This thread was meant to be a next logical question after determining the belief that: Jesus is God and Man, and was believed upon by Christians from the time the events were recorded by the apostles all the way throuhgh to AD 325. At that time hundreds of Pastors from a wide geographic area from all corners of the Roman empire voted on Arius the heretic. His Unitarian ideas were rejected UNANIMOUSLY with two votes abstaining.
That thread is HERE. Now that we know who believers thought Jesus was, the question on this thread is simply, why did he do it? Why did God create us in the first place?

interestingly, the answer to the question why we were created is, at the same time, also a demonstration that Jesus is distinct from and subordinate to God - because it is Jesus’s purpose in life, alongside the rest of creation, to worship God.
Your statement assumes a materialistic view for the nature of man. This philosophical superimposition on scripture is unnecessary, unbiblical, and ignores the accepted definitions of words common at the time the NT in Israel at the time.
Using biblical definitions, it is clear how Jesus can be subordinate to God, and God at the same time. This was discussed at length on the other thread dealing with the question of "Who". This thread is about Why. Why did he create us?
