Certainly there is a great chunk of people who need to do just that.

There’s another chunk who will not be reached that way; could not be coerced or enticed or anything else to do so . . .

yet who will pay some attention to the ET thing because it is different, a variation on Sci Fi etc. etc. etc.

Some of us feel called to be ready to reach out to them with understanding and THE TRUTH as well as warning unwitting Christians who might otherwise be seduced by such a slick deception.

Maybe I am not understanding...if ET is a deception then we study the deception so that we can reach people with the truth?

I understand that there will be some people that will not listen to the Truth, but then I don't see where we are to then use part of the “untruth” to reach them. Should we then study witchcraft to reach those that are deceived by that deception? (which are many thanks to Harry Potter and vampire films).

I do not think that the problems with reaching people with the Truth start from not understanding the deception but from a lack of living out the Truth in front of them.

Romans 3:3-4 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a lair. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”

God bless
