Subject: How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? |
Bible Note: I agree with you completely that Jesus had no inward desire or inclination to sin. I am not so sure that the reason He did not sin when He was tempted is because of the fact that He was (and is) God. To avoid repetition, please see the note from Reformer Joe ("I hold that the reason for his temptation...") and my reply ("Hmmm... When God created humans, He made...") Your comments would be appreciated. |
