To clarify, could(not would) Jesus go against his divine nature? Have an idea of the answer but would love to hear your responses and scripture to support it. Thanks Edited August 11, 2017 by Seanc Clarity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus had the brains and the ability to sin. If He didn't He would not have been human. But Jesus Christ was perfect unlike us. He was not acting out in evil. You can't sin if there is no desire. Jesus Christ had no desire to sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No. It wasnt possible! Jesus was God in the flesh. Remember when he said" before Abraham; I AM.  If it possible for Jesus to sin he would not have been the perfect sacrificial lamb that was slain for our sins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He even sweat drops of blood as he anguished and asked God the Father if there were any other way so that he didn't have to go to the cross. Â He finally resigned himself the the Father's will. Â But had He not had a choice there would have been no struggle. Â Yes He had free will to disobey, but He did obey and took our sins upon himself when He went to the cross fulfilling all the law and the prophets. Â Hebrews 12 reminds us of His agonizing decision. Heb 12:4 ESV Â In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering about when Jesus was ready to die he took on all the sins of the world unto himself and God separated himself from Jesus at that time hence Jesus said why have you forsaken me. Because God could not be in presence of sin. I may not had said this right hopefully you catch my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
