1 | Adam and Christ? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 29384 | ||
Dear prayon, In Hebrews 10:5, it says: "...sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body thou hast prepared for me:" Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God who God the Father prepared a body for. He inhabited a body, apart from the first creation, for this body was without original sin. So, He is legitimately a second Adam...really a man, but God...subject to temptation, but able to choose against sin and in fact never did sin. He did not have the burden of the original sin nature, but had the choice to fall just as Adam had...yet did not. I hope this is of some help to you. Itiswritten |

Question and Comment................. Would you explain a bit more of what you mean by "He inhabited a body, apart from the first creation, for this body was without original sin"? Also, Jesus could not sin, and therefore not have a choice to fall. He is God. Steve |

Dear Steve, I'm sorry concerning what I said about Christ's body. I worded that badly. What I meant was that because He inherited his body from His earthly mother only, and did not have an earthly father [though He pre-existed as the Son of God and was With God in the beginning and was also our Creator] in the sense of His flesh, He did not inherit Adam's sin nature which Adam passed down to everyone else born of man since his fall. However, in His flesh, He was as Adam was before the fall and had the free will to sin, though He chose not to. The reason I say this is because of what it says in Hebrews 4:15- "For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in ALL POINTS TEMPTED like as we are, yet without sin." One instance is in Matthew 4:1-11, where the devil tempts Him. Had it not been possible for Him to choose to sin, it would not have been a temptation. This is the basis of my reasoning. Itiswritten. |

Thank you................................ Thanks for clarifying. I maintain that Jesus Christ, being God in the flesh, could never have sinned. If He had the capacity to sin, He would have ceased to be God. The importance of the verse you mentioned is that He experienced what we do every day, and because He went through them, He is the perfect representative of man to God. We have assurance His intercessory work is accomplished. Steve |
