1 | What was reason for the virgin birth? | Matt 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 185004 | ||
Dear Mark, I agree with you on the vocabulary thing! It do be hard some times :o) Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you a bit on this point so let me know. What I was speaking to was the quote of Hodge. He states "Temptation implies the possibility of sin". At least that was the way it was quoted :o) The quoted statement was made to validate the argument of Hodge that Christ could have sinned. My argument was to show the shortcoming in his logic. It had nothing at all to do with the question if Christ was tempted or not so I fail to see the relevance of my point to Hebrews 2:18. No doubt at all Jesus experienced temptation and to the full extent! After all the tempter went away empty handed. The problem with his statement is that the argument requires something of the tempted based on the fact the tempter tempted (How's that for vocabulary? If you can't think of something to say just keep using the same word :-). By Faith, Steve |

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 |
