Bible Note: Greetings Brother! You said "If He said He could do this, which He did in fact say, but it was impossible for Him to do so, then you are calling Him a lier, and as I have said in my post to "NewPilgrim" on this topic, (which post I suggest you read), "my Jesus is not a lier"." Let's please be careful with our accusations. Accusing me of calling our Lord a liar is unacceptable. I'll leave it at that and let you address your own motivation for such an accusation against a brother. If my original post instigated such anger in you I apologize and ask you to forgive me. That was not my intent! You ask "What is the point of His saying this, if as you maintain He was incapable of doing it?, it just does not make sense." I humbly admit I probably don't make good sense most of the time. Let me try and explain. Matthew 26:51-54 (NASB95) 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said* to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. 53 "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?" I don't for a second think I can speak for Jesus but in MY OPINION and with confidence I might add, the point of him saying this was not to prove he could sin which you teach! Based on the scriptures, I would say his point is clear in the above passage paying close attention to verse 54. Is he not teaching that what was taking place and would take place was the will of God. Notice in verse 54 it says, "it must happen this way". Is it possible to find conflict in the triune God? Let's look back at exactly what I said. My version not yours :-) I said "I think we can agree that He had the ability to call on the Father, but how does this prove He could have been disobedient to the Father?" You pointed to the scripture as evidence that Jesus could sin. In my opinion this is a worldly view placing Christ on the same level as man, completely over looking the fact He is God and well teaching that God himself could sin. You attribute the nature of mankind (sinful) to Jesus. To this again I ask, How can it be? As the son of God I believe he could do anything but sin! It goes against the nature of God to sin so how is it possible that He could have sinned? If the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, how is it possible that any of the three persons in the triune God could sin? You ask "Please tell me what Coll 2:9 has to do with this? "in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily", so what, how does this relate to what Jesus said at Matthew 26:53?." It was a reminder to you who this Jesus was who you attributed the ability to sin. God bless, Steve |
