Subject: Is there any scripture regarding whether |
Bible Note: Greetings NewPilgrim! The question was, "Is there any scripture regarding whether Jesus could sin?" You have offered much opinion but no scripture. This is dangerous when our opinion contradicts scripture. Keep in mind we don't want to mislead anyone. You said "It was entirely possible for Jesus to have sinned, elsewise the overcoming of temptation would be nonsense and his sacrifice would be an eternal joke, being little more than a token gesture." This is a bold statement. Is it wise to teach others so boldly with our own opinions with out being able to back it up with scripture? Are you talking about Jesus overcoming temptation or us? Either way, can you provide scripture proof of your teaching? You said "For Jesus to be fit to judge, the scripture teaches us, he lived as a man, with the temptations of man." Actually, scripture teaches us that Jesus is fit to judge us because God the Father has given Him this right! John 5:22-23 22 For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. You said "If Jesus didnt have the potential to sin then temptation would not be temptation at all." Please, give us one scripture that teaches such a thing! James 1:13-15 (NASB95) 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Can you show me in the scriptures above where it says anything about Jesus must have the potential to sin before we are tempted. Does it not teach we are tempted when we give into our "OWN" lust. Can you show any scripture that teaches such a teaching. In Christ, Steve |
