Discovering Christianity

I find Christianity interesting. I keep discovering new things about the religion. For instance it says, Adam created from soil is inferior to Jesus created from Mary and the spirit of God. Adam was also morally inferior to Jesus. He was tempted by the devil and he failed miserably. On the other hand Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days and he passed with flying colors. A Christian wrote:

" Adam did not pass Satanic Test and sinned and thereby lost his initial status and was ordered out of the Garden of Eden. But Jesus passed all satanic tests which logically implies comparative superiority in him"

Adam created the Original Sin which is passed down the generation. There is no way one can get out of it because one is born with it. Christianity is the struggle to get rid of this sin. The only way to do it - to get salvation- is by giving your life to Jesus, the son of God. The hard part of it is that one can only reach God through the son.

Muslims believe that Adam was put to test because it was all of part of God's plan to make man a creature of free choice having the ability to choose between right and wrong, good and bad, obedience and disobedience. After taking the test Adam was able to see right from wrong. He realized it was wrong to go about naked. So he quickly covered himself up. Animals did not take the test that Adam took. That is why today they go about naked

Muslims believe that Jesus was not the only one who received the Spirit of God. Adam received it too. So is every body and that is why human beings are conscious of God. Adam is neither superior or inferior to Jesus. However, Adam should be given the credit for being the pioneer of free choice. Jesus is superior than all of us in the sense that he was sinless (Mak Sum) and so were all the prophets right down to Muhammad
