1 | Did Jesus Need to Become Perfect? | Heb 2:10 | Searcher56 | 11242 | ||
Since Jesus was the Son of God, how could he become perfect through experiences on earth? Was there some imperfection in him that had to be worked out through ordeal? Steve |

2 | Did Jesus Need to Become Perfect? | Heb 2:10 | Kat | 11314 | ||
Just asking? Where did you get the ideal that Jesus wasn't perfect? Jesus came for one reason and that was to pay the human race sin debt. He was God in human form. There is nothing that living on earth can do to make any of us perfect, if that was so, we wouldn't have needed Jesus to die for our sins. He came from perfection to a world of sin, lived, taught, and died sinless. Can we accomplish that by ourselves? No! If he was "imperfect" then His death meant nothing to God. Kat |

3 | Did Jesus Need to Become Perfect? | Heb 2:10 | Searcher56 | 11430 | ||
Kat, Nolan did well answering. My point was that we need to be careful reading the Word. It says "to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings." We know that the passage is talking about Christ. But, one could misunderstand that He needed to be perfected. Steve |

4 | Did Jesus Need to Become Perfect? | Heb 2:10 | Kat | 11541 | ||
I do agree that we need to be careful about how we interpret the Word. In the Hebrew 2:10 that is posted, I understand it to mean; The concept of a suffering Messiah was a real stumbling block to the Jews. The problem must be tackled by declaring that the sufferings of the Cross were an integral part of God's redemptive plan. In fact, Christ was made perfect through the suffering of death. Not that His deity lacks perfection but His humanity was vocationally perfected. That is, as Man, Jesus was enabled through suffering to become the captain of man's salvation; suffering allows Him to experientially empathize with us (v.18), and death was the means of His destroying Satan (v. 14) and securing our redemption (9:12). It is so easy to read a scripture and take it to mean something other than what it is really talking about. I am not saying that this is what you did, I am agreeing that one really has to focus on the Word very carefully. Didn't mean to suggest anything other than just adding my opinion. Kat |
