You aren't taking into account who Jesus' Father is.


He was just like Adam was before Adam sinned.

But Adam is never called the son of man. Jesus is the son of man because He was not like Adam before he sinned. Jesus was one of us.

Yes. Since women do not have seed, that is an allusion to the virgin birth. Look through the Bible. There are only two verses where women are said to have seed. One is Genesis 3:15, the other is Rev 12:17, where "the woman" refers to Israel.

Biblically, it is very clear that the seed comes from the male.

He came through Mary's womb. That's how he became flesh. Adam came from the dust. Jesus probably even looked like Mary. Although he was human in every way, he didn't sin. So he took that to the cross.

Mary was his literal, actual mother.

God the Father is his literal, actual Father.

We don't know what he looked like, but he could have at least partly resembled his mother.

Although he was human in every way, he didn't sin. So he took that to the cross.

Right!

Adam was human in every way before he sinned, and he did not gain a sin nature until he sinned.

Luke 3
The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

I already have shown many times here that the Scriptures say Jesus was like us in every way. The Scriptures never say Jesus was like Adam before he sinned.

It was Adam's responsibility to rule over the serpent but he didn't:

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Genesis 1:27‭-‬28 NIV

Adam was like us in every way, yet (temporarily) without sin. Jesus was like us in every way, yet without sin.

Respectfully, you have not managed to convince anyone despite all your effort. Perhaps it's time to let this dead horse alone?

The serpent was Satan. Did God create the serpent Satan? Or did Satan overcome God's created serpent?

As I have already shown here many times, "without sin" in those old literal equivalent translations means He never sinned not that He didn't share in our mortal sin nature:

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
Hebrews 4:15 NIV

Do you understand that by insisting that Jesus was not divine you are blaspheming the holy spirit?
Perhaps abandoning Biblioidolatry so as to be devoted to Christ would heal that rift?

But the virgin birth was different. Jesus had to have flesh, and he had to have that same nature that Adam and all of mankind have in order to show us how to live by the spirit and not by our souls. That's why we have to be born again. And he had to come through David's linage. That's why he chose Mary. He probably looked like Mary. If he didn't have everything in him that we have it would have been a waste of time, and he would have died for nothing. So he had to be just like us in every way, and yet still be God.
