Does one become GOD by virtue of being born without a father

This argument cannot be accepted by intellectuals. We also do agree that Jesus was born fatherless. The Christians by giving emphasis to the word " fatherless" are elevating Jesus to the status of God. But why don't they give importance to the word ' born' at all?

What dies  the word born exactly denote? It denotes that  a man who was not existing till then has come into existence. Is it appropriate to say that God ' was not existing till then?. Can one who was not existing for a period become 'God' ? If God was not in existence even for a short period what would have happened to this world ?.

The phrase " born fatherless" itself denoted that Jesus was not god but a man. This quite clear. In this phrase if the word ' fatherless' is given due emphasis, the fact Jesus was not a god could easily be inferred by the Christians themselves. The word ' fatherless' indicates that he was not born 'motherless'. Further the Bible clearly states that he was born to a mother.

• What are actually the attributes of God?
• Can He have a mother and only not a father?
• Are the Christians ready to proclaim that the Lord, the only God has a mother ?

One cannot become a god just because he is fatherless.

The bible itself agrees with this fact

" the son of Enos , the son Seth, the son Adam the son of God" (Luke 3:38)

If Jesus is god by virtue of having been born fatherless what about Adam who was born not only without a father and a mother but also without ever having been in the womb? Does he not fit to be a god? Why don't the Christians believe Adam to be a god or 'son of the God'?

Logically, Adam has every right to become a god, rather a better one than Jesus. Even then Christians have not taken his as a god. Does this not appear to be a very conspicuous contradiction?

" And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept; and  he took one of his ribs and close d up the flesh in the place.

Then the rib while the Lord God had taken from  man e made into a woman, and he brought her to the man" (Genesis 2:21- 22 )

" Or haw can one be pure who is born of a woman. (Job 25:4)

This verse says that Jesus who is born of a woman is not pure. But Adam and Eve are not having such a defeat or disqualification. Adam and Eve are the only one who are free from this impurity  which is common to all other human beings. Therefore they are the ones who deserve more to be gods than Jesus. 

Do the Christian conscience not bothered? Are the Christians not behaving against the teaching of the Bible?

From what  the Bible says about Melchizedek it is quite evident that he is more deserving to become a god. 

" For this Melchizedek , King of Salem, priest of the most high God who met Abraham returning from the Slaughter of the kings and blessed him" (Hebrew 7:1)

 Who is this Melchizedek who is so exalted as to bless Abraham? What is his genealogy? the Bible says

" Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like the son of God remains a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave tenth of the spoils" (Hebrews 7:3-4)

This Melchizedek was fatherless, motherless, and without a genealogy , and he had neither a beginning nor an end. And he was great, the Bible proclaims. He is not believed as a god by the Christians who have taken Jesus as God just because he was fatherless. Why is it so?

If anybody who is referred to  in the Bible is to be believed as God- if is allowed by the God-Melchizedek, has got all the qualities. When compared to him Jesus actually seems not to have so much merits. In spite of this the Christians do not take him as the son of God even. Why is it so? Most of the Christians do not know his name even.

God cannot have a son; nobody can possess the unique qualities of God. God is God and man is man. so concludes the conscience. This is exactly the reason why the Christians refuses to believe Adam, Eve, and also Melchizedek as gods.

But in the case of Jesus, a blind reverence has been imbibed in them by the misleading teachings of the priests and therefore they do not want or rather refuse to think over the matter .

If at all the Christians have implicit faith in the Bible, they should in accordance with its teachings believe theses three persons as gods greater in status than Jesus or alternately they should believe that there cannot be any god other then the Lord. the God. Instead if the Christians discriminate between these three , then we have to necessarily conclude that  they have not faith in the Bible
