I’ve read where Adam was God’s first born and that Moses was God’s first son. Then there is Jesus. I’ve always only considered Jesus to be God’s “first” son. I know this is such an elementary question…but it has bugged me.

Jesus is God’s only begotten son. Son of God adopted by man (Joseph). In being born from above in Baptism, we become God’s adopted sons and daughters. Sons of men adopted by God.

There is no other only begotten son. Jesus has no beginning and no end, he is eternally begotten. So, yes, I guess if we think on the human terms of God’s creation of time, Jesus was “first” since he existed before the formation of the Earth, so technically, he came before Adam.

Does that help?
 
Yes, this helps…thanks for your (name removed by moderator)ut.
 
Hello DVIN CKS,

Jesus is God’s first spiritually born Son.

NAB PSA 2:4He who is throned in heaven laughs; the LORD derides them; Then in anger he speaks to them; he terrifies them in his wrath: “I myself have set up my king on Zion, my holy mountain. I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: The LORD said to me, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall rule them with an iron rod: you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.’” NAB ACT 13:32

“We ourselves announce to you the good news that what God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, in raising up Jesus, according to what is written in the second psalm, You are my son; this day I have begotten you.” **NAB JOH 3:3 **

Jesus gave him this answer: “I solemnly assure you, no one can see the reign of God unless he is begotten from above.” “How can a man be born again once he is old?” retorted Nicodemus. “Can he return to his mother’s womb and be born over again?” Jesus replied: “I solemnly assure you, no one can enter into God’s kingdom without being begotten of water and Spirit.NAB 1PE 3:18He was put to death insofar as fleshly existence goes, but was given life in the realm of the spirit.NAB HEB 1:5 Messianic Enthronement.

To which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son; today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be his father, and he shall be my son”? And again, when he leads his first-born into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.” NAB REV 1:4 Greetings.

To the seven churches in the province of Asia: John wishes you grace and peace – from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before the throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead and ruler of the kings of earth.NAB PSA 89:27

“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father, my God, the Rock, my savior.’ And I will make him the first-born, highest of the kings of the earth.” NAB COL 1:15 Fullness and Reconciliation.

He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominations, principalities, or powers; all were created through him, and for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church; he who is the beginning, the** first-born of the dead**, so that primacy may be his in everything.

Peace in Christ,

While a complex subject the simplest direct answer would be Adam was created not begotten; Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father and Moses was born of man and woman just like any other human being. He experienced certain mystical gifts from God during his life, but a man just the same.
