Subject: Adam and Christ? |
Bible Note: Dear Steve, I'm sorry concerning what I said about Christ's body. I worded that badly. What I meant was that because He inherited his body from His earthly mother only, and did not have an earthly father [though He pre-existed as the Son of God and was With God in the beginning and was also our Creator] in the sense of His flesh, He did not inherit Adam's sin nature which Adam passed down to everyone else born of man since his fall. However, in His flesh, He was as Adam was before the fall and had the free will to sin, though He chose not to. The reason I say this is because of what it says in Hebrews 4:15- "For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in ALL POINTS TEMPTED like as we are, yet without sin." One instance is in Matthew 4:1-11, where the devil tempts Him. Had it not been possible for Him to choose to sin, it would not have been a temptation. This is the basis of my reasoning. Itiswritten. |
