Was jesus incapable of sinning because he was 'perfect' or did he resist the temptation to sin but could have hypothetically given in?
>>18506748The concept of sin does not apply to anything God does.
>>18506748Depends on how much you're willing to concede to Adoptionism, that jesus was possesed by God, Arianism, that jesus was a sort of second uncreated god, Ebionism, that jesus was a human prophet, or Docetism, that jesus was fully god and only appeared to be human
He could not have committed a sin because He was indwelt by the divine Logos to whom evil is anathema
>>18506748The hypostatic union entails two wills and two will natures. This means that Jesus had a human will, completely subordinated by the divine will, and a human nature which was assumed by the divine nature. If the life of Jesus was to take on the form of a servant to teach the nations how to be righteous, then he necessarily must have perfectly obeyed the Torah. And sin is, by definition, a transgression of the commandments of the Torah. That's why, when Satan tempts Jesus, he inclines him to transgress three different commandments.The real aim of the Torah is life, or as the Christians would put it, eternal life and subsistence in God. If you legitimately believe that God created the Law of Moses, and incarnated as Jesus Christ, then he did not sin because it would contrary to his mission on Earth.
>>18506916His human nature could theoretically sin, but his divine nature could not, because He is 100% human and 100% God. So practically, He could not because His spirit would prevent it by its purity, but His flesh would still want to sin as much as we do.
>>18506934Jesus did not come to this world to teach righteousness, but to save sinners, nor is the aim of the Torah to give life, but threefold, 1. To show us our great need for Christ, by pressing its curse against us miserable sinners 2. To restrain the evil of men 3. To show the believer how he might please God. Now to be sure if one kept the law perfectly they would receive eternal life, as God promised “Do this, and live”, but it was made impossible for us to satisfy this condition by the failure of our first parents, so that we all are held captive under sin and doomed to destruction. This then explains the God-man, for He came to succeed where the first man failed, to satisfy the demand of the law on behalf of everyone who believes, so that those whom God predestined might be imputed His perfect righteousness and stand before God and live, never again to fall into condemnation, but set free from sin, having nailed it to the cross.
>>18506937A mere man could theoretically sin, but the God-man could not. Now, the human nature is not a man which exists independently of God the Son, but there is one subsistence of two natures, so it is impossible to so separate the natures as to think of what the human nature could do. The man Jesus of Nazareth, considered apart from His divine nature, is someone other than the man Jesus of Nazareth who walked this earth.
>>18506916Jesus being a man of flesh and blood automatically disproves any claim of divinity. The divine are supposed to be perfect beings who transcend the physical universe. If Jesus was actually a god, then him becoming a man of flesh and blood would be degrading and insulting since he’d no longer be perfect.Then of course the fact that he died at all proves he was neither wise nor omnipotent. If he knew he was going to be crucified, then he would have taken steps to avoid it rather than allowing it to happen. Now of course you might respond by saying “it was necessary for muh prophecy and shiet), but this is disproved by the fact that he literally cried out to the Jewish god for allowing him to be crucified (which itself proves he was infact not the same being as the Jewish god)
>>18506748>God is tempted by sin he created to troll humansMake it make sense.
>>18506965There are no “gods” and no “divine beings” but one, so this should begin to clarify your unbelieving ignorance. Jesus could be both flesh and blood and divine because He was incarnate, i.e. He assumed human flesh to Himself, but without mixing the natures. Therefore He was both fully God and fully man at the same time.
>>18506749Must explain why Zognald Drumpf cheats on his wife and all christcucks are perfectly fine with it.
>>18506998El is singularElohim is plural; Jews, translators, and Christians simply distorted everything.God and the Gods created the world. This is a fact and corresponds to pagan myths.Monotheism is schizophrenia. Yes, there is a certain head of the gods, but nevertheless, the Gods=Elohim are also real. The world was created together.Perhaps there is even a primary source from which the Demiurge emerged, but the scriptures of Genesis confirm that YHWH + Elohim (=Gods) created the world together.Pagans were rightcope
>>18507049There is no polytheism in the bible, which from Genesis to Revelation recognizes the existence of precisely one God. The plural of elohim is a title of dignity, which refers only to Yahweh (whose name is often used interchangeably with it, and often called “Yahweh Elohim”) and which is often used with singular verbs, showing that the object is singular despite the plural form.
He isn't "incapable" of anything.Sin is a condition, like a sickness, which Jesus is supernaturally free of by virtue of the immaculate conception.He's the doctor that can heal you of this terminal infection. His mother, from whom he got his stainless human body, cannot be said to he a doctor in this sense because while sinless herself she is not God and did not personally pay the blood price for Adam.
>>18507618>He isn't "incapable" of anything.>Sin is a condition, like a sickness, which Jesus is supernaturally free of by virtue of the immaculate conception.so he's incapable of sinning
