The same chapter in Moses says there is no end to God's work and his words. Jesus is often called the Word. And as we are to progress to Godhood, and Jesus is our example, it would be only natural to presume that we might have to be the Word of God someday on some other planet... of which are innumerable
A thought entered my mind when I was reading all the previous postings. Since there is no end to Gods Word's (Christs). What if the Jesus we worship is only the Savior of this galaxy? As far as I know there are billions of galaxies. To people at that time that would be endless.
Just thought I would through this in. Lotsoflove.
I've wondered this same thing many times, and so far here's what I believe:
Jesus Christ is the savior of the rest of God's children.
"Aliens" are real, but not little green men with big black eyes.
I believe they may visit our earth, but they may be only allowed to study it because it wasn't made for them.
It's interesting because there may be other scriptures for other planets. It would only make sense. However, why are we so privilaged to inhabit the home that was once home to the savior of our universe (if he is the savior of the whole universe)?

We know that God has many worlds, so many in fact we would never be able to number them. The scriptures tell us that God has numberless words (christs) this is my bases for one christ and one satan per galaxy. Tonight look into the heavens and ponder it in your heart. It maybe too much for some people to grasp the idea that for every galaxy there is a different Christ and Satan. I'm not sure that it is true it's just a theory, but to mind it is completely possible.
I was thinking that after the last post I made. I was also thinking...maybe our earth isn't the only planet that was home to jesus. Maybe he visited the many worlds in physical form and suffered for their sins. What about adam and eve? What if the first couple on other planets didn't fall into sin?
But wouldn't that kind of be like correcting their agency? Well, if they chose right then they would still be able to be in god's presence, which might take away the purpose of that world (if they could just reside with god). I think I'm just going to accept what knowledge we have for this world on this subject...because I don't think we can take it much further. Anything else is just theory, unless it's inspired.
