1 | What was reason for the virgin birth? | Matt 4:1 | stjohn | 185023 | ||
Hello Tim; Well Tim, I think that is an excellent question! And one that I was afraid to ask, as being new to the forum. And please forgive me for stepping in. I did not want any to think that I would seek to divide, and this I think, rightfully, should be a difficult question for any Christian to ask. It may seem to question Our Lords deity, and although human His obviously elevated status as such. But do you think perhaps being tempted to cheat, steal, lie, ect...Would not focus on what might be an even more potent temptation, For Him? For instance, knowing full well that he could turn rocks into bread wile being so very hungry, it seems for us perhaps would not look much like a sin. But then; maybe there would be something in the pride of showing that old snake a thing or two, as well as feeding HIs hunger? And: for Him stepping outside the explicit will of the Father; sense they had such an intimate fellowship? And in the Garden of sorrows? Its impossible, I think, for us to Imagine. Don't you think? Being abel to call legions of angels to do His bidding? And yet He allowed Himself to be led like a sheep! It seems to me that the internal temptation would Be in toughs things. but as I've said "it is difficult for any human mind to mobilize axioms on this subject." God bless stj |

2 | What was reason for the virgin birth? | Matt 4:1 | Morant61 | 185035 | ||
Greetings STJ! Most on this forum are capable of carrying on discussions concerning difficult questions. :-) The only 'problem' with your question is that it requires a high degree of speculation. We know from Scripture that Jesus was tempted, but that He did not sin. However, there are two very different understandings of temptation. Those who believe that Jesus could not have sinned would argue that He did not have to be able to sin in order to be tempted, while those who believe that He could have sinned would argue that He must have been able to have sinned in order for the temptation to be real. Unfortunately, Scripture doesn't definitely answer the question. :-) Personally, I think both sides make some excellent points! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim I would think a more cognitive process then speculation could be employed. The truth is sometimes hard to find. But a great treasure when found! God bless stj |
