Did Jesus sin when His feet were on the Earth?

Remembering that the faith of God never ever asks why.

Was Jesus asking why or announcing the fulfillment of Psalm 22?

Was Jesus asking why or announcing the fulfillment of Psalm 22?

I can remember back to a time when I was in the 7th grade that I though Jesus was asking "why" on the cross. I actually wrote a paper on it for 7th grade English and read the paper to the class (which you could do back in the mid-60s in Oklahoma).

And then I remember a bit later when I finally read Psalm 22 and understood that declaring Psalm 22 was Jesus' actual act of "I lay down my life of my own accord."

Sin is defined as breaking commandments (1 John 3:4). The answer then is no.

But you can't claim he was fully human and perfect too

Sure you can, because to be fully human is to be perfect. To sin is to be less than fully human.

Read what Paul wrote to the church at Corinth...

Why? Doesn't change anything. I think you got a mis-translation. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Only if you define "fully human" different than human in God's Plan and Purpose in Christ Jesus.

To say that God's purpose or intent was for us to sin is blasphemous, and to say that Adam wasn't fully human until after he fell is absurd.

Sorry you misunderstand. Too many false premises to try to explain here. In other words, it will take other threads to get to the truth, God Willing.

At least to be human as God originally designed and made the first humans.

Exactly. Adam was fully human before the fall, and when he sinned he lost the state of original holiness that he had been created in. To lose something is to have less, and so to sin is to be less than fully human.

Jesus, being God, cannot have sinned because God cannot sin. He was fully God and fully Man in every sense, including in that he did not sin.

Did Jesus sin when His feet were on the Earth?

No. If he had, he couldn't have died for our sins, and there'd be no Gospel.

Why do you say that "the faith of God never ever asks why"?

Jesus of Nazareth was the unblemished lamb sacrificed for atonement of our sins. And He was and is God. I can't imagine how God could sin.

No? First, it was tantamount to all the precepts of justice that Jesus lived without sinning to show that man could live on this earth without sinning. Furthermore, as fully man Jesus had to face the same temptations we do, however, he could not have died for our sins. Why? Because under those same precepts of justice he would have been incapable of serving as the atonement for our sins. And lastly, as fully God he could not have sinned and yet still have been in his own presence.

 

[marineimaging]

No.
He did not become sin (sorry someone or many deceived you there).

Agree. Jesus was the atonement for our sins. He did not need to be sin..., we have enough on our own.

This is an article I found on the Franciscan Media site that encapsulates the entire point of Christ lamenting his Father on the cross. The author articulates the truth of the situation so beautifully:

'Lamenting is not a failure of faith but an act of faith.'

Psalm 22: ‘My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?’

If you still believe Christ sinned by crying out to God at his death (and subsequent resurrection), then you may need to pray to the Father to give you especial healing, revelation and deliverance as I think you must seriously need it.

Christ was made sin, by virtue of being made flesh.

Christ was made sin, by virtue of being made flesh.

Are you saying that all flesh is inherently sin simply by being flesh?

Chapter and verse please. I would like to study that further.

Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Sorry there is no verse that just comes out and says it. It is the culmination of lots of verses. The flesh is corruption by virtue of not being made of corruptible dust.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Christ was made sin, by virtue of being made flesh.

Not possible. He remained sinlessly perfect .

He was made the sin-offering/ atoning for sin.

He could not redeem ANYONE if He was found with one teeny-weensy sin even.
