Why didn't Jesus sin? How did He keep from sinning?

[mva1985]

Just for clarification. Stormy sometimes when you write "no, not even", I feel like you are discounting how I feel about something.

Anyways, that is just me maybe I have not read enough of your posts to get a real take on it.

Thanks brother!!

I had to chuckle about this. Stormy, I'm definitely not trying to make you mad - in your picture you look like you're pretty solid so I don't want you beating me up at an Alumni Weekend

But really the text came from the Lord. Sometimes a person realizes that something is futile aka "casting pearls before the swine" so you just stop discussing something with them. I have found myself doing that several times on this forum. Which is usually out of character for me. Must have something to do with T&O's email to me the first week I was here.

Just my two cents.

interesting... the question I would ask then is what position do you see yourself in the one doing the casting, or the swine to which something is being cast?

What's that supposed to mean? Was it postmarked, "Pearly Gates?"

You missed the part about the dogs.

And you are a "pastor"?

Actually, Saint Peter hand delivered it

Christ was born of the Holy Spirit, not the seed of a man. Though not quite in the same format, He was made directly by God as Adam was made.

Could He have sinned? Its an age-old question. I say yes. He was, in all ways, like the First Adam before the Fall (The victory and overcoming life of Christ is in itself an establishment by God that the First Adam was not defunct or deficient when created, that he could've remained true, sinless, and overcoming before God!).

He was in human form God, yet He disrobed Himself of any advantages while on earth until He died. His power and wisdom came by the Holy Spirit which is why He said in Luke 4, "the Spirit of the Lord is upon Me" in which He would do the works listed there (heal the sick, set free those in captivity, preach the Good News to the poor, etc.). He truly experienced all that we experience, and He remained sinless.

I disagree, Mary was definitely His mother from mankind or why would they bother going through all that they did. Jesus would just show up and forget the birth, the mother, the angels, the sheperds, the wise men........

Do you have a problem with that?

He's God, and God cannot sin. If he could he wouldn't be God.

This question never was answered.

But I am going to assume, from various posts in the past clearly implying such, that we Progressives are the ones relegated to the pen where we rollick in the mire as those great jewels of TSDA wisdom plop right beside us unnoticed.

I sure wish I didn't have you on ignore so I could respond to that.

HOOT!

Honestly Night, it's not a matter of Prog/Trad at this point. Maco seems to feel EXACTLY the same way I do (at least about the "trinity")....and he's Prog.

In fact, from the things he posts it looks like EGW felt exactly the same way I do, too.

I think it was Mjona that told me that the fundamental belief about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit was worded differently in the 1950s (correct me if I'm wrong Jon)...but I have no problem saying "I believe that" to the way it's worded now.

I'm as dadgum, knee-slapping Traditional as you can get, even though people want to tell me that I'm not.

But that doesn't change the fact that Maco and I seem to see eye-to-eye on this one, and he takes the label Prog and I take the label Trad. We agree.

When I disagree with something, it's when someone states a BELIEF I don't agree with, it really has nothing to do with who says it.

Maco and I have gone round and round about alcohol, jewelry, etc., but we DO agree about the trinity doctrine.

How do you explain that when you use these sweeping generalizations about "TSDA wisdom"? Instead of coming to some kind of agreement, I get told "well, then you're not Traditional". That's really not true, but everybody wants a division and a label I guess.

Yep.... T&O in my opinion read into something I said, and I offered my explanation as to what I meant.... MVA suggests a text, the implications are quite clear, and nothing is said... silence.... and that speaks volumes....

I didn't answer the question because I am done discussing it. It is pointless and I don't see that there will be any gain in doing so - so I dropped it.

 

[mva1985]

Do you have a problem with that?

It was a rhetorical question.

 

[NightEternal]

Trust, I sincerly hope you were kidding with this.

If not, then THWACK for putting me on iggy!

 

[TrustAndObey]

Night, how would I quote what you said if I had you on ignore? Of course I don't!

SO.....

Oh gosh, I found another smiley JUST FOR YOU. BRB
