Why did God need to deliver his son through a woman?

Question

Why not just grab some mud and make Jesus???

Wasn't Adam as much as human as Jesus was?

Answer 1

Laziness

Answer 2

A fathers bloodline is separate from the mother's. That's God. But, He still was born of woman and if you look up Mary's lineage, you'll see that Jesus is related to King David. In other words, a Royal bloodline. Important fact to meet the requirement yet another prophecy.

If he was made from "mud", what difference would it make in the scheme of things since many don't believe it anyway.

Answer 3

Um.. because men don't give birth?

Let me say something, though. God doesn't NEED anything. God could have made Jesus out of mud, out of mist, out of whatever. God can do anything, but it doesn't mean He does things the way we fancy them. God can make pigs fly, but He doesn't.

Jesus was a man, pure and simple. Jesus was not the son of God, God is not a human that He begets, nor was He begotten, nor does He need to beget, nor does He need ANYTHING.

Jesus was a man sent by God so that we can be called back to God. Jesus was a man, so he had to be born SOMEHOW, right?

Answer 4

I suppose that God could've delivered Him through a cow or a donkey, but that would'nt have established His humanity nearly as much as God was shooting for. If you read the Word, you'll find that Christ is referred to as the "second Adam" so in that sense Christ shared with us what is common to all of humanity- having been formed out of the dust of the ground after the hand of God's creation power of the first Adam.

Answer 5

Because He created women to bear children.

No Adam was just a man. Jesus was 100% human and 100% God not half and half....

Answer 6

He didn't need to but wanted to do things as humans do as Jesus was to be fully human as well as God. And yes, Adam was just as human.

Answer 7

God created Jesus, through Mary, to live among us and inspire us through His lifelong ministry. He chose Mary, a young virgin, to conceive and thereby demonstrate His power and love for us. It was this love for us that He created Jesus in order to bring us peace and a love for others. He could have easily created an indestructible man to keep us from straying, but Jesus was a man amongst us who showed humility and love for others. This was the lesson God wanted us to learn, so He sent His begotten Son in order to teach and lead us.

He was given power to perform miracles from God, the Father. We should have all been convinced from these miracles and the writings that explain them. Unfrotunately, some people need more than a Bible and passages handed down fro eyewitnesses to convince them of God's power, might and love for us.

Answer 8

Jesus had to be born like a normal human being, he had to be fully human and had to come in this world without any trace of sin. Thus, he was conceived without sin and was born without the original sin. And he came through a woman because women were the first ones to sin (they ate the apple first) so they had to be the first ones to be redeemed

Answer 9

Jesus was both Fully God and fully man... God demonstrated that he could have understanding of the needs and temptations of man by becoming a man... fully... and that included birth and growth through childhood and adolescence with all of the temptations that in-tales.... when he hit his thumb with the hammer it hurt him just as it hurts you... when he saw a sweet young thing walking down the street he had the lust of a teen boy just as any teen boy... etc...

Answer 10

He needed Jesus to have some unique inherited abilities. From a mortal mother, the ability to die, from an immortal father the ability to choose not to die.

It's all about the set-up for the atonement to actually work.
