Did Jesus experience every kind of trial and temptation that we do? I seem to recall a Scripture verse that states or implies that, but am having trouble locating it. Thanks, --Cheryl |

43 | Can He sympathize with EVERY weakness? | Heb 4:15 | LuckyCharm | 68569 | ||
Thanks, Robert -- that's the one I was looking for! Something I've been wondering about, though... There are certain weaknesses and needs He couldn't know about, aren't there? What about the feeling of having misjudged somebody, or trying to make a decision? He was betrayed, but He was never blindsided by the betrayal. Or, was His human nature still capable of being surprised by someone? The Bible says several times that He "marveled" at people's unbelief, for example... Any thoughts or insights are welcome! --Cheryl |

44 | The suffering of Jesus | Heb 4:15 | LuckyCharm | 68701 | ||
Hi Robert, Thank you for your touching thoughts on the Passion of our Lord, that He carried with Him throughout His earthly sojourn. It reads almost like a meditation... Yes, He was betrayed in many ways, by many people who claimed to be His friends. I wonder if the foreknowledge of these betrayals made them harder or easier to bear... It's like when I hear of people losing a loved one after a long terminal illness -- I wonder if their grief is more or less deep than someone whose loss is sudden and unexpected. I wonder if it really matters all that much, though. As you point out, it is impossible for us to comprehend Jesus' sufferings -- He suffered on a level we cannot even fathom. Thank you for your sobering and profound reply. Peace, --Cheryl |

45 | Jesus according to Paul, vs. the Gospels | 1 John 1:1 | LuckyCharm | 42768 | ||
Jesus according to Paul, vs. the Gospels? The following question was posed to me elsewhere, and I was wondering whether anyone here has done any study or knows of any good sources on the subject: "My personal point of view is that the (later-written) Gospels present a version of Jesus that is developed along a certain line from the (earlier written) authentic letters of Paul. The authentic letters of Paul are consistent with a spiritual/non-historic Jesus who is the focus of a mystery religion. The Gnostics, who claim Paul's teaching as one of their primary sources, and for whom other non-canonical Gnostic gospel versions of Jesus exist, may have been the "true" christians and the canonical-gospel-following christians the heretics, but since the canonical-gospel-following christians got to write history, it was the Gnostics who were branded the heretics. Paul's letters could be interpreted to fit both (although I find them more consistent with the Gnostic view). All that said, I wouldn't recommend interpreting the writings of Paul based on the later-written and tangentially developed Gospels." Appreciate any input! --Cheryl |
