1 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | melchizedekau | 4710 | ||
No they are not, I am made sinless by the Grace and Blood of Jesus. But i am not Perfect. Perfection means maturity. The Flesh is imperfect,Jesus had to deal with the flesh,thus temptation.Jesus died without God and seperated from that love. Death in the Greek means seperated from God. that is why when Jesus raised that little girl from the dead,He said that she wasnt dead but sleeping | ||||||
2 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | Reformer Joe | 4744 | ||
So you are saying that Jesus (i.e. God the Son) was not "mature"? To say that "taking on a nature of material flesh means that he had evil to overcome in his own self" has a name. It is Gnosticism. Jesus was tempted EXTERNALLY (for example, Matthew 4). He did not have to combat urges in his own human nature, since he was not under Adam's curse. He was tempted externally for the purpose of demonstrating perfect obedience to the Father so that he would be an acceptable propitiation for OUR sins. --Joe! |

3 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | melchizedekau | 4806 | ||
Thankyou for your imput i will endeavour to explain a bit more in depth.As Jesus walked the earth His body wasnt perfect. Luke 13:32 Jesus own words said that He would be perfected after the Three days. that is after the Holy Spirit had raised Him from the dead. Jesus also said about satan, John 14:30 he has nothing in me .which means he was sinnless, according to james 1:14 you are only tempted when you are drawn away by you OWN desires.Heb 4:15 states Jesus was tempted in all points as we are.So if He was tempted, He must have had His own desires But surrendered them.1 john 2:16 these are the areas Jesus was tempted in ,but He submitted to God and resisted satan and satan fled.James 4:7 humility cures worldliness,submitt,resist,and we overcome and become sinless. Yet not totally perfect as our body is dying. Because Jesus made the Road so that we can jump on His Road train.Amen.YIC. | ||||||
4 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | Reformer Joe | 4820 | ||
I contend that James' epistle is describing succumbing to temptation, not only being tempted by some external source. Remember that Jesus taught us to pray "Lead us not into temptation." It would make no sense that we should pray "Lead us not into being carried away by own own lusts," since God is not the encourager of sinful behavior, as James said in his letter. Therefore, James must have something different in mind, and the context seems to indicate that he is talking about giving into sinfulness which already exists within us, which Jesus did not have, of course. It is always important to remember that while Jesus took on the form of a servant (i.e. took on a human nature), he did not stop BEING God. While he was exposed to every external avenue to sin as we are (and more so, I would contend), it is impossible for God to sin. During his earthly ministry, although he looked like us, morally he was infinitely different from us. Remember that he said that even sinful thoughts carry the weight of actually committing the offense. Therefore, if there was even a shadow, a flicker of immorality even in his thinking, he did not reflect the unchangeable character of our perfect God. Since all Christians acknowledge that he indeed is God the Son, he was completely unable to be swayed even in the briefest of moments from complete obedience in thought, word, and deed to the Father. Thanks to that, we can receive a righteousness not our own -- His. Praise be to God! --Joe! |

Dear joe i can see where you are comming from. the deal is that if you place Jesus up so as to be unreachable in mans eyes and yours. that the condemnation of falling short and sinning your conscience says, thats OK your only Human. My conscience is clear I will Follow what the Lord has wrought for me and I have overcome satan by The Blood of Jesus and my Testsimony says My Jesus became Sin for us so that we could be free.You shall know the Truth and the truth shall set you Free.bless you.YIC | ||||||

Mel: It is really not a question of where I "place Jesus." It is a matter of where the Bible says He is. Very God of very God. Far be it from me or anyone else to try and "redefine" God the Son in a way that would make Him more comfortable for my sinful nature to live with! We cannot reach God. In light of our total depravity and God's infinite holiness, we in our pre-Christian state don't even WANT to. God had to reach down to us. --Joe! |

yes Joe in Gods eyes, all He sees is Jesus when He looks at you.By faith we claim that miracle. The miracle of salvation when we accept Jesus to be Lord of our Lives.Faith calls those things that be not, as though they were. YIC. | ||||||
