Well I dare say if they are anything like us they would feel their
mission to be Godly, after all you can't believe yourself to be made
in the image of God without feeling one has a certain monopoly on
Godhood and God given rights. That said if they are aware that the
Universe is teaming with intelligent sentient life which one might
suppose to be the case if they travel about in interstellar space
One might assume they have greater humility in relation to how they
behave and be less inclined to interfere in other Worlds.

Sensible, quite sensible.

Which I guess is the main problem. I suppose if they did reveal
themselves to ordinary people, people would start worshiping them as
Gods. I don't suppose they would want that.

Wouldn't seem to make sense to hide out for <fillin> years when they
could have been very GodLike in <fillin any previous date>

Well I suppose that may have already happened. Considering the Virgin birth
is actually possible with such things as artificial insemination, and even
cloning, some Biblical miracles such as John the Baptist being referred to
as Elijah and the the Virgin Birth itself are quite explainable in Earthly
scientific terms. Whether these things suggest alien intervention is a
matter of conjecture, but it's certainly one interpretation.

There are also stories of Angels or ET beings being involved in the
religions in other cultures.

So it certainly appears they may have already tried that one, and noted the
consequences are not always entirely desirable. :)

However I think at this point in Human development the results may be
somewhat different, but direct alien contact would certainly have a profound
and far reaching effect on certain power structures that exist on Earth at
present. However I think the belief in God or at least the awareness that we
really are part of something BIGGER would be consolidated and proven and I
think that would change the face of religion. Religion would be a more
personal and individual experience and less organised into power structures.

I think the real message that any ET would want to impart to
humanity is that we are all aspects or children of God as individual
parts of the life-force in the Universe and we need to take on that
responsibility instead of hiding behind organised religions as a way
of hiding from the responsibility for our individual actions. Which
I think is what Christ is basically saying once you cut through all
the nonsense imposed on the Gospels by manipulative people seeking
to control access to God in order to manipulate, control and wield
power over their fellow men.

It's nice to have a conversation with someone who isn't a first class
koo koo.

:) Well I think it's far more possible to question things in a rational way
these days without being considered mad. That's probably because of the
Internet which is a sort of Tree of Knowledge in itself and I think it has a
profound effect on Human development as all forms of communication have
throughout history. Whether this makes us ready for contact with ET
civilisations is perhaps debatable, but there certainly a number of
prophesies that indicate we are living in interesting times :)

Christianity as it is known today, does not contain the teachings of
the person that came to be known as 'Jesus'.
See
www.tjresearch.info
or more specifically, follow up anything you can about the
Talmud Jmmanuel text.

It should be noted that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are not
accurate in what they teach or preach.
These are simply power structures designed to control the public,
for those religions.

The concept of 'God' according to the Billy Meier material
is that, there was an ET giant, who called himself 'God' and appeared
to be like one, to the earth humans, this entity lived for thousands of years.
Likewise with his son, who continued the deception.
Perhaps this does explain the different names for 'God'?
Also what 'Jeus'/Jmmanuel taught, was not about 'God' at all, but The
Creation. He taught self responsibility and about being in touch with
The Creation, which we are all part of.
