1 | Did Jesus experence real temptation? | Heb 4:15 | brazos | 164387 | ||
This is a serious question. The whole question is "Did Jesus experience temptation as humans experience it?" I really do not understand or even see how He could have come close to experencing temptation to the degree and depth in which we experence it. Jesus did not have a natural inclination to sin as we do. Jesus did not even have the ability to sin. We do. Jesus hates sin and can not tolorate it. We do not always hate sin and are usually attracted to it. Jesus never fell to temptation over and over again there by making the temptation more inticing and resistance to it weaker. I am a born again Christian who has repented of my sins and am trusting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for the redemption of my sins. I am a babe in Christ earnestly seeking answers to questions I have concerning His word and His character. Any help in understanding this would be gratefully accepted. I want to walk as closely with Jesus as I can. My intentions are not to offend anyone or to be irreverent. I just want to know Jesus and know about Jesus. Praise be to God, Brazos |

2 | Did Jesus experence real temptation? | Heb 4:15 | Commandment keeper | 164628 | ||
I do believe the Bible. It says he was tempted in all ways. I believe that. As far as him being able to sin, Yes, he was. Satan knew that when he tried to tempt him. If it was not possible to sin, Satan would not try to tempt him. he was truly human, and had the same feelings we do. But he fought them. If he were not able to sin, I don't think there would be any point in him dying for me. He suffered terribly, as any human would. He prayed for the cup to be lifted if possible. We should not just slough it off by thinking he was anything other than a man. A perfect man because of his own volition. He was truly able to sin as we all do, but fought sin all the way. By the way, John tells us what sin is. 1John 3:4 |
