Sure would be nice if “God” would just say what he wanted us to know instead of all the cryptic bs.
With all the times the Bible was translated, revised, edited, and outright changed for whatever reason history’s rulers wanted, I put very little weight on anything the book says now.

unless it was necessary to differentiate from some other physical incarnation of God? I

I cannot recall Jesus being referred to as the "son of man" in the bible.

actually he used that term quite a bit when referring to himself...

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

I hate to be picky from a grammar standpoint...but, I simply AM, The word in your thread title should be IMPLIES, not infers. An inference is an action mentally drawn by the recipient of given information. The subject in this case (Jesus/God) being the son of Man IMPLIES your premise. The recipient of the implication is the person who infers—-in this case that would be the readers of your post. If my explanation is lousy, just Google when to use imply and infer correctly.
As to your post itself: from Greek, anthropos IS man. Words are the only way the description could be made by human writers. Jesus was present in human form on this earth. It surely does not preclude God from taking the FORM of whatever sentient being might be elsewhere or anywhere. However, it’s not requisite.
God creates, He was not created. Ancient philosophers long ago referred to God as the “uncreated Creator” and wrote of His infinite nature. No beginning, no ending—-hence no NEED for His creation. Physical manifestations on other worlds? Sure, if so desired. If you believe God is infinite in His nature, He has no constraints.
Thanks for your post. I enjoyed reading it.
