I'm a straight-stick Christian, sold-out to Jesus, but around here I sometimes speak cagily for people who are listening. Meece meant that what Jesus did (as God) was so alien that it tops anything that can come from outer space. This builds on passages like Is. 28:21, about God's "alien task" NIV or "strange act" KJV. He said that to get people's attention, and so did Meece!
Several of us here have discovered Michael Heiser's research on the Near East interpretation of the divine council (some of which led to the Nephilim, cf. Jesus's teaching on Ps. 82). It explains most of the Scriptures where God deigns to sit at the head of a council of gods (angels), speaking at their level as the Angel of Yahweh. That is exactly how Jesus came to speak at our level, without losing anything of the classic creeds or the common confession of the church.
So when someone wants an alien to save us from ourselves, he can find no better than Jesus! Thank you for your understanding.
Jesus is the beginning and the end. he's wild because he's the Creator himself. it's not alien, it's the most ancient thing in existence. I believe God made humans and God made aliens. I fear when the Bible speaks of the great deception it means the alien dilemma
