Bible Note: Dear Mark, I agree with you on the vocabulary thing! It do be hard some times :o) Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you a bit on this point so let me know. What I was speaking to was the quote of Hodge. He states "Temptation implies the possibility of sin". At least that was the way it was quoted :o) The quoted statement was made to validate the argument of Hodge that Christ could have sinned. My argument was to show the shortcoming in his logic. It had nothing at all to do with the question if Christ was tempted or not so I fail to see the relevance of my point to Hebrews 2:18. No doubt at all Jesus experienced temptation and to the full extent! After all the tempter went away empty handed. The problem with his statement is that the argument requires something of the tempted based on the fact the tempter tempted (How's that for vocabulary? If you can't think of something to say just keep using the same word :-). By Faith, Steve |
