How did Jesus keep from sinning?

[makesends]

This is the answer IMO.
God cannot sin by definition.

I agree, BUT ...He did not do it as a result of being sinless, but as a result of doing it the way we are supposed to. There was nothing automatic about it.

... he was/is God so you are saying He depended on Himself. Granted, Jesus is a subset of God as shown be Him not being omnipresent or all knowing.

Well, no, I'm not saying he depended on himself. (And, aside, there may be something definitive of the persons of the Trinity in that subject.) I'm saying he depended on the Father. He and the Father being one does not translate into Human Language well.

Being sinless is an effect and not a cause so by definition one does not remain sinless as a result (caused by) being sinless. (hmmm... sounds like double talk .. oh well)

... too deep ... I swim in the shallow section of the pool with the Christian guppies.


Where have you been hiding? Haven't seen you for awhile.

It would seem being sinless is the cause. He forgives all our sin.

My point is that he remained sinless in the most earthy and difficult of ways —that it was not what we think of as, 'automatic' since he was God.

Probably where most of us should learn to swim. But I've got these floaties, and I found a pool noodle. Pretending I know what to do in the deep end.

Been on a 3-week trip to see friends and do some work. About to embark on another one. Trying to see if my laptop will not put me over 50 lbs this time.

You offered He and the Father being one does not translate into Human Language well.

Yes, it's the kind of religion Christ puts his stamp of approval on. To strengthen the believers' fatherless. . widows .

Knowing we were widows without our Heaven Father before we became his bride

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

The special care of the household of the faith of Christ


Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God
