Reply #1: as God had yet to master asexual reproduction.

Raul, the oldest, was sadly born without soul, and simply wasn't popular enough with the angels to get the job as savior. Bill, the second oldest, disappeared one day when he fell off a cloud chasing a leaf. Never too bright that one. Helen, the third, and God's only daughter, seemed the most promising, didn't have the necessary disposition, as she took off one day on the back of the angel Lucifer's motorcycle, which by the way is the source of the friction between the two lasting to this very day. It wasn't until Jesus was born that God had a child with both the genes, the brain, and the meek personality suited to the job of savior.
