Yes, we might be. However many don't. That is more the argument I think.
Look, even without the OP analogy, we end up with the same argument.

Well, we are His children and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so to speak.

Right. And if we ascribe credibility to the Christian notion Jesus Deity, we have this possibility.
What is bemusing to me would be an argument from a atheistic or non-Abrahamic perspective saying that one idea is more 'valid' than another in the context of a Holy Book they don't believe in the first place.
That would be like arguing imaginary apples and oranges...doesn't matter, if they're imaginary.

That has always been my take on it as well.

ING - That is what it says in the Hebrew.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he them; male and female created he them.
"God" in these verses is "Elohiym."

Christianity believing Jesus is the Mashiach - does not make it so.
Obviously the Jews say he has not fulfilled the prophecies.

It doesn't matter what Judaism has to say about Christianity.
I don't know why you seem to think Judaism has some 'say' in Christian belief, it doesn't.

Jehovah our God is One
the bible gives the name of the Creator as Yahweh/Jehovah, not Jesus.

LOL! The "Moshesh," that Christianity claims Jesus is, - is the Jewish Moshesh.
You folks saying they have no say is ridiculous.
They are saying Christians have misread/mistranslated their texts, AND - that Jesus does not fulfill the Moshesh prophecies.
That is obviously a legitimate observation.

Yep! And nowhere does Jesus say he is God.
He is claiming to be the awaited Moshesh/Messiah, whom is not God.

I already explained this, we aren't even using the same texts. Just go look it up. And no, Jahshuah isn't just the Jewish Messiah in Christianity, at least you should know that.

I clearly explained to you already, Judaism and Christianity have different Prophets.

The awaited Jewish Mashiach is what Jesus is claiming to be.
If you divorce that from the OT, what gives Jesus any legitimacy as the Mashiach /Messiah?
They then can not use any Jewish text in an attempt to prove him such!

Huh? Why the two names. Do you know which one is the right name, or is this like a janus character?

I don't know where you are getting that from?
Christianity does not teach that.

No, I didn't even know what your letter formula meant. I mean, it's letters. are we supposed to know what some random letters represent in that equation? lol

NOPE! They teach he is the awaited Jewish Mashiach /Messiah.
Joh 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Joh 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Joh 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
Joh 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
