Christians, does it not seem possible that God created Jesus the same way He created Adam?
Salaam/Peace to all :)
To fellow Christians, I am just wondering since a Christian recently told me that the main reason Christians believe Jesus (pbuh) to be the son of God is because he had a mother and no father, therefore making God is his "father". First of all do you agree with this reason?
I'm also curious about this as a Muslim. In the Quran Allah attributes the creation of Jesus (pbuh) to that of Adam (pbuh), in that He said "Be!" and he was. So since you also believe God miraculously created Adam without a mother nor a father, couldnt He have also created Jesus without a father? So why is Jesus the "son of God" and Adam is not?
Thanks for sharing~
@Lucky me - If we are all children of God (non-physically), why is Jesus given such a status as the Son of God whereas other religiously known people are not? That's something I just don't understand.

In the Bible, Jesus is said to be the son of God but in none of the first four gospels. Adam, Israel and David are also referred to as the sons of God in the Bible. Also, all Christians are said to be the sons of God. This is a metaphor and it doesn't mean that he is the son of God physically, because God isn't human and has no human characteristics. Jesus was born as Adam, it's a miracle.
God had to prove that He is capable. He created Adam without a mother or father; He created Eve only from a man; He created Jesus only from a woman; And the rest of human beings are created from both man and woman. That's God's word to humanity: That He is capable and Jesus was the last pillar to prove that.

Yes, many Christians believe exactly that - that Jesus was a creation just as Adam was a creation. Adam was called the Son of God. God created Eve with a rib from Adam. She came from his side. God did just the opposite with Jesus. Jesus came from the woman's side (Mary) ...for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

Mohammad said in the Quran that "God has no Son", yet Mohammad said that Jesus was a prophet. Jesus said He was the Son of God. So Mohammad is mistaken on two accounts. If Jesus was not the Son of God, He couldn't be a prophet because He would be a liar.
Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit without a man to the virgin Mary. He was born into this world like any other baby, though Mary had never had sex. It's called the "virgin birth". God didn't just zap Jesus into being for many reasons, but one right off is that the Messiah had to be born from the House of David - a bloodline, to fulfill prophecy.

Yes, it is possible.
I;m not sure the Bible is even clear on this.
In Phillipians St Paul quotes a passage about jesus which basically says he is divine and the essence of god, but later in the same passage talks of God and Jesus as seprate entities. The concept of the trinity attempts to explain this but I'm not sure the bible ever explicitly explains the trinity (other than mentioning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit)

That is a question I have never even thought of myself. To be frank it's probably because Adam was not designated to be God's "son" within the religion its also another a hole projected by the religion and by the book.

Peace to you too.
I would quote many Bible verses that say "Jesus is the son of God" even God calling Jesus as his son, and Jesus too calling God his father, but you don't believe in the Bible.
Col 1:8 says Jesus created the world. i.e. he is a creator!

'Christianity' is heathenism. Scripture teaches that the Creator (YHVH) entered Miriam to be born the Savior YAHUSHUA. If He were not Almighty, He could not be my Savior.

Adam is called "a" son of God....and so are others....but Jesus is the ONLY one that is called God's "begotten" son....
Why begotten? Because God DID speak and the human egg began to grow inside of Marry....and the egg grew just as any other "human" egg would grow....
Idiots who try to make the conception of Christ into a human style sexual encounter between God and Mary...are just that...idiots...
There is But ONE GOD: yet all parts of him are alive because God IS LIFE...and when GOD said "LET IT BE SO"; his LIVING WORD...entered into Mary's egg and the power and will of God (Holy Spirit) caused that egg to become fertilized and begin to Grow...THUS BEGOTTEN NOT CREATED...
In case you are wondering I AM A CHRISTIAN "A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST".
ONE GOD...ONE CHRIST(FAITH)...ONE SPIRIT

My little brain washed friend...Adam is the first evolution of the man from an Animal to a Man with brain...Jesus is the second evolution from this normal man to a 12 Chromosomes/genius man...
Jesus never came to earth...he is not a human, he is a period of time.
