Could Jesus Christ have been an alien ?

Is it possible that another planet or groups of planets came up with the idea of sending down one of their people for an unknown but important purpose to earth ? This might explain the empty tomb and his ability to possibly “go up” to another place we call Heaven. If so, what motive would these aliens have had to do this and what was accomplished that would be considered positive? It might also explain his alleged ability to raise people from the dead. That is , if you believe aliens are capable of just about anything which is my belief.

Why would another species and culture bother? To what end?
(I think schizophrenia makes more sense. Think about it – hearing voices, delusion of grandeur…)
It is a possible theory, that is supported in numerous circles.
In the past people felt threatened by “different“people and killed them.(ancient).
They could have been Alien in nature.
Lots of these therories on TV.
And evidence in archeological digs too.
@syz
To what end?
To infiltrate human culture.
@syz
To populate there own possibily?
Who knows, maybe other planets are in distress?
@syz I don’t know why. Just like I don’t know why we can’t know why UFO’s are buzzing around our planet . Just because we can’t explain something doesn’t mean that something isn’t happening or that it’s nonsensical. They have their reasons for what they’re doing. We can only speculate.
The man Jesus preached a lot of charity, peace, and love. I can see where these ideas seem alien today.
Try NOT To worry about What others are doing or not doing.
Worry about what you are doing and how you can make this a better world.
Be happy that you are placed on this earth for a reason and try and find out
what that reason or purpose is, in order for you to feel connected and fullfilled.
Perhaps you are feeling unfillfilled?
Good Luck.
Sure.
Still more likely than him being of divine origin. But still less likely than him being a normal bloke. And even less likely than him never existing at all.
@Inspired_2write: From your link; ” the idea that ancient astronauts actually existed is not taken seriously by most academics, and has received little or no credible attention in peer reviewed studies.Ancient astronauts have been widely used as a plot device in science fiction. ”
(their as possessive, I implore you.)

If true, it would explain a lot.
But there is no empirical way to prove it one way or another, and even if there were empirical proof, the christfilic establishment would not accept it as fact. So the answer, if ever found, would make no difference at all.
As far as I can tell, there is no reason to consider it as a valid hypothesis.
If there is no way to disprove something, even in theory, then there is no reason to believe that it is true. Either that, or we begin to question the idea of proof itself, without which everything becomes meaningless.
Ancient aliens @aster? Anything is possible I think.
How do you account for Jesus looking human? Do you think the aliens used genetic engineering to create someone who was internally like them but who looked human? How about this? Jesus could have been abducted as an infant and trained by the aliens? Maybe they altered his brain. This all gets very silly really fast.
This idea was first put forward in the late 1960’s (yes I’m that old) by a Swiss writer called Eric Von Daneken who wrote a number a books (including Chariots of the Gods and Was God an Astronaut?) on the subject. He claimed that the Bible was full of descriptions of space craft (God Chariots), including the “cloud” that Jesus was taken up in and the New Jerusalem described in Revelation was a giant spaceship. But why would they bother? Unless of course they wanted to create a “New World Order” around the cult of Jesus in order to enslave us. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
@LostinParadise an ancient document was found last month where men were discussing how to alert the Pharisees which one was Jesus. I know it sounds nuts but google it. One said , “he keeps changing shape so how can we be sure he can be identified?” @basstrom188 my ex read , “Chariots of the Gods” but I’ve never read it. The Bible does make reference many times to chariots of fire and other alleged references to flying discs. It seems ridiculous to me that UFO’s have been flying around only in our lifetimes but not beforehand. George Washington wrote of seeing one on his ship, for starters.
Or, we could be naive and say with a smile , “we’re the only humans in the entire universe.”
Who precisely has proof that UFO’s are flying around now?
On what ship did Washington, the commander of the army and not the navy, see a UFO?
I do not believe that any advanced alien civilization has contacted Earth in any way.
That could explain the “rising from the dead” part too.
But a reference to the glowing craft may clarify Washington’s later references to green-skinned Indians, or “Greenskins,” as the commander sometimes called them.
“Until now, historians have assumed Washington was referring to a tribe that used green war paint,” says Burde, who specializes in researching points in history where he believes space aliens have intervened in human events.
Now Burde believes the Greenskins were space aliens who supplied Washington with wise advice, information about British troop movements and tactics, and perhaps even some superior technology that helped him win the war.
Whoever they were, Washington very much looked forward to his rare meetings with the Greenskins, who lived in a glowing globe in the woods.
“The usual interpretation is that the glowing globe was a rounded lodge made of animal skins that glowed from the firelight inside,” says Burde.
But Burde’s discovery of references to a “hovering” and “disappearing” globe leads him to believe the glowing lodge was really a spacecraft.
“It also is strange that sometimes the globe is behind Washington’s headquarters and sometimes it’s not,” notes Burde. “An Indian lodge is either there or it’s not. This thing came and went, which is entirely consistent with a spacecraft that pays occasional visits.”
Skeptics abound, @PhiNotPi and each of us has to sort through and decide for himself what is truth and what is fiction. That is reasonable but what I do not find reasonable is the self centered, narrow minded opinion that “we are alone in the universe regardless of its vastness. ” Which recalls to mind people laughing at the Wright Brothers, “talking pictures” , Alexander Graham Bell and it goes on from there.
I did not say that we are alone. I firmly believe that other intelligent lifeforms exist. I just don’t believe that we have been contacted.
Given the scale of the universe, the universe can be both teeming with life and completely empty at the same time.

The estimated size of the universe is 93000000000 light-years.
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 0.00001591 light years.
@PhiNotPi: Your debunker.com link reminded me that my first job out of college, with a BA in astronomy, was with Dr. J. Allen Hynek. In addition to doing research on binary stars, he was paid by the USAF to investigate UFO sightings.
Periodically he and I would venture out from Cambridge to places like the Berkshires in western MA. to look at blurry polaroid snaps of fuzzy floating objects. He never found anything convincing and was paid a nice salary for this. I was 21 and a happy person in the job of his assistant. Plotting orbits of visual binaries was OK but hanging around the UFO crowd was really fun.
“Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact yet and buzz them… They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one’s ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennas on their head and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really.” – Ford Prefect
I think there are lots of alien super-beings among us.
They are supposed to remain low-key, at least while they infiltrate.
Jesus tripped up and got too much attention for himself.
There is so little reliable, empirical information about any individuals who live so long ago for us to make any meaningful conclusions about them. At best we have stories passed down over many generations of people. Some stories referred to some extraordinary feats or features about certain individuals whose lives and deaths were of central importance to evolving religious beliefs. Jesus, Abraham, and Mohammed were examples of such people.
We have far too little information to conclude that any of them were other than valuable teachers, preachers or leaders. People are free to believe whatever they want about such individuals but most of those beliefs are based on faith rather than fact.
NO, you are conflating two quite differnt sets of bad fiction. Jesus Christ never existed, and ETs cannot come here. Nobel Prize winning physicist Edward Purcell proved that “Interstellar Travel Is Preposterous”. Only such amateur frauds as Eric van Daniken and the others on ‘Ancient Aliens” tell such absurd lies.
