1 | Could Jesus like Adam have sinned? | Phil 2:7 | wdc | 4996 | ||
Does this mean that Jesus could have sinned? If He was like Adam before the fall, then He must have had the capacity to sin if He had chosen to. In John, we read these verses. (John 5:19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (John 6:38) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. (John 5:30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. In these verse's, and many others, it sounds like Jesus is walking by and being lead by the Spirit just like we are, only He obeyed everytime. Some say it was not possible for Him to sin, I tend to believe that He could have, just like Adam. The Bible even likens Jesus to Adam: (1 Cor 15:45) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. What do you think, could He have sinned or not? later...wdc |

3 | Could Jesus like Adam have sinned? | Phil 2:7 | CDBJ | 173841 | ||
Greetings koscheiman; Let me see if I am reading you right, when you say the following? Your statement says; “Yes Jesus could have sinned the Scriptures read, Heb 4:15 "For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." How do you arrive, from this verse that Jesus was actually able to sin? And if this is your thesis do you also believe that God can be temped to sin as well? CDBJ |

No God the Father cannot be tempted to sin, but we must remember that Jesus was 100 percent man as well as 100 percent God. If He was unable to sin then He was not tempted as man is. | ||||||
5 | Could Jesus like Adam have sinned? | Phil 2:7 | CDBJ | 173883 | ||
Greetings; You say that God the Father can’t be tempted; is that suggesting then that the first person of the Trinity is not able to be tempted but the other two members of the Trinity can be, since you singled out only God the Father? I would imagine that you are using the following verse as your hypothesis but there isn’t any specific mention of any of the personalities of the Godhead? James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Let’s not forget what follows that verse, if that’s the one you are using? James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Where does that place Jesus in “your opinion” with the lust angle with relationship to temptation? CDBJ |

There are three ways we are tempted and Jesus was tempted in these same ways, yet without sin, while in the flesh. While in His precarnate and postcarnate existence He as well as all of those of the Trinity cannot be tempted. | ||||||
