I wasn't talking about my feelings: I was talking about Christ's. People have
been misrepresenting him for years. I don't know how he puts up with it;
but there's coming a day when he will rectify all the untrue things that have
been said about him.

==============================
 
"Could" implies that He had the brain and free will capable of choosing sin, to which I would have to reply: Sure, He "could" have. But did Jesus actually sin? Absolutely not. Remember temptation is not sin. Just because Jesus was tempted does not mean He sinned. Also, we have to remember the entire reason God sent Jesus to this earth: to pay our sin debt. How could He do this if He had sin of His own? He wouldn't have been able to. He had to be without sin in order to sacrifice Himself.

Yes, He was fully man but He was also fully God and unlike all of us, was not born with a sin nature i.e. the desire to sin. Though his physical flesh was capable of sinning, his moral makeup would not allow it. He is God! :)

Could Jesus have sinned? The bible says he was tempted in all points yet without sin (Heb.4.15) The bible says he lived a sinless. Was it an impossibility for him to sin or could he have sinned given that he was man? Some believe that Jesus could have sinned as he was MAN while others hold the view that he could not have sinned given he was GOD.
Repeatedly, Jesus said he came not to do his Will but the Will of his father (Jn 5.19, 8.28). Does Jesus have a will of his own n so if HE followed his own way would of sinned?

What's your thoughts? :confused::confused::confused:

How could HE have 'sinned'?

When, 'as it is written', unlike us who have sinned, knowingly and unknowingly against GOD, that;

"HE knew not sin."
