Why wasn't Jesus the first man?

[Viraljimmy]

Simple question. If Jesus had been the first man, instead of Adam, would not everything have worked out the way god supposedly desired?

Why didn't god just make Jesus the first man?

I can't see how the christians can squirm around on this one.

because the lord works in mysterious ways, duh

Since when has God been any good at logical planning?

because the fictional god the christians created in there book is a fucken idiot!

If jesus was sent to save man because man was going in a downward spiral, then god's creation is imperfect according to god's own standards. You could say man is given free will, so imperfections were caused by man. If this is true, then god cannot be all of the above: omnipotent, omniscient and perfect.

According to logic, christians should throw out atleast one of god's supposed characteristics.

Basically what Kiko said. That's what I'm getting at.

jesus is god... holy trinity. but why stop there the bible started after many generations of telephone. moses wrote the first 5 books of the bible. how many people were alive before him and how did he get all this info. the answer....the "burning bush" lost in translation a pile of pot lit on fire.

It's the omnicient part that gets to me. But how can god not be, if he's friggin god? I dont see how some christians dont believe in predestination.
