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: Mel: It is really not a question of where I "place Jesus." It is a matter of where the Bible says He is. Very God of very God. Far be it from me or anyone else to try and "redefine" God the Son in a way that would make Him more comfortable for my sinful nature to live with! We cannot reach God. In light of our total depravity and God's infinite holiness, we in our pre-Christian state don't even WANT to. God had to reach down to us. --Joe! |
