I will worry about this when the time comes.

Bible-believing Christians know "aliens" aren't real.

Something like aliens...I think would fall outside of what would be considered acceptably left out of the foundational text of existence.
So you believe there's a chance "aliens" from "another galaxy" may have been mentioned as part of the original Biblical text, but was omitted?
Fascinating.

here's the thing jethrine, the notion of a rapture is not part of the official doctrine of any mainstream protestant sect not even the southern baptist it's a notion that's a little over a hundred years old. you've been bamboozled.
you're stuck on earth buddy, get used to it you'll die soon enough and then you'll have your answers.

We are already seeing what the effects would be. Even here in the USA, we see it. We know. We are doing nothing about it now. So what will keep it from totally taking over if the rapture takes place?
If you are gone why would you care?

Correct.
Christians were about 0.000000000001% of the world's population at the time. Plenty of people in the world outside of that flock.

No. I'm specifically not arguing that.
I'm addressing the people who believe what you quoted and then stating it would cause some major issues with the religion itself.
There are certain topics and subjects that ben reasonably accepted not being mentioned in the Bible as to not raise any questions about the text or foundation of the religion. Aliens fall outside of this and would cause major issues.

I did... you are getting these rules from somewhere, but they simply do not fit into a worldview of all creation being created by God who exists outside of our "rules".
My authority on this is scripture, what's yours?

When you have to fall back to this, then you've given up participating in the discussion at hand.
When a topic about Christianity is being discussed and logical-factual issues are pointed out, if you pivot to the "well God is all powerful and can do anything he wants", then you've resigned from the conversation. You know what else God could have done? Create Islam and Mormonism. And then made Jim Jones the next prophet of his word.
See how silly that gets?

You can call them aliens... others call them angels or demons. Either definition fits the fact they are not terrestrial.

This is the argument of an atheist. We obviously aren't going to have the same worldview.
I have taken notice that you have provided no authority for these "rules" you've come up with explaining the necessary differences between angels and aliens.
Why is that? By what authority or knowledge base do you make these proclamations?

Sure, but there's a huge difference in existing as a corporeal being and ethereal being, correct?

My comment had nothing to do with worldview

I've shown logically the theological problems they present.

No. You proffered rules that you refuse to name how or where or why you came up with them then mocked me because the Bible is my authority on this matter.

In the Bible it is recorded that angels have visited with corporeal bodies- and again, the Bible is my authority on this.
You may be a very intelligent person on many things, but you are out of your depth on this- and as much as I agree and disagree with you in other threads I have never thought you were a dummy.
When it comes to faith and theology... you aren't as smart as you think you are. I don't mean that as an insult, but you just obviously are not versed even minimally in scripture and don't understand how faith is bolstered both by scripture and logic, in things seen and unseen.

preachers learned a long time ago that there is plenty of money to be made off rapture prophecy. the left behind guys made millions. 9 pages here show how quickly it draws a crowd.

I didn't mock you. Corporeal aliens are not in the Bible. There is no textual authority for them.

And when they weren't on Earth? Did they go back to a corporeal planet or an ethereal existence?

I'd rather be a "Prot" than the alternative. I don't really have any interest in being a subject of a Globalist puppet who wears a funny hat. I believe in the Trinity. I have no need for a man-made 4th wheel.
But, each to his/her own.

The definition of "globalist" expands further...

You're getting hung up on nomenclature... I already addressed this.

Angels are created beings, I don't know everything about them.
