Bible Question:
Another thought.It seems that Jesus had the choice to do his will or the Father's will.Does this mean that Jesus had his own will apart from the Father?Was it possible for Jesus to act otherwise than in accordance with the Father's will,and does it follow that it was theoretically possible for Jesus to do evil i.e acting not in accordance with the Father's will? |
Bible Answer: 5:19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. John 5:30 "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. John 8:28 So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. It seems clear in these verses that Jesus does the Father's will, period. |
