Creating a "test tube" Son of God seems to me to be too arrogant of humans.

#1 - clones and identical twins are not the same people.

#2 - nothing persuades me that mankind WOULD create a character like Jesus even if mankind COULD do so. Not when all things concerning Jesus are considered.

Yes, people selectively champion this or that aspect of Christ.
Taken all together we do not like someone so absolute for nothing but the will of God.

Rwingett likes Jesus as long as He sounds like a Socialist.
Rjhinds likes Jesus as long as He sounds like a Conservative.
Most Jews would like Jesus if He would get the imperialists off of Israel.
I like Jesus as long as He sounds like a great Bible teacher.

(You thought I was going to leave that one out. Didn't you?)

Okay. Seriously. We human beings, from beginning to end are plagued with one common problem - We simply are for ourselves and not for God.

Jesus is absolute for the will of His Father. And if any of us believe in the Son of God is has to be because God had mercy upon us to do so.

You are not for God. You are for your own skin.
Me too.

So I don't believe in any possible cloned or "test tube" Lord Jesus Christ.
Better come to the One that God sent to us. Better ask God's mercy that we could believe in Someone so wonderful and absolute for TRUTH.
