ArchivedJesuss Deity... :: To AlphaTo Alpha It is not saying that God cannot send His only begotten Son to die for our sins. Amen! In fact [Num 23:19, Job 9:32, Hosea 11:9] have nothing to with the Son!! I most definitely believe that GOD sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins. You are right; GOD does not have these characteristics. Therefore, GOD CANNOT even be tempted to lie or commit any other sin. However a man can. And a man was sent to be tempted in all points.Although this man was so tempted, he DID NOT succumb to temptation and sin. This man is Jesus of Nazareth. Although he committed no sin, indeed he had the same power of choice, as did Adam. He had the characteristics, as you put it, to do exactly as his progenitor, the man Adam, had done. However, where Adam failed, Jesus succeeded. Otherwise, the temptations would be pointless. It was the spirit of GOD, which drove Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. [Mark 1:12] If it was IMPOSSIBLE for Jesus to be tempted to sin, the whole episode would be pointless and meaningless. So what does that tell me, Alpha? It tells me that Jesus is qualified without doubt, to be touched with our infirmities [Heb 4:15, 2:18]; it tells me that Jesus is truly worthy to be exalted by GOD to be Lord of all. It tells me that he is my brother as well as my Lord. It tells me that he is worthy. It tells me that he is the Holy One of GOD. And above all, it tells me, that to teach that Jesus is somehow GOD or a ‘god-man’ demeans and lessens what Christ actually did and went through for us ... this I will not do! That is what it tells me! |
