WWJD Poll

I jest not. Jesus was fully human, prone to the same limitations that all other humans have (except for sin). Sometimes we're prone to unforeseen circumstances. Jesus would have likewise been prone.

 

nothing is 'unforseen' to Jesus. remember the part in the bible where he tells his disciples to go, and when they meet a man with a donkey,say, this is for the master, and the man will give over the donkey?

i don't think any thing is 'unforseen' to Jesus.
he is all, sees all, and whatever else all... except for sin.

 

Scripture doesn't indicate that you're correct. In fact, Jesus says that the day/hour of his return is unforseen to him. While there are indeed certain events in the NT where Jesus foresaw something, it shoult not be presumed that nothing was unforseen to him. He was fully human, except for sin. The absence of the sin nature does not empower a person with forseeing ability. In fact, the unforseen (and how we deal with it) is part of the human experience, and not a result of sin.

 

Poll is a little dubious. I mean, how can we really know a lot of these questions.

How about, What Did Jesus Do?

1. Did Jesus play games as a kid?
2. Did Jesus joke around with the disciples ever?
3. Did Jesus not like certain foods?
4. Did Jesus engage in small talk?
etc...

Of course, the Bible only records those things he said and did with theological significance. I wonder what the day-to-day Jesus was like.

 

I'm incredibly curious myself. But it's obviously theologically irrelevant.

Alcott, you never answered me if you thought Jesus sinned in view of your statement about him being away from Mary and Joseph in Jerusalem.

If Alcott, doesn't answer, or even if he does, I may start a poll on this after I get back from my trip next week.

 

Jesus wouldn't need to use the internet. He knows everything.

 

Maybe he'd want to post on some message boards or e-mail.

 

Luk 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
Casting out devils & healing, & most certainly rising on the third day are of theological significance. But calling someone a fox? I'm very sure Jesus had a sense of humor, to go along with all the other attributes of being human!!

Johnv, yes he was fully human but we must remember he was also FULLY GOD too!!

 

If Jesus used the internet, I think He would use it to teach us.

 

Are you back yet? and if so, where is your poll located?

 

I fully understand the purpose of the poll. I think it is very thought provoking. The WWJD slogan has been around for years, and although I would like to apply it to every aspect of my life, I must admit that I have to constantly ask myself if I am really and truly considering WWJD, (especially in controversial situations).
