.....and just as Jesus said that MANY would come in his name but prove false - Matthew 7:21-23

Only 33% of Earth people are Christian. Why is Christianity a minority on Earth?

And that works.
... For Christians
. I'll stick with helping the other 5.5 billion. Since not everyone agrees with the singular view of deity as expressed within the Bible.

I don't think that any genuine followers of Jesus are hated. Now people will hate the fakes and the charlatans since they take a message that is not all that bad and twist it and tend to make it evil.
End Times as found at Revelation 12:12; Revelation 12:9 because Satan's end time is nearing.What do you mean by "ET Disclosure"? It sound like some crank idea. Extraterrestrials? End Times?
So, if Satan and his demons are considered as extraterrestrials - definitely 'end times' for their influence over Earth.

That has been the claim for 2,000 years. Are you forgetting that Jesus prophesized that some of his apostles would still be alive at the end times?
Right, Not everyone agrees with what Jesus taught and his view of Deity as he expressed at Revelation 4:11.And that works.... For Christians

Angels under Christ are also helping the 'other billions' by helping Jesus' followers accomplish the international assignment Jesus said to do at Matthew 24:14; Acts of the Apostles 1:8. - Revelation 14:6.
Telling others about the 'good news of God's kingdom government' in the hands of the 'stone' (vs 45) Christ Jesus.
- Daniel 2:44-45; Daniel 7:13-14.
Jesus will have earthly subjects (citizens) from sea to sea as found at Psalms 72:8; Psalms 72:12-14.
I don't read half of what you. Write when you quote numerous scripture passages.
I'm sorry you feel other religions are wrong and not a legitimate path to follow. Your religion is the only one (maybe Islam?). On a massive global conversion campaign to the detriment of other points of view. And because that absolutely destroyed my ancestors way of life, I have no respect for the process, and urge everyone to make it as absolutely difficult for Christians to proselytize as possible.
Are you forgetting Jesus illustration to his apostles at Luke 19:11-15 _______
Jesus does Not come back until his Glory Time found at Matthew 25:31-34.
If you are referring to the Transfiguration please remember it was Not a literal happening but a VISION- Matthew 17:9

No, it you read the prophesy he was clearly not talking about the transfiguration. Have you even read the prophesy where he failed so badly?
Please post which scripture passages. I quoted none of them. Just reference where my infor comes from.
Infor that is Not of my own originality.
An English teachers references English passages to teach English.
A History teachers references Historical passages to teach History.
But where is it written a Bible teacher or Bible student dare Not reference Bible passages _________
You posted links to like 5-8 differing passages. I'm not going out of my way to read them. To put the things you're saying into context.
I didn't. I said I wasn't going to listen to one who did.
I finished 3 years of Sunday school, catechism classes and all of that years ago, and there is no need to look back. I found what I was looking for then.

If you mean extra terrestrial, how do you propose "ET disclosure" change the Christian population in the world?

You are right. He is promoting his brand new profile here.
Christianity was growing during the Dark Ages, when one would be put to death or tortured for doing unchristian things.
Now, whole African tribes are slaughtered in northern Africa, supplanted by "peace loving" Muslims. If a Muslim (like Solmon Rushdie) steps out of line, there is a fatwa (death warrant) issued.
Violence is a powerful incentive.

I've heard of the "Green Party," but didn't realize that there was a "Little Green Man Party." If they plan to work here, I hope they have "Little Green Man Cards." Trump would deport them to Mexico. They'd protest that they are not Mexican, but that would make no difference (foreign is foreign).
The aliens might try to fool us into believing that they are peaceful, then zap us when we aren't looking. Not to worry, W. Bush would declare war and kill them all (all of the Martians) by the time they file for peace.
If they're anything like Marvin Martian, they might say "take me to your leader." We could show them
1. Kennedy (but he was interested in space so would make friends),
2. Nixon (crooked lawyer),
3. Gerald Ford (football player hired to be in charge of and botch the Kennedy Assassination investigation, then hired to pardon Nixon (after firing Agnew who refused to pardon him for Watergate).
4. Carter (peanut farmer, nuclear physicist, interested in the environment, ran country on shoestring (Congress defunded military budget), Fed Chairman (Volker) kept interest rates high though there was an inflation, making Carter look silly).
5. Reagan (actor who made photo ops. . . "tear down that wall" once they already had decided to tear it down. Made deals with terrorists to hold Iranian hostages, then look commanding to have them released.
6. Bush (CIA director, into MKULTRA mind reading and narcotics), roommate of Robert Lee Hooker (step son of Lee Harvey Oswald's boss, Russian born CIA agent George DeMohrenschildt). Reagan and Bush made the Iran-Contra scandal (helped dictator drug lords of Nicaragua and dictators of Iran, hurt Sandinistas who wanted kids educated).
The aliens would say...."no, seriously, take us to your leader. . . you know, the smartest person on the planet."
NASA just started yet another Project Blue Book, this time with better technology. Considering that it would take light 25,000 years to reach earth from the nearest galaxy, it is unlikely that they would travel to earth (are humans a menu item?). If we are looking for some alien in our own galaxy, we should focus our efforts on the plane of the flat spiral Milky Way (our galaxy).
If the aliens are highly advanced, we'd better give them anything that they want (at least at first while we learn their technology and catch up). We would not have a chance fighting them with our backward technology.
Would covid or monkey pox kill the aliens?
If aliens wanted to talk with us, why haven't they done so already? Maybe they've been monitoring our TV and radio, and determined that we have a death star that could wipe out planets (like Leia's from Star Wars)? Maybe they think that we have phasors, transporters, hovercraft, etc?
We just saw most of the nation "fight evil" in Iraq. That killed about 1,000,000 Iraqis. God said "thou shalt not kill." Oviously war directly defies God.

I don't believe those statistics. In America, it is still a majority, probably 65 percent. I realize church membership has gone a lot down. So some America is not Christian anymore. However even though church membership is low, I don't believe most of America has stopped having Christian beliefs.
