Why did God not create all people like Jesus?

[nebula]

Explain your train of thought please.

[JIME]

Well, He did according to Gen 1:26 (NASB)--Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Jesus is a part of the "US" in the scripture above. The "US" is the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Amen!

Why did God not create all people like Jesus?

[Revelation 5:1-5,vs.7-14]---And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. vs 2) And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? vs 3) And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. vs 4) And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

vs 5) And one of the elders, saith unto me, Weep not; behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof

vs 7) And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. vs 8) And when he had taken the book, the four beast and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having everyone of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. vs 9) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by the blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation; vs 10) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. vs 11) And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousand; vs 12) Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, honour, and glory, and blessings. vs 13) And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessings, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever and ever. vs 14)And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son.......

For their in none worthy in heaven or in earth or under the earth those whom have died before and after Christ's life before Christ was born of the virgin Mary.

Jesus was the only spotless Lamb in whom was found no guile in his mouth. Jesus lived his life on earth without any sins of his own. Our Heavenly Father had only one Son the only begotten Son whom was to be slain so we could come into the family of God through that one spotless Lamb who was worthy to be slain.

There was only one Saviour and if we were created all like Jesus we still would need a Savior or I believe so but I am glad just the way I am and I know I could never live the life of Jesus if I was just like him I could never endure the sufferings of the cross. I am glad for the one that was sent down from heaven.

I hope you understand my response to this thread as my ponderings got kind of deep.

Why did God not create all people like Jesus?

What would have been the point?

I don't understand the question? He created us in His image, but further than that He predestined and left us with free will, and I don't want to go down that road here

[~Shalhevet~]

Rephrase: Why could he not make us all perfect? God is perfect and we were created in His image so why are we not perfect? He had/has the power to do this. Is this perhaps a question that cannot be answered until the end of life? I guess it kind of falls into the questions of why are we here in the first place.

[Guest HIS girl]

Who's to say we weren't perfect before the Fall?

[~Shalhevet~]

Fall? Are you referring to Adam and Eve?
