The question really begins with, is Adam the first man of all worlds, including others? If Christ came to redeem Mankind from not only their own actions (sin), but also Adam's downfall (death), then all of Mankind would have to be descended from Adam (?). As for green creatures, there is no stipulation that disallows visitors from other universes, planes, etc... allowing for other creatures created by other gods.

Do other planets have a Savior? |
Being that I do not have access to some of those areas and I have not read every single post on every board, the question was meant to draw attention to the fact that Christ's atonement is integrally connected to Adam. We have to look at that connection in order to determine whether Christ's atonement is valid for humans on other planets or not. Blood lineage is an extremely important connection that links all of us to Christ. If people on another planet do not have that link how can they have claim on Christ as their savior?
Well in the Mature Board we are Discussing if Adam and Eve starts up each earth and the methods used, but the Thread is not about that, the determination of which is if a Savior is necessary for each earth too or if Christ's atonement on this earth covers other earths as well is the subject.
According to your second Post which better explains your position you feel that there must be a Savior for each earth. The way you started off in questions seemed to draw the Discussion into off topics - something very easy to happen here if one does not clarify what it is they are getting at immediately. One thing is lacking though... what is your source material for your opinion about there being a Savior on each earth?
My post does not say that there is a savior for each earth. It states, that in my opinion, Christ's atonement has to be connected to those it serves. Following this logic, this earth is the firstborn of earths and the fountain of all other peoples on other planets. There is no source material for this because this is not spoken of in any scripture or otherwise. I have read nearly everything legitimate in our religion and much of what is discussed here is opinion, there are little facts available other than the basics with which we must truly dedicate ourselves. My opinion is that Christ is the redeemer for the other earths because they are truly HIS sheep, his bretheren, his people. They all come from the One Father, Adam. I believe they were taken from this place to populate the other worlds when the earths were all much closer together, prior to the Flood. Islands in the sea (often referred to in the scriptures) may refer to other lands on this earth, but it may also refer to other planets within the universe. In the creation story, the Lord brings together the waters before the earth is even formed. This may be the only way that earlier peoples could refer to the matter of space. IF this matter is seen as waters, then what is the sea but outer space?

Comments: Each earth has to have its own testimony of redeeming blood in order to atone for the sins of its inhabitants under the eternal plan of salvation which have been instituted by the Gods. Each "Son of God" who creates an earth, would have to be on the same par as Jehovah of the Old Testament, and also as Jesus of the New Testament, becoming a savior to atone for the sins of His creation. The Plan of Salvation requiring a "messiah" is universal in that every "round of creation" has to follow the same pattern establilshed by the Gods in order to progress. However, one idea to speculate on is... If Jehovah has created worlds without number inhabited by humans... Is it not conceiveable that Jehovah / Jesus has provided an "infinite" atonement for all of his creation by being reborn on each of his other planet creations as their Messiah, repeating the same blood sacrifice done on our earth? Does not the scriptures say that Jesus (Jehovah) has the power to lay down his life and take it up again as often as he desires?
