1 | What was the point of the temptation ? | Matt 4:1 | Wild Olive Shoot | 193115 | ||
Dear Jesusman, By claiming "Could Jesus sin?". Could he? I say "Yes".", you are stating God can or could sin. Do you really believe that? An all knowing God knows what it is to be tempted and can empathize with us even though He Himself never has and will never sin. But He knows. If He doesn't than He is not all knowing. I hope this link helps: http://www.gotquestions.org/could-Jesus-have-sinned.html Stand in His grace, WOS |

2 | What was the point of the temptation ? | Matt 4:1 | Jesusman | 193118 | ||
But you are forgetting one small detail. Jesus, while on earth, was not in his full glory. Paul tells us in one of his epistles that Jesus limited himself, Phillipian 2:1-11. Let me ask you this. Can God die? He can .. and did .. on the cross. God should not be able to die, yet he did. Am I saying that Jesus was a sinner? Definitely no .. far from it. I am saying that in order for this to be a genuine temptation, there had to be a risk of giving in, even if it's a small miniscule chance. Jesus did not have the sinful nature that we have. Adam didn't have our sinful nature that we have. However, Adam sinned. He wasn't sinful born like us. He was created perfect and holy, yet fell to temptation. Jesus, like Adam, came into this world perfect and holy. He remained that way. Jesus succeeded and endured where Adam failed. Jesusman |
