COULD JESUS HAVE SINNED?
People have been told about Jesus all their
lives that He was “totally God and totally man” at
the same time.
Anyone who believes in the risen Jesus believes
this, that includes me.
There are issues in that belief that I think are
poorly addressed.
Most of the explanations of that statement come
from a wrong premise.
The question of “ could Jesus have sinned” is
one issue that bears looking at.
Logically, if he could not have sinned, then
everything about Him is a lie.
The Bible, Gods Word, tells us that Jesus “was
tempted in all points as we, yet without sin."
Adam, the first man, was created in Gods image,
“let us create man in our image."
Adam was created without sin, was tempted by
Satan, yielded and all generations from Adam
thereafter were born with natures without the Spirit
of God. A human vessel without eternal life.
Adam the first man had fallen.
Jesus was made the second “Adam”, the “new man’.
Jesus was morally and spiritually perfect at all
time, in every way.
He did NOT share Adams nature, or become united
with the SINFUL human race.
The Holy Spirit “came upon” the virgin
mother……He “overshadowed “ her.
Jesus took part in “blood and flesh” LIFE
DIRECTLY FROM GOD,--SINLESS, ENTIRELY SEPARATE FROM
THE ADAMIC RACE!
We dare not reduce Him to our human, Adamic
standing.
Jesus was not born with a fallen nature as are
we.
We are condemned in Adam.
Jesus is the sinless, second man---tempted as
was Adam but not yielding and He died SINLESS for the
fallen Adamic race….”that whosoever believeth in Him
should have everlasting life."
He who “ knew no sin",had the “iniquity of us
all” PLACED ON HIM BY GOD………He was “forsaken” by God
when He died on the cross.
HE BORE OUR SINS IN HIS BODY BUT NOT HIS
SPIRIT…….HIS SPIRIT WAS INNOCENT. Our OLD man was
crucified with Him.
He was “made to be sin” on our behalf…that we
might become the righteousness of God……………..Could he
have sinned? …yielded to temptation as Adam did?
……YES……Did He?…….NO!--------------------David…..
