Mate. I already told you I dont wish to get into a faith discussion here.
I apologise to have said "I agree" which I didnt think would lead to further faith discussions. So I shall respectfully withdraw.
Apologies.
I suppose the genealogy of Jesus which traces his first father as Adam is wrong according to the JW here.
Jesus is son of man but not son of Adam? okie dokie
Are you laughing because Jesus' genealogy is wrong?Lol. Mate. Can you tell me what the Hebrew phrase for "Son of Man" is? Which one is Jesus calling himself?

When you tell me that Adam is not the first father of Jesus. And therefore Jesus' genealogy is wrong.Can you tell me what the Hebrew phrase for "Son of Man" is? Which one is Jesus calling himself?

Is Jesus a son of Abraham? of course he is.Whats the Hebrew phrase for "Son of Man" is? Which one is Jesus calling himself?
I am sure you understand the question. Both times you spoke of a genealogy which is an irrelevant answer. Which means either you dont understand a simple English sentence, or you are intentionally creating a caricature that is not relevant to me to create a strawman.

Where did Abraham come from?
Did Abraham have a father?

Yes, Jesus is related to Adam according to genealogical records as found at Luke 3:38.The question is: How can Jesus be a son of Adam and have a different nature then all the rest?
There are basically two ideas.
The first is that Jesus had the same nature as Adam and that Adam's nature was different before he sinned.
The second is the idea of immaculate conception.
Both are false according to Scripture.
The first idea reject that Jesus was a son of Adam. Because all sons of Adam have the "fallen" nature.
The second idea makes Mary to have been of another nature so that she could give birth to someone of her same nature.
That means that Mary's mother had to have a different nature so she could give birth to Mary. And that means that Mary's grandmother had to have a different nature to give birth to Mary's mother...and so on down the line.
Since you refuse to tell us the relevance of your question as it relates to the topic I don't know what's your point.So, since you are incapable of answering a question honestly mate, there is no way I am gonna discuss a toffee or a book with you.
Ciao.
if you can't see the logical flaws in your claims that's not my problem.Yes, Jesus is related to Adam according to genealogical records as found at Luke 3:38.
In Scripture, both Adam and Jesus had God as their Father.
Earthly Adam was created sinless, Heavenly pre-human Jesus was created sinless - Revelation 3:14 B.
God (the Father of pre-human heavenly Jesus) He sent Jesus to Earth for us from Heaven.
Thus, God transferred the heavenly sinless life of pre-human Jesus to Mary.
Jesus has human perfection (without inherited adamic sin) because God was his Father. (First in heaven, then transferred life to earth )
Since you refuse to tell us the relevance of your question as it relates to the topic I don't know what's your point.
The topic is simply whether or not Jesus' genealogy traces back to Adam. That's it!
If Jesus came after Adam then Jesus is of the same nature as all others who came after Adam.
The JW here refuses to accept that truth.
When you tell me that Adam is not the first father of Jesus. And therefore Jesus' genealogy is wrong.
There are so many assumptions that you are making regarding Jesus’ genealogy....
The list in Luke ch 3 begins with....
“When Jesus began his work, he was about 30 years old, being the son, as the opinion was,
of Joseph,
son of Heʹli......
<Rest of the list>
And finishes by saying....
....“son of Eʹnosh,
son of Seth,
son of Adam,
son of God.”
Apparently you have overlooked one important factor.
Each one is presented as the “son of” the previously stated “father”.
No other humans are called a “son of God” except Adam and Jesus who are both creations of the same Father.....Jehovah God himself, by means of his Holy Spirit.
Calling Adam a “son of God” is alluding to his creation, as a direct production of God. He was not born of a woman, like Jesus was because Jesus needed his lineage to form part of his credentials as Messiah. He was the adopted “son of Joseph”, recognised by all as his legal father and proof that he was born in the correct tribe and family.
Jesus is NOT a “son of Adam”, otherwise his death is meaningless as a “redeemer”. Equivalency under the Law meant that an equivalent life had to be offered to pay the debt that Adam left for his children. Adam paid for his own sin with his own life. Jesus came as a sinless perfect human in order to redeem all who descended from those sinful parents.
The sacrifice of his life paid for our release. Redemption laws are set.....only the full price, paid off the debt.....a perfect sinless life was required and Jesus came from heaven to provide it.
If he was a son of Adam, then he could not have redeemed anyone.
You're saying that Jesus did not come from Adam? Didn't everyone come from Adam?
Being a son of Abraham and David sure sounds as if he came from Adam unless Abraham and David didn't come from Adam either.
So where did those THINGS come from. I call them THINGS because we don't know what they could be if they didn't come from Adam and therefore have Adam as their first father.
A son is a man.The JW's claim that Jesus was not a son of Adam.
Here's the quote from another thread:
"Jesus was "the son of God"...NOT the son of Adam. Had he been a son of Adam, then he would not have been sinless. The ransom required the payment of an equivalent life....no son of Adam could offer the needed payment....a perfect life for a perfect life." --Jehovah Witness
What do you think?
I'd like to keep this debate within the context of the Scriptures
