If you look at Genesis, there are two creation stories, Chap.1 provides us with the man made in God's image and then Chap. 2 provides us with Adam and Eve. Jesus was created from God and his mother Mary who accepted and "conceived" Jesus perfectly, not physically, but in spirit, and he was manifested physically, to accomplish his role in time and space. Which is the perfect and spirit part of all of us, that is the "made in God's image" part. We all have the ability to "override" the "sinful" part which is the Adam and Eve issue, which is the whole Cain and Abel thing, then you see the sinful part and the repercussions of sin, we see it everyday in the world. I have to say I do not practice any particular religion, I don't think any particular one has the answer, I love God and anything that speaks and represents Universal Truth, which is God's truth and no one can change that, no matter what religion is practiced here on the earth. I think we have glimpses into the whole thing that is God, but there is no way we have words for, or any knowledge of what is really going on.

Adam and Eve were beamed on to this earth like an episode of Star Trek.. POOF!! God knows the past present and future and knew ahead of time that the humans he created would screw up.. but created them anyway for some kind of sick entertainment? BTW.. why do pictures of adam and eve have belly buttons? They never had umbilical cords cut off to scar like that! Jesus was created from an egg and sperm just like the rest of us. DNA testing would have shown who the father was.. If David copperfield was living back in those days his magic would have put jesus to shame.. Therefore Jesus was a sinner by deceiving people.. and hanging out with a known prostitute. Ignorant uneducated humans believe that fairy tales are real.. Find proof other than what is written or spoken by humans (Did you know that people lie to make stories more interesting? But for power and big money there is no limit on what men will do! ) Brainwashing and extortion is illegal in everything but Religion..where it is encouraged.

Jesus is God incarnate, born without sin. And Adam and Eve were not made first. Before them, Jesus, the second person of the blessed Trinity always existed.

That is the point of the virgin birth. Sin, and ultimately death, came to all through Adam (just as atonement and life come through Christ). Since the fall of Adam, we are all born with a sinful human nature:
Romans 5:12
"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men."
Jesus was born without the stain of original sin...what was conceived in Mary's womb was created of God, not man. He lived the perfect life that we cannot. Yet He paid the price that our sins deserved. In that regard Jesus is both a model for us to follow, and He is also the Savior from sin.

Adam and Eve were God's creations who were given free will. They sinned, and caused the fall of man.
Jesus was around at the time of Creation.
He was the Son of God. A perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Jesus Christ never sinned because He was the perfect sacrifice. His father was no a man for it is through the man that sin came. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Because Jesus is the Son of God. And, Jesus is God the Father, therefore he was holy, unlike Adam & Eve.

Jesus never sinned, although He could have done it. Jesus never sinned because He had the nature of God in Him and this didn't let Him sinn. Adam & Eve had free will and they choose to make the sinn, Jesus had free will too but He choose not too sinn becouse He had to die for us, and He had to be without a sinn.

Jesus had the same choice to be obedient to God or not, same as Adam and Eve. HE chose to obey. Who knows what may have become of mankind if he had made different choices!
