At the apologetics forum, this came up.
a poster said that Jesus was self righteous, and we throughly "let him have it". But upon his continuance to disagree with us, I finally got what he was saying. He was not meaning "self righteous" in the way you speak it in common parlance, ie arrogant, stuck up, full of yourself, etc. But instead he meant it like "Jesus' righteousness came from Himself", hence "self righteousness".
I suggested that in apologetical and evangelistic situation- if this ever comes up- that we should not just say "Jesus is self righteous" with no explanation. But I digress. . .
OK, here's the question:
Jesus has two natures. Does His righteousness come from His Divine nature, His human nature, or both?
Does He get His human righteousness via His divine nature? Or is His human nature righteous anyway?
I'm gonna tell the poster over there that I posted this here, and hopefully you guys will receive him better than the guys at the apologetics forum, and also this seems the correct place to post this topic, so hopefully it'll get addressed more sufficiently here. Cool.
