1 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | Pastor Glenn | 71057 | ||
CDBJ, You are right. I meant to say that He had a body like ours. However, even after reading the scriptures that you mentioned, How did Christ avoid having the sin nature of the flesh? He was still the "seed of the woman" genetically in the flesh. Isn't the real key to this issue the fact that Christ walked continually after the spirit rather than the flesh? Even at 12 years old He said that He must be about His father's business. Wasn't He tempted in all points like us? Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. How is that possible if his flesh had no lust? Isn't the real difference that Christ kept His flesh under subjection to His spirit, even from birth to the crucifixion? Pastor Glenn |

2 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | Emmaus | 71092 | ||
Pastor Glenn, To have a human nature is not the same thing as having a fallen human nature. The Divine Son took on a sinless human nature, not a fallen human nature. Truly He was born of the seed of a woman, Gen 3:15, but not the seed of a man, rather by the power of the Holy Spirit. I will resist the temptation to get into the whole concept of the Immaculate Conception of Mary as it may apply here, having already run that guantlet before. :-) The corrupted or sinful human nature tends toward sin even without temptation, whereas even Adam and Eve in the sinless state of their human natures did not tend naturally toward sin, but were subject to temptation. It was giving into that temptation that corrupted their previously undefiled human nature. In the same manner Jesus was subject to temptation but did not give in to it. Emmaus |
