Bible Note: Greetings Edwin! I have no problem comprehending what you say. I just disagree with it! “Let me try once more to make my position clear. At Matthew 26:53, Jesus said "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father" (ESV), please tell me Steve would I be right in interpreting this as "I can appeal to my Father", I am able to do it, it is not impossible for me to do this , however, although I can, I will not, as if I did, how would Scripture be fullfiled?, (verse 54). Please, Please tell me Steve, have I completely misunderstood what Jesus was saying, and if so how then should I have understood it?” No, I would not agree with your interpretation. Where you and I differ is where you insert “however, although I can, I will not”. This to me is a stretch and misses the point of why He said what He said. “If Jesus were to have done what He clearly said He could do, and thereby have prevented Scripture from being fullfiled, would He have sinned?, Yes, or No.” If Jesus had done as you say, what He said, do you think the following verse would say what it says? It’s obvious we see this differently. But trust me, it’s not because I don’t understand what you are saying. As I said, I just disagree with it. Right or wrong in interpretation, I will always try and submit to His Holiness and with His grace do my best not to make God into our image just because I cannot grasp His word or His ways. To me, it is foolishness of us to apply the wisdom of man which seems to, if not always make God into our own image. You find strength in that you say the Lord Jesus could have sinned but didn't. So be it! I on the other hand find strength that The Lord God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is Holy and sin never has been, is not, and never will be a threat to corrupting His Holiness. God bless you Edwin! Steve |
