Subject: How does God judge and who? |
Bible Note: Hi BOB, and JOHN:: It seems there is an answer to both of your positions. Bob you say: When he was tempted in every way that we are, he could not use one ounce of his deity to resist it or he would have an advantage over us in facing temptation. So his perfect life puts us to shame since we should have been able to resist as well. answer: Your infference, is mixed with apples, and oranges You use scripture that was to a person (Abram) before there was LAW, and then to a people under the law "were not". The Holy Spirit is the Unifying factor, between Jesus, and us. Giving to (both) from the POWER of God himself, the ability to overcome temptation, because we are in Jesus, Matt. 3:16 16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Act 1:8 8) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” John you say: Hi Bob, can you show us please just where in scripture is says that "we should have been able to resist" temptation, as you say? answer: We as unsaved (unregenerated) human beings, have no power in our lives to resist anything! So what you said to Bob is correct as far as that goes. Although there is scripture for us who "Do" believe. Gal. 5:16 16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. In Love Nevvvvine |
