Dear Friend, there is no greater attribute in how God chooses to create, except only in our own limited human logic. There is reason and purpose to every creation of God. This is explained in the Bible but I don't see the same detail in the Qur'an, I think that is why it's easy for you to think something like Adam and Eve having no human parents is somehow a greater attribute than having one human parent. Throughout History only three people were not born in the usual way... of two human parents.. Unless you know of others that I do not know of. But as the three in question are Adam, Eve and Yeshua let's look closer.
1. Adam Was Created Out of the Dust of the Ground, Had No Human Parents and Was Fully Grown From the Beginning:
When God created Adam (as the Qur’an also says) he…
“… formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” ~Genesis 2:7
God breathed life into the dust, and giving life to it, forming Adam out of the dust of the ground. So when God created Adam he had no human parents. Nor did he grow up in the normal way, but was a fully grown man from the moment he was created.
2. Eve Was Created Out of Adam and Was Fully Grown From the Beginning:
When he created Eve, he…
“… took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman’ for she was taken out of man” ~ Genesis 2:21-23.
Is this how God is shown to create Eve in the Qur'an or is it different?
Instead of creating Eve out of the dust like Adam, God made Eve out of Adam. Like Adam, she did not grow up, but was immediately a fully grown woman. Adam realized the intimate relationship he had with Eve when he said that she was “
bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” ..
Eve was already in Adam and was taken out of him.. GOD’S PURPOSE IN CREATING EVE THIS WAY WAS TO MAKE ADAM AND EVE ONE FLESH, OUT OF WHICH ALL HUMAN BEINGS WOULD BE BORN. Since Adam and Eve were one flesh, all human life from that time on has come
out of them. It is as if all humanity is one lump called "Adam," and slowly generation by generation we are all being born out of that lump. We are all bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. We were in Adam and Eve when they sinned and when they were put out of the garden. Today we are bearing the negative results of our original parents’ sin ...NOT THEIR ACTUAL SIN .. But in a way just like children today carry the genetic strengths and weaknesses of their parents, we have their sinful nature. Proof of this there is not one human on earth (except for Yeshua) that is without sin.
3. Yeshua Was Born Out of Mary Without a Human Father, and Grew up Normally:
Before Yeshua was born the angel told Mary she would have a son, and she replied -
“
How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.” ~ Luke 1:34-35
Yeshua the Messiah was not born out of the dust of the ground like Adam, nor was he created fully grown like Adam and Eve. He was born from a human mother after nine months of pregnancy and grew up in the normal way, but he had no human father.
SO WHAT WAS GOD’S PURPOSE IN THIS KIND OF BIRTH? The Bible tells us -
A. God caused Yeshua to be
born of a woman in order to be human like us ‑ born
OUT OF ADAM.
Through Mary, Yeshua is the son of Adam, fully a human being just like we are. Because he was born this way he is
bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. The Scripture says he “
shared in (our) humanity.” Yeshua is part of that lump of humanity just like we are. The Scripture says he
became flesh. He became one of us! GOD’S PURPOSE IN YESHUA BEING BORN OF MARY WAS FOR HIM TO BE FULLY HUMAN:
Yet we see -
“Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.” ~ Hebrews 2:11 Why so?
“
He had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” ~ Hebrews 2:17-18
B. At the same time God caused him to be born without a human father because he came OUT FROM GOD IN HEAVEN – the eternal Word of God made flesh ... as we see in John 1
“The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:47
“... the one who came from heaven .... The one who comes from above ...” ~John 3:13-31
“... He who comes down from heaven.” ~ John 6:33
“... For I have come down from heaven.” ~John 6:38
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” ~John 6:51
“... I am from above ... for I came from God.” ~John 8:23-42
In other words, being born of a human mother was needed for him to be one of us ...
the Son of Adam. Being born without a human father was needed to show He came out from God ...
the Son of God. In his parentage we see both his complete humanity and his full deity. Why? So He could be the perfect sinless substitute for us sinners, and overcome the power of sin and death to give us eternal life. I said before our difference in regards to theology comes down to the concept of Sin.
Yes, I agree that the title "Messiah" was given to others certainly in the Bible, it means "Anointed One" One who is chosen for leadership or service to God or priesthood or Kingship. However, throughout the Old Testament there are found a great many Messianic prophecies that promise THE Messiah, Of God who will deliver the people. We believe Yeshua fulfilled these prophecies sent by God through His hundreds of Biblical Prophets, indeed the Qur'an confirms Yeshua as the Messiah does it not? The Jews chose not to believe Yeshua fulfilled the prophecies and so reject Him as their Messiah, so they are still waiting.
Again, you are failing to see that the message, Gospel, Good news is not the "man" but is the WORD of God. Yeshua is the Living Gospel. I am not saying these things to attempt people to believe as I do, that would be wrong. Because all people are called to God in different ways. For me I have no powers
I tell you such because I wish to try and make muslims see that Christians do follow What God revealed to them through Yeshua. The "Christianity" you believe we follow, the version you get from I don't know... Either Qur'an, Hadith or the deliberations of scholars does not exist outside of Islam. You castigate us for something we do not believe, and you unjustly refer to us as polytheists which is untrue and grossly insulting, but I know this insult is not meant and indeed is most times said without thought.
