1 | "desirable though wrong" and Jesus? | Heb 4:15 | RWC | 5244 | ||
I just wanted to follow up this posting with you here under the discussion on temptation. You defined temptation as being "exposed to that which you find desirable though wrong." James describes our temptation as being "dragged away and enticed by our own evil desire." But I do not think that this could be said for Jesus. He had no evil desires whatsoever. Now, I don't think that this is what you meant, but I thought I should just ask you to clarify what you think about how Jesus was tempted. | ||||||
2 | "desirable though wrong" and Jesus? | Heb 4:15 | Lionstrong | 5272 | ||
I agree. Poor wording. Jesus could not have an evil desire. In Jesus' case, his desires would have to be legitimate, like his desire for food after forty days of fasting. Temptation has to be defined to take in both illegitimate and legitimate desires. In Jesus' case Satan's temptation was for Jesus to fulfill his legitimate desires illegitimately. Thanks, RWC Your comments, observations, criticisms are welcomed. Lionstrong |
