When God created us?

Question

Did He create us to be the same as Jesus?
Adam and Eve were created spiritually alive and are the Children of God just as Jesus.
Jesus is the son of God but so was Adam and is Jesus the only son of God because Adam became spiritually separated therefore killing the rest of us leaving only Jesus whose Life remained?
Adam was tempted and sinned but Jesus also was tempted but did not sin.
Is Jesus in reality our Brother who came here to save us because He's the only one who had a life to give while the rest of us were dead?
When we go to heaven are we going to be as acceptable to God as Jesus?
Are we the same sons and daughters of God as Jesus?

Answer 1

Wow! So many questions; so little time.
He did in one sense only - if man had not sinned by dosobeying God he could have lived in the presence of God forever. But whereas man was tempted to sin and did sin, Jesus was also tempted as a man and did not sin, thus fulfilling the Law. But Adam (meaning from the earth) was created by God (matter + information (DNA) + form) whereas Jesus always was - co-eternal with God (John 1)

Jesus is not the only son of God (see below) but He is the only Begotten son of God.

GENESIS 6 (120 years prior to the flood)
Genesis 6

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

and
1 John 3

1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

He is much more than a brother. He is a friend.

John 15
8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Yes, when you go to Heaven you will be IN Christ so judged in His righteousness.

No we are not. We are not inherently immortal or sinless whereas He is. We are not "of the substance of the Father" we are not co-creator with God as was Jesus

Colossians 1:
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Answer 2

There is one tremendous difference between Jesus the son of God and mankind the sons and Daughters of God. Jesus is God incarnate Adam and eve were not. Jesus is part of the holy trinity. It being God the father (God), God the son (Jesus ), and God the holy spirit or ghost. Note they are all God yet are individuals in their own right. No other man who has ever lived can claim that. In other words Jesus was not created by God because he was always part of God. Confusing I know but it's part of being a Christian to know this and believe it with all that you are.

Answer 3

Had to really think how best to answer this one.

Jesus was the first of God's creations and used him to make everything else. When it is said in Genesis, "Let us make man in our image.", that is the "they". So we have the same qualities as Jesus and had relative perfection for humans.

Jesus took the place of our father, Adam, so we could have a way out from under Adam's sin.

While we are different types of creatures, we are all loved by our Father, Jehovah.

Answer 4

We are His sons and daughters by adoption, NOT by right.

We are Christ's foster brothers and sisters, NOT blood kin. We may be blood kin to Jesus, however. Remember, Jesus is True God AND True Man. We can be related to His humanity via biology, without being related to His divinity (we AIN'T divine!).

We are beloved. We are supposed to be like kids everywhere and grow up to be adults. What exactly that means is as yet mostly unknown, but it has a lot to do with emulating Jesus. But even trying gets you a ticket Home and there will be great rejoicing at your presence.

Answer 5

Adam and Eve, like everything else created by God, were created perfect. But Adam and Eve sinned and thus death and disease and sin entered the world.
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. The only way for any of us to become a child of God is through the Spirit of adoption -the Holy Spirit. And the only way to receive the Holy Spirit is to repent and be born again.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God". Jn. 1:13
If you have not repented and been born again then you are still under condemnation and still at enmity with God. You are not yet a child of God, but a child of Satan.

Answer 6

you are half correct. Jesus did die for us because we were hopeless sinners and if we continued the way we were going we would all go to hell. Jesus paid the price for our sins. No we are not equal sons and daughters comapred to Jesus in front of God. Jesus is like God. worthy of our praise.

Answer 7

Entire books have been written on these questions!

First and foremost, it is essential to understand that Jesus *is* God: "I and the Father are one", "Before Abraham was, I Am." He is the second person of the Trinity, consisting of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In his physical incarnation, He became the only begotten Son of God in the same terms as we are physically begotten of our parents. But Jesus is and always has been God. The Trinity, three persons in one entity, is a difficult concept to understand, but you can think of it this way: I am someone's son, but I'm also a father, and I'm a brother as well; yet I am one person. That's an imperfect comparison, but it's about as close as I think we can get.

God did not create us to be the same as Jesus, as that would mean making us equal to Himself, literally a part of Himself. Rather, He made us in His image, like a reflection of his moral character, mentality and personality. Adam is referred to as "the son of God" in Luke's gospel, but this is in the essence that God gave him life, that he had no physical father. In that way, Jesus and Adam are alike: neither had a physical father. But this does not mean that they were equal. Adam was not God. Jesus was and is.

It was important that Jesus not have a physical father because that is how the sin nature is passed along in humans, through the father. In order to be a sacrifice for our sins, Jesus had to be sinless, a lamb without blemish (just as lambs offered for sin offerings in the Old Testament had to be free of blemish). As both God and Man, Jesus was able to take our sins upon Himself and offer up a perfect sacrifice, the only payment that would be acceptable in the sight of God, the only way humanity could be redeemed. Thus, God literally became Man and took our sins upon Himself.

We have two choices when it comes to our sins: we can pay for them ourselves (bringing eternal judgment upon us because we can never be good enough), or we can accept Christ's sacrifice. For those who accept Him, He makes "intercession" for us with God the Father, thus making us acceptable in the sight of God. There is no way we can earn salvation. Christ paid the price for us.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." - John 1:12.

So, in a way, yes, you can say that Jesus is our brother, as he became man in his incarnation; but no, we are not equal to Him. For those that receive Him as savior, He stands in our stead with God, effectively saying to the Father: "Do not lay his/her sins to their charge. I've already paid the price myself."

Answer 8

When God created us?
There is no evidence to support the existence of any god, and there is no evidence to support the idea that we were created.

Did he create us to be the same as Jesus?
There is no evidence to support that we were created by any god or that same god created Jesus.

Adam and Eve...
There is no evidence to support the notion that Adam and Eve were created spiritually alive or dead.

Son of god...
There is no evidence to support the notion that Jesus or Adam were sons of any god.

Sin,...
There is no evidence to support the notion that there is such thing as sin.

Jesus as brother, savior...
There is no evidence that Jesus is my brother. There is no evidence that we are in danger or in need of saving. There is plenty of evidence that I am not dead.

Heaven...
There is no evidence to support the existence of heaven, or any criteria for acceptance to such a place.

Sons and daughter of god...
There is no evidence to support the notion that we are progeny of any god.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

as long as we truly ask Jesus to wash us of all our sins with his blood and try not to continue sinning then God will see us as sinless like he sees his son. but after we die we are going to have to answer to Jesus at the judgment seat of Christ. there we will have to answer for all our sins and we will receive our rewards for good service to God. but after that we will be right with God.
