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. |
Subject: How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? |
Bible Note: Sinlessness and perfection are the same thing, in terms of morality. Jesus was tempted, exposed to the opportunities to sin. However, in every way he chose not to do so. Jesus did not stop being God during the incarnation, which means that he did not "become imperfect" in any moral sense of the term. To say that Jesus became imperfect is blasphemy. --Joe! |
