AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. |
Bible Question (short): Did Jesus experence real temptation? |
Question (full): This is a serious question. The whole question is "Did Jesus experience temptation as humans experience it?" I really do not understand or even see how He could have come close to experencing temptation to the degree and depth in which we experence it. Jesus did not have a natural inclination to sin as we do. Jesus did not even have the ability to sin. We do. Jesus hates sin and can not tolorate it. We do not always hate sin and are usually attracted to it. Jesus never fell to temptation over and over again there by making the temptation more inticing and resistance to it weaker. I am a born again Christian who has repented of my sins and am trusting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for the redemption of my sins. I am a babe in Christ earnestly seeking answers to questions I have concerning His word and His character. Any help in understanding this would be gratefully accepted. I want to walk as closely with Jesus as I can. My intentions are not to offend anyone or to be irreverent. I just want to know Jesus and know about Jesus. Praise be to God, Brazos |
