So a gnostic Christ would pretend to eat and then slip the food to the dog? So did He appear to bleed and die on the cross as well? I think we have gone around on this one several times. Jesus was fully human but without a sin nature as we have from Adam. Since He had no sin in Him, His active obedience to the Law was second nature to Him. He lack the sin nature in His humanity. Often He would point out the legalism and human feebles associated with the law. He did what the law could not do. He was the God/man. Both very God and very man. Chad: He was as much human as you or I. Then would we not be as much human as He was? Then what He did in His humanity we should also be able to do if we are the same. Or is there a distinction?

Yes he does... because he "appears" to eat, sleep, and weep. Your Jesus is no different from theirs. > > So are you saying He had the wrong answers, or that He made mistakes? Are wrong answers and mistakes "sins"? Hebrews 5 applied to Luke 2 tells us if Christ always got 100% on his "tests" and never missed a nail in the shop, it's because he was a perfect learner, not because he had omniscience/omnipotence. Hebrews 2, 4, 5 & 7 tell us that he experienced everything we experience but without sin. He was as much human as you or I. Chad Bresson Xenia, OH --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
