Bible Note: Steve, very excellently put. While I very much appreciate Mark's post (as I always do) I do disagree with any who would argue that Christ was capable of sinning OR that the word of God does not make that perfectly clear. To believe that Christ had the potential to sin is to say absolutely that God has the potential to sin. This argument disagrees with everything I have come to understand about the nature of our Creator. I believe that's why it is important to distinguish between His being sent in the "likeness" as you pointed out. God bless, Jeff |
