YES! I ask God all the time, "who am I that You love me?" :tear: ....:praying: ......:saint:
Does anyone else feel God's Spirit here? Or is it just me?
Jesus had a human nature?

Hebrews 13:8 Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever
This means even as Christ is in heaven, he is the same as he was on earth.
When Adam sinned, he became a sinner.
Christ could not become a sinner by choice, as he is the same yesterday, today and forever. -

I wouldn't say the point is "moot," just that we can't comprehend all that the hypostatic union is and entails. In other words, it's a mystery we have no definitive or final answer for.

1 Corinthians 15:45-47*(NKJV)
And so it is written, 'The first man Adam became a living being.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven -
Not sure what you are thinking of -- Docetism maybe? -

Joining in late here guys----hope you don't mind
Yes---I stand firm on the impeccablility of the Lord Jesus Christ---He is not able----plus---He is not willing to sin
Now that the puzzle has been solved---maybe someone can answer this hypothetecal(sp) question----probably has nothin' to do with anything, though
but
What if------what if the Lord Jesus HAD sinned and become a sinner like you and I????
Now, I know He BECAME sin---but He never BECAME a sinner----becoming a sinner was and is an impossiblity for the Lord Jesus
But
What if??? What if He had become a sinner---what if He had sinned??
(1) What would that have made Him??
(2) Where would that have left us??
Remember we are dealing with a "What if" here

Here's a few questions that have a bearing on the issues here and that I don't think have ever been answered.
Where in scripture is the "sin nature" described or identified? I don't mean the "sinful nature" that Paul refers to.
Where does it say that it was added to Adam after the fall? Genesis talks about them knowing good and evil but nothing about a "sin nature".
Where in scripture does it say the "sin nature" (if it exists) is passed only by the father?
If Jesus is 100% flesh but only 99% human what is the other 1% flesh composed of?
If Jesus literally couldn't sin, or even really be tempted, wouldn't that indicate that he was lacking in part of our normal human emotions?
Has anyone ever seen a newborn baby actually be born talking, much less telling lies? Is it possible the psalmist was using exaggerated poetic language in lhis lament and not trying to teach doctrine?
Okay, that's enough for now... -

Mark 14
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Luke 22
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
