The Legal Status of Jesus: Why He Could Die for Mankind

His Conception: 
Jesus was conceived the same way Adam was: that is why He was His called the second Adam. The over-shadowing by the Holy Ghost is the same as breathing "into the nostrils," and the man became a living soul - self aware, existing, living (Genesis 1: 26 and Luke 1: 28 -35 ).

Adam was born without the process of natural sexual activity - by the breath [Holy Spirit] of God into Clay which became as living soul; likewise Jesus was born by "the over-shadowing" of the Holy Spirit of an ovum [Clay] in Mary -" For dust... and to dust you shall return (Genesis 3: 19)

Divine Calling and Capacities:
Jesus came in the same divine capacity Adam came and had. What Adam could not do; Jesus did by the same reason of temptation ( The Eden trial and Satan's Trial of Jesus after His 40 day fast are both same testings in every way and every capacity. Both progenitors were tested for fame, lust and pride- self worship and want of worship. See the accounts in Genesis 3: 1 - 7 and  Luke 4: 1- 13)
I Can say that both Jesus and Adam carried the same genetic and spiritual code in capacity: they were both the creator's master stroke creations. They were both son's of God and born by His Spirit and were begotten of God's eternal will without either individual taking a decision to be who God made them to be. They were given the right to name and re-order creation. God had breathed into both Adam and Jesus, This mystery is plain but yet misunderstood.

This is the sole reason God could empty Himself in Jesus and still have the legal status to enter into the earth [ man's realm], retake its ownership and give it back to us through Jesus' ministry as the Christ was that God had secretly shared His genetic code with Adam. The devil was blind to this; and many of us are also blind to this. Read Genesis 1: 26 again. See it? Hidden in plain sight!
"These" individuals ( and with all due respect to my savior Jesus) carried capacities to "produce their own kind."
Jesus died and rose and today we have Christians; whereas Adam failed but God in His mercies preserved His capacity through the process of biological pro-creation that produces his kind - Humans. By this reason, humans also inherited his fall [sin].
Jesus on the other hand, the second Adam, through the process of His death and resurrection brought about the re-creation of our a twisted mind caused by sin when we took in Adam the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. The re-newal of our mind is salvation
(Romans 12: 2 and Romans 8: 1-3 ), and whoever accepts Jesus also inherits His Glory - Salvation
( Romans 5: 10 - 21 ) just as we inherited Adam's glory (effect of sin).

Now, had Adam succeeded in defeating the serpent's beguilement, then he would have a raised up a Holy Nation, a peculiar people through his blood blood line (1 Peter 2: 19). He failed, and to save enter creation God had to come through Jesus to raise this Holy Nation through His own blood line.
Jesus and Adam were made to carry same spiritual capacities. They both proceeded forth from God and God said by himself - " I am not ashamed to be called their brother and to associate with mankind."
Had Jesus had a totally different genetic code from Adam, then it would have been totally illegal for Jesus to die for His brethren and in His brother's place - Adam (Romans 8: 32 -37). His death and sufferings would not have been allowed.

The New and the Old:
The spirit of Adam is the law and the prophets whereas, the Spirit of Jesus is love [Salvation - the fulfillment of the punishment of the law was made complete when Jesus died and paid by His blood for us all].
Jesus lives forever it follows by natural spiritual laws then that all who accepts Him will in essence live forever His Spirit just as Adam brought death, likewise, Jesus brought eternal life by salvation.

In Paul's letter to the Corinthian Church, he made it clear in I Corinthians 15: 45 - 47 - " And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Cor 15:46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Cor 15:47  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

Studying these verses further reveal that both Jesus and Adam were "made" for God's own purpose. However the last Adam [Jesus] was God Himself as Adam and Jesus carried both divine essence within them. Many times, Jesus would call Himself the "Son of Man." Why would God call Himself a son of a mortal man! He was indeed the son of a mortal man through His genetic code He shared with Adam but He had pre-existed before Adam but in His mission as savior of mankind, He was in essence a son of man, limited and frail and could feel mankind's woes now being a partaker of his fall. He[God] could only partake because He had the legal right to do through His genetic code through Adam. Had He [God] created Adam like other creatures, man would have been doomed because the legal right to enter into the earth to take man's place for full recompense of judgement as dictated by God's will would not have been possible.

Spirit beings cannot enter the earth realm; it is forbidden! That was why the spirits that disobeyed God and went into the daughters or men are chained in everlasting chains (Genesis 6: 1 - 4). It was an illegality. Likewise, Satan cannot operate directly in the earth. He uses agents like witches, reprobate people etc who are demonized or oppressed to do his bidding. God Himself cannot operate directly in earth even as the status as the eternal creator. He has given the ownership of the earth to Adam, but Adam lost it and God had to re-take it back through Jesus to give it back to us through Him. That was the essence of the fight against sin by God. To take back what belonged to Man and to restore the universe to its natural order under the authority of man but now through Jesus.

In closing, Jesus said this to Mary after He had resurrected: John 20: 11 -17  "John 20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. "
This statement settles all doubts that Jesus by saying "my God and your God" is indicative of a family relationship. Man was made different from Angels and every other creature. The major dividing line is that mankind carries God's own genetic code ( Psalm 8 : 1-9) which made us all His children indeed (Hebrews 1: 1 - 14).
