Momentarily risking going off-topic (I'll reknit soon), and with only seemingly disrespect, I'll hang on for a few sentences.
The basics of this thread, as with so many other christian soldier missioning threads is spiritual bondage:
"Master, I deserve punisment for my sins".
Back to topic.
There IS war in heaven, according to many mythologies (later promoted to religions), the main difference between them being who the 'good' or 'bad' guys are. This thread is another recruitment effort to one of the sides, without many apparant rational arguments, but appealing to the masochistic part of mankind.
Such a recruiting method is far from unusual, because it in certain mindsets create a special very strong bond of submission towards whatever 'master' is promoted. This can not only be seen in mundane contexts, but also in the various perspectives on the (galactic?) war. Several sides present their existential principles, and support those principles by claims from channelled messages from the galactive council; 'seijdres' from Woden; meeting assorted angels, demons or other paranormal/allegedly supernatural beings; visiting heaven, hell or nirvana; going on astral travels.....whatever.
What's common for these approaches is, that 'such' principles seldom are taken as optional, they are mostly presented as indisputable 'truths',..... and that it's not up to the invidual to find his/her way through them, 'authority' will take care of that.
Thus I consider this thread from the perspective of orchestrating a scenario (willfully or from ignorance) by arranging the available information in such a way, that it is nothing more than a premature 'warning' against the alleged opposition of one side. Creating a feeling of general distrust except for falling in line with the strong, determined 'master' Jahveh.

then you have pointed out a contradiction in the bible
genesis 3
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
The only difference between man and god (as far as god is concerned) is not living as long

To those who do not believe this truth "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." (2 Thessalonians 2:11b)
I don’t understand this bit, why would bible god send a strong delusion?
Won’t this make bible god a liar and a cheat?
Why would a god go out of his way to delude people (using delusions and tricks are strategies used in conflict, how can bible god be in conflict with his creation?) – does anybody else think this bit is odd?
God weeds the strong from the weak, those who can open their hearts and believe over those who cannot or absolutely refuse to believe in Him and obey his laws. Christ will not save you if you cannot and will not believe in him, thats just the way it is.

You're exactly right. We can't assume that any E.T. life that visits Earth is going to be malevolent. That's just foolish.
In my opinion, I am convinced that there are other beings like Jesus in the Universe, and probably whole civilizations that are equal to or greater than his capabilities. Jesus himself said that mankind had the potential to do greater things than him, and I truly believe we do.
So any civilization that comes to Earth that would be way older than we are have more than likely harnessed this potential that Jesus himself said was harnessable. In other words, aliens might be indistinguishable from Gods.

What if aliens are Demons coming to Earth because God is letting them out of the Pit when our Sin reaches a certain level?
They will set themselves up as Gods and when "aliens" come, that's EXACTLY how people will see them --as Gods.
Maitreya calls himself and his fellow Masters "Ascended Masters."
The people on earth were chosen by God specifically to be on Earth at this moment in Time.
So the Deception is that aliens are beings from other planets, and not what they really are...Demons.
Not one single movie, book, or song depicts aliens as Demons.
I had a meeting with local clergy a couple years back and I told them of my idea. Even they were so excited about my idea and NONE of them even thought of it from that point of view. The Bible phrase, "All will be deceived, even the elect" comes to mind. Only those with God really in their hearts will not be deceived.
A couple days later I got a call from a very higher up who wanted to hear my story from Beginning to End and everything else that I didn't mention days earlier. They were very excited!
So, that's what I believe is really happening.

I told you it was an ANALOGY. There's more to it than just that. Theres the love factor. Jesus IS Lord, he IS the Word, he IS the messiah and he IS God. God loved you enough to come to earth in the guise of a Man, to save your soul if you would believe in him so that you don't have to die the spiritual death. It is his wish that you keep his commandments (laws) as much as possible but he's not going to destroy you outright if you fail now and then. When he saves you, it is forever but is not a license to sin to your hearts desire because those desires are supposed to pass away from you as you grow in him. You do not have to die the second death, but it is your choice if you so choose.
