I have a question about Jesus. How come christians believe that he is the son of God, when Adam was born before him and he has no parents either?

jesus was just a messenger of God just like adam he came for the israelites and he never himself proclaimed to be divine or something its just a blasphemy that ppl like Paul and others started

I'm not christian - but I was previously an ordained minister. Jesus was the first thing God created but he wasn't known as Jesus at this point. He was the archangel Michael. Off the top of my head, I can think of Colosians 1:15 that says that he is the image of God - the first born of all creation. Later he was born to the virgin Mary as Jesus. Does this help?

Well, then how come everyone believes that Adam and Eve were the first humans created? Where did that come from then?

even then the creating in image doesnt mean the begotten son , so this is a blasphemy after all and the church is responsible for it

First of all we need to keep in mind that God can do anything. Jesus existed along with his father long before the Earth was created. Long before Adam and Eve existed. But it was decided that in order to save Earth from Lucifer's grip that Jesus would descend from heaven and be born of the human race so as to live and walk among us. And so it was. Adam and Eve were created by God. Not born.

Far from being created "All things were made by him" John 1:3. He voluntarily "became flesh" verse 14. Even the Father speaks of Him in tones of reverence, "Thy throne, O God is for ever and ever", Hebrews 1:8. Prophesying about Christ in Isiah 9:6 He is given titles that are the same as those for the Father "The Mighty God,The everlasting Father". Adam is also called "the son of God" because he had no earthly parents. Luke 3:38 If one chooses not to believe the Bible there is not much that can be done to convince. There are plenty of good reasons to believe the Bible if one takes time to observe them.

I know christians believe jesus is the son of god. But I'm not sure why either. I choose to not discuss religion with others because there are so many different views these days.

That's a pretty good point. I'm not sure why Adam is not seen as the son of God. That is just what we were always taught in Sunday school.
