As the leader of the church I am constantly sent emails and Facebook
messages about varies issues and topics and one topic that comes up time and
time again these days is the issue of extraterrestrial life and life on other
planets. The question keeps getting asked of us "Do you believe"
"Do you think there are Aliens and life on other planets" Well that
is a very interesting question and one that keeps cropping up time and time
again and a question that seems to be important to a lot of you out there so I thought
that I would take the time and give you all on official answer.
The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ believes in life on
other planets we believe in extraterrestrial life and we believe that God has
created other worlds and has peopled them. We believe that some have passed
away and some are in existence today. We make this bold stance because we have
been told so by God himself. In a revelation given to the prophet Joseph Smith
in June of 1830 which is now at the beginning of the inspired version of the
Bible states in verses 21through to 24 this is what it says concerning life on
this earth and others.
21 And the Lord God said unto Moses, For mine own purpose have I made these
things. Here is wisdom, and it remaineth in me. And by the word of my power
have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and
truth. And worlds without number have I created, and I also created them for
mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.
And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many. But only an
account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you; for behold
there are many worlds which have passed away by the word of my power; and there
are many also which now stand, and numberless are they unto man; but all things
are numbered unto me; for they are mine, and I know them.
22 And it came to pass, that Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, Be merciful
unto thy servant, O God, and tell me concerning this earth, and the inhabitants
thereof; and also the heavens, and then thy servant will be content.
23 And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying, The heavens, they are many and
they can not be numbered unto man, but they are numbered unto me, for they are
mine; and as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof, even so shall
another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words; for this is
my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality, and eternal life of
man.
24 And now, Moses, my son, I will speak unto you concerning this earth upon
which thou standest; and thou shalt write the things which I shall speak. And
in a day when the children of men shall esteem my words as naught, and take
many of them from the book which thou shalt write, behold I will raise up
another like unto thee, and they shall be had again among the children of men,
among even as many as shall believe.
So you see God has made it very clear that there have been
other worlds that have passed away and some that are now standing, and they all
have life on them but he was only going to instruct Moses on the life on this
planet. As the prophet and leader of The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ I
will not stand back and give a politicians answer but rather I will state what
the Lord has stated, yes we do believe in life on other worlds and we do believe
that they are out there and they have a loving God and they have a creator who
has placed them as he placed us on a planet fit for them to live and thrive and
grow. So we are not alone and there is no need to think otherwise because we
have Gods word that tells us so. So if you believe as we do then you have a home with us, we will not ridicule you but fine you the answers that you have been missing and those answers are found with God.
