Quote:Bismillah
I know that AFTER Adam, all humans HAD to bear original sin. Jesus was born AFTER Adam.
I'll repeat this with a change:
I just don't understand how we are to relate to Jesus and feel he is from us (humans) when he did not have to bear the burden that we all must bear (ie be born with it)?
Let me rephrase your statement. "I just don't understand how we are to relate to Jesus and feel his is from us (humans) because he is God and we aren't."
That is what you are saying.
What makes you think Christians "relate to Jesus" and that we hang our hope of salvation on the fact that he is "from us"? Jesus is the King I serve. He is the Lamb of God. Thankfully, he is really nothing like me although I strive to be like Him.
