Was Adam and Eve the only first created?

No, only my Lord had sinless blood, because the seed of His father was pure.

Interesting point of view here. Makes me wonder a few things, like...

1. Why is it assumed that if a person is born sinless, they don't need Jesus to redeem them? As if redemption has no connection at all to sins committed in life, but is ONLY about the condition at birth?

2. From 1 it leads me to ask "So why isn't everybody automatically saved?" If Jesus died to reverse the involuntary condition of our birth, then it should follow that all who are born are saved. Unless His atonement is severely limited in power. Or unless He just doesn't want to redeem most people.

3. Why the assumption that fixing our genetic defect requires a sacrifice of a non-genetically defected person? How does that even work?

4. Did Jesus' death cause a genetic change in human nature? Has anyone identified this biological change?

5. Why do Christians die? If sin is genetic, producing biological death, and if Jesus reversed that, then at least Christians would never experience biological death. But they do. So Jesus failed? Or, nobody has been saved?

6. If Jesus had sinless blood BECAUSE "the seed of his father was pure", is that Divine Flesh teaching? Sure sounds like it to me.

7. Jesus wasn't holy and sinless because He always did the will of His Father? Instead He was holy and sinless because He had the right genetics?

8. So then holiness and sin are all about genetics, and not at all about actions and choices?

9. So then salvation is not about pardon and forgiveness, but is rather a medical procedure involving fixing the DNA?

10. So then salvation is not about grace but race?
