Subject: What was the point of the temptation ? |
Bible Note: Hello Jesusman, You might want to quit wile you're ahead?:-) To say "Jesus, while he was here on earth, could have, if he wanted to, given into temptation" is simply speculation. You're postulating upon something that didn't happen and furthermore- if it did - would have doomed mankind! You can't have much of a Savior when He falls into temptation. To be our Mediator, Christ had to fulfill 3 things: 1. He had to be God; 2. he had to be man; 3. He had to be sinless He fulfilled all 3! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
