Cerrity - you just need to read the bible to know these answers.
Give 10 Christians all a bible...then ask them all the same question.

Do you believe you will get 10 answers that will all be the same?

It's a word game attributing various qualities to the term "descended". It's not productive, because it leads to labyrinthine conjecture. Language has this nature, because in different connotation many words can seem the same but have very different implication. The questions proposed are sound, but not stated precisely, perhaps intentionally. You might get better answers exchanging "created" for "descended".

Will you come to the conclusion "because God created Satan" and "God created mankind", then Satan is somehow the "brother of mankind"? No. No more than a "wall I manifest on a house" is the brother of a "wall I manifest on a school". These constructs are not my descendants.

The obvious discrepancy from the original post here is "Did Jesus descend from God?". Yes, in a way, but no in a way. The "value" of the term "descended" does not apply as a "logical" derivative. It's simply an improper notation, it is "bad math". The answer lies somewhere in "the nature of God", which to us is indefinable, or "empty set".
Say what?

This is absurd.

All I did was ask a very simple question.

To which none answered correctly.

Jesus the Christ is a direct decedent of God.

So you have the true answer but a few posts earlier you are insinuating that you won't get the same answer so how do you know you are right and others are wrong?

I do not know what you are talking about.

Are you not too old to be playing these games?

yeah right.

my dear Jack, don't you realize how transparent you are by now?

I know that nothing is hidden from God. I realize that is to my advantage.

And I am very grateful for it.

No. Jesus is God. The nature of this, while we say it in a sentence, is not, nor is it meant to be, fully quantifiable. You need to accept we can't wrap our minds around God, God's nature and God's intent.

Alright I will rephrase what I said to fit your belief.

I know that nothing is hidden from the Father of Jesus Christ. I realize that is to my advantage.

And I am very grateful for it.

​Adam and Eve is not a decedent of God.

Adam was from the ground and Eve was from Adam.
