Is there any scripture regarding whether Jesus could sin? Or, is it just common thought that He could not sin? | ||||||
2 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | ebrain | 178942 | ||
Jesus did not sin, but I do believe that it was possible for Him to do so. If He had done what the verse below says, then He would have sinned, but He did not do so. Mat 26:53 “Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? ebrain. |

3 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | NewPilgrim | 178943 | ||
It was entirely possible for Jesus to have sinned, elsewise the overcoming of temptation would be nonsense and his sacrifice would be an eternal joke, being little more than a token gesture. For Jesus to be fit to judge, the scripture teaches us, he lived as a man, with the temptations of man. If Jesus didnt have the potential to sin then temptation would not be temptation at all. Jesus however has never sinned and sin is not in him. The only time that Jesus and sin have been synonymous was on the cross when he was made sin for us that he might pay the penalty for our iniquities. And this, not because he sinned but because he was able to present himself spotless before God as a perfect sacrifice. |

Hi NewPilgrim, Where does Scripture teach us that Jesus would be unfit to judge us unless He had lived as a man? Is not God a righteous judge in and of Himself? Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark, I confess my language was rather poor. It is apparent to me that it would have been far more accurate for me to say "His overcoming of all temptation and rejection of all sin SHOWS him fit to Judge" He IS fit to judge and always has been, his perfect life as a man with a mans limitations during his 33 years among us is the evidence of it rather than the cause. I will respond at a later time with a more involved response :) | ||||||
