[QUOTE="Found Isles, post: 68684072, member: 381187"] Hello, I have read the New Testament multiple times, and while reading it most recently the possibility that Jesus Christ may not have had free will came to me. If God acted through Christ-- who was a human-- to cause a change on Earth, how much of Christ's actions were his own, and what degree of his actions were God's? It seemed that Christ had at times many of the frailties of humans, but at other times the insight and confidence of not just a prophet, but God-incarnate. There are many different interpretations and conclusions that are arrived at when reading the New Testament, and my current interpretation is that God possessed Christ's body occasionally to effect a change on Earth. This seems to be a violation of the free will that God has instilled in humanity, and an action which is not perfectly good on God's part. Please help me understand the relationship between God and Christ more. -Jordan [/QUOTE]
