Assuming that there really is a God, that there is nothing at all that is beyond him,
God planted his seed in Mary, while keeping her a Virgin, so in the first instance, Jesus can be said to be the genetic offspring of god.
In the second instance, because Mary was a virgin, when Jesus was born, it was of a 'virgin birth'.
In the third instance, whilst Jesus was alive, he performed certain miracles.
And in the fourth instance, his death and ressurection.
Those, in my view, are the things that make Jesus special. However,
According to Christian teachings, God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are one, (the trinity), if that is the case, and on the cross, Jesus called out to his 'father', it would indicate that they are seperate entities. It'll take a good man to explain that to me so I could understand.
Hi - yes good question and yes Jesus was meant to be special because his mother Mary was a virgin when she got pregnant. Keeping in mind that to make a baby you need 46 genetics cells - there are 23 in a womans egg and the remaining 23 in the mans winning sperm, at least half the genetics of jesus came from mary but how God got the other 23 cells in there I just do not know? But i am presuming that by some pure miracle as an act of God, Mary's body produced an egg with a full 46 cells which means it would develop in the womb rather than be flushed out during menstruation like all the other months eggs still only being 23cells..
I dont know, but its a thought...
Jesus is very special in that he is the son of Almighty God. He was SENT to earth to give his perfect life in sacrifice for all our sins, the sins we inherited from Adam and Eve.[Matthew 26;54] Jesus DID have a pre-human existence in heaven alongside his heavenly Father. [Proverbs 8; 22 - 31..John 8;58 and 17;5 ]. And for further proof that Jesus WAS INDEED God's son, the account where he expelled the multiple demons from the man near the lake [ Matthew 8;29 & Luke 8;30]
Only Jesus has the privilege of having Almighty God as his direct Father.
