We’re talking in the context of being fully human. That does include sexuality. There is a difference between having attraction and yearning for sexual gratification. If that were not the case, people would not find partners to get married to. I’m sure Jesus liked girls, but not for pure...

I have to disagree. The original Koine Greek word has the definitions that means: make proof of, to attempt, test, tempt. There is nothing wrong with translation into English with regards to the context the writer was illustrating.

So is the writer of Hebrews wrong? Is it your contention that Jesus didn’t experience everything a humans does?

I cannot even begin to ponder that.

The writer of Hebrews states He was attempted in every way. Did He have lust in His heart? No. Was he tempted by lust? I’m sure He was. Again, Jesus was fully human.

Hebrews is starting to become my favorite book as it deals not only Jesus’s nature as man and God, but also the roots Jesus had in Judaism.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin. Hebrews 4:15 Of course He was tempted as scripture tells us. To deny that would be to deny His humanity.

The nature of God is so far beyond what we humans can even begin to comprehend. We’re talking about a force so powerful that the entire universe of trillions of stars was formed by His will. When I really ponder that,I know exactly how David felt. When I consider your heavens, the work of your...

Lies of the enemy and of ourselves. Not only were unclean spirits attached to me, I believed their lies and my own. So much so one night(Drunk as ever) I walked around my place yelling and screaming at them with a loaded gun in my hand. I was convinced they had won and I was broken. The Lord in...

That’s That’s another aspect that can be taken into consideration.

I guess we don’t really know. We have all eternity to ask Him though. 😇

If we are talking in terms of His human side, I would say yes.

Perhaps He said that so the women would come forward to have her sin forgiven. What about when His brothers asked him to go to Jerusalem and said no, but later changed His mind? Again this could be all due to His humanness.

We have an understanding of that, but doubters and skeptics use these verses to state Jesus was not God incarnate.

I think this also draws a correlation to when Jesus was tempted by Satan. People ask “How can God be temped by the Devil?” The answer is Jesus was being tempted as a man. His humanity was being lured yet He did not sin.

I agree with that. Thank you for clearing that up

I agree with your overall premise. I don’t know what you mean by informed as Holy Spirit God in flesh

Yes. Some tend to overlook the fact that Jesus had a duel nature(Fully human/Fully God).

Well of course He does, but why did He say that?
