No, God doesn’t need us for companionship. He has all the community He needs within Himself, the Triune God.

And Fur Shur God has absolutely no interest in female human beings, right?

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us." Romans 5:8

"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:15,16

Does that answer your question?

There are relatives of Lincoln, Jefferson, etc. and they are right to be proud of that....but a blood relative of GOD.....give me a break, and Jesus was indeed God.

Well, actually, they have no reason to be proud of that since it was but an accident of history. And to argue that Jesus, God incarnate, could not have any brothers or sisters because someone could then claim to have been distantly related to Jesus is just question begging. It doesn't follow that because someone could claim a false distinction ("I'm something more special than you") based on a true relationship ("I'm descended from one of the brothers or sisters of Jesus") that the true relationship must, therefore, be an inherent impossibility. Someone may as well claim that since they were descended from Abraham that makes them something extra special to the point of having no need of Jesus. Both Paul and Jesus addressed that delusion quite thoroughly.

brfagging rights only....however, if Jesus was my great great great great great uncle, he’d be better that yours
