Why wasn't Jesus the FIRST HUMAN if he was the most perfect?

There is a verse in the bible that says, at just the perfect time, and while we were yet sinners, God sent His son into the world.
As in all things, God's timing, although we may not understand it, is perfect.

1. When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4: 4-5
2. The law had to be given first. We had to know what was demanded of us by a holy God. It would be totally unfair any other way. Those who don't receive Christ - will be judged by the law. I got a pardon!
3. Adam was perfect......he chose to sin and doomed the rest of us. Jesus was the "second Adam" - and did not sin. Both men had God for a Father.
4. Why do we presume that God didn't do things as wisely as we would have? I do think it's a fair question, but I trust God that since He said it was the right timing - then it was.

God has sent many many great saints before and after Jesus. Jesus said "there have been many before me and will be many after me." God is the most merciful and the truth and path back to the eternal Kingdom has always been available. Krishna Says in the Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) "Whenever there is a decline in religious principles, and the truth appears to be lost, I appear again and again, or send My Representative to reestablish the Truth." So we can see the truth becomes lost by man who misconstrues the truth trough translations and speculation and putting his own idea. God then has to send another Great soul to deliver the Pure message and fallen souls. for the original New Testament before king Constantin added, omitted and misconstrued so many things google gospelofthenazirenes.com Following the Original teachings of Jesus will set you free.

when god first created man we were without sin. we were tested though, and failed that test, and we were given a consequence for that action. since god didnt want robots he gave us free will. jesus is not human, he is a god. in fact the son of god. was born without sin to a human, to also become the son of man, and to become the sacrament for our sins, as long as we believe and are baptized. as for why god waited so long, remember that time is different for god than man. as the joke in the movie "oh god" goes, when asked if a day was really like 1000 human years, god replied, "lets put it this way, when i got up this morning sigmond freud was still in medical school".

Jesus was a perfect human but his purpose was salvation. Read the Bible the complete history of why is written there.

It is a good question. If Jesus was without sin he could have kept humanity from eating the fruit.

You don't understand the concept of a messiah. A messiah is one sent to save mankind. There must first be a mankind and they must be in need of saving.

Everything happens in God's timing. It also happened the way He told us beforehand. : )
