But Jesus need to do more than be sinless. In John 14 Jesus said "if you have seen Me - you have seen the Father" - nobody could say that but God the Son. Mary could not say it... a sinless angel from heaven incarnated as man could not have said that. Jesus revealed the Father to mankind. What is more - Jesus "is the atoning sacrifice for our sins - and not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world" 1 John 2:2. No being in heaven, no being from earth - could have absorbed/engulfed/sustained all the torment owed for all the sins for all mankind in all of time. God alone could do that. Jesus paid the second-death torment owed by every sinner - the exact amount owed for each person...for each sin. The payment that the Law demanded - fully met. Well said Bob.

Mary thus did not pass on to Jesus a perfect body as she was born in sin. Marilyn. What makes you think that feeling fatigue is an effect of the Fall? Jesus was, in fact, perfect at all points. Jesus was not fallen in any aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Shiloh, Adam needed sleep but he would not have been tired throughout the day, he would not have had damage to his body or have died. Now what of the human, do you believe that Mary passed on? How was the Lord part of the human race? Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you know that? Jesus' death was not a result of a fallen state. How do you know that Adam was impervious to injury? Jesus chose the moment to give up His spirit. Jesus death was not the result of anything men did to Him. Quote Now what of the human, do you believe that Mary passed on? How was the Lord part of the human race? Marilyn. Jesus was 100% human, but Jesus did not have a fallen state, physically or spiritually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn`t say that Jesus` death was a result of a fallen state. I agree that He gave up his spirit, however his body then died. As to Adam, well if he could have had injury then a serious one would lead to death which was not at that time. Now you didn`t answer as regards to Mary. What part did she give the Lord or do you think that she just carried what the Holy Spirit placed there? Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am asking for a scriptural argument that Adam was impervious to injury. I am not asking for an argument from silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus is the only exception; being conceived of the Holy Spirit. Mary was an ordinary human being; born into inherent sin, just as we are. God simply chose her to be the vessel through whom Jesus entered the world. I believe RCC beliefs to be non-biblical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
