doesn't it seem likely that God has created gazillions of worlds with uncountable numbers of people?

The scriptures are clear, Jesus created the universe, he created all life (spiritual and human) except of course the Father, who created Him. (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-17)

Here's a thought. Maybe one day you too will help God to create a new world filled with sinful people and that YOU will go into the world to be the Christ for them.

Wouldn't that be something?

Yes, it would be something, however, as far as we know, earth is the only planet with human life. It is my belief, that after the millennium, when fallen mankind has been restored to human perfection, that our heavenly Father will allow the Church to go throughout the universe to create life on other planets. NEVER again to allow sin and death to interfere with God's plan. Earth will forever remain the prototype to teach humanity what happens when we disobey God's law.

Nations operate in cycles. Sounds like yours in on the downturn. Mine is too. But when one ends, another emerges.

You have to look at a longer time-frame.
