Again, you are simply trying to ignore what is clearly stated in the Bible and projecting your own concept as to whose power was manifested in and through Christ. Did Jesus not say that He would raise Himself from the dead? And does not Scripture also say that God the Father and God the Holy Spirit were involved with His resurrection (Q) and does that not mean that Christ -- as God -- was also working miracles, while the Father and the Holy Spirit were also involved (Q).

But to refute your misconception that Christ did not do miracles as God, let us look at the Scripture which specifically says that He did.

King James Bible (Luke 11:20)
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Did you get that (Q) Jesus says that His finger is God s finger, and He is casting out devils (demons) as God. It is also His finger which carved out the Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone.

The biggest mistake which Christians can make is to try and *figure out* the nature of Christ as the God-Man. It is by faith that we believe He is fully God and fully sinless Man.

This is how Jesus did miracles :

Acts 10:38

[SUP]38 [/SUP]And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

I do not deny he was fully God and fully sinless man, but I do disagree that you state he did everything as God, he never did that and the Bible proves it. How could God anoint Jesus with the Holy Spirit and why would he need to if Jesus was doing miracles through his own divinity? DO you see hoe you conflate this?

Did you ever stop to think that Jesus was showing us how to do what he did as a man and with the help of the Holy Spirit?

I am fully aware that Christ was without sin.

You claimed Christ could not be tempted like other men. The Bible says he was.

this has always been one of those things that made no sense to me. the doctrine on Jesus says he was unlike us being as He was a godman and we are men. so had Jesus been like us would he have passed that temptation?

Do you find any story about Jesus's emotion feeling? Does Jesus always calm and logical without losing temper?

Jesus sounded a little emotional when He threw out the money changers.

To understand, you need to know satan is not a snake, which is a metaphor for man's fleshly nature. Jesus had a fleshly nature but He did not sin because He had a Godly nature greater than any man before or since. (God in the flesh). Therefore able to overcome sin for all who believe in Him. God made us the way we are but He also made a way to overcome the way we are and that way is Christ Jesus!

We believe that Christ Jesus would remove our sin if we believe HIM enough, and the next question is Assume that Christ Jesus can remove our SIN if and only if we have enough confidence on believing HIM. From our point of view, how much confidence do we believe that our sin are removed by Christ Jesus? From Christ Jesus point of view, how much confidence do Christ Jesus require to evaluate that we are confidence enough? so Jesus Christ would remove our SIN. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

Faith is not about law but I would say we need enough faith that it changes toward the good how we live. I like your funny face

Luke 22 starting at verse 39 shows Jesus could be tempted, but he prayed through the temptation that the fathers will be done.
