                 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…..
