Why did Jesus?

[Carbon]

You'd rather him remain a baby????

Where did that come from?

Some insight into the Hebrew may help end the confusion.

As with everything concerning the Bible that clarifies, there are always agents of resistance that come up with counters.

In spite of that factor we will face in our spiritual warfare I will show you what I was shown that the Hebrew text states.
And, if you Google search you will find others who study Hebrew wonder why the Hebrew does say what it does.

​

"But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, ​

you will surely die.” Gen 2:17​

It could be translated that way as an easy way out. For the real wording is confusing at first glimpse for those not understanding the nature of fallen man.

What we are not told?

The literal Hebrew says... " in dying you shall die." (two deaths!)

Now.. When Adam ate? He did not drop dead physically. He began running around gathering fig leaves with the woman... looking for a place to hide!

So what happened? Did God lie?

Satan watching the whole thing probably was quick to accuse and condemn God for lying. For Adam did not drop dead.

And, in effect? Satan would be condemning and judging himself. For, he is the father of lies! In that way God gets his enemies to condemn themselves - "judge not lest ye be judged" ...

In the mean while? Adam ate. And, immediately died.... spiritually!

And, as a result of entering into spiritual death, and taking on the sin nature in his flesh? It began the process of causing an eventual physical death. Two deaths! "In dying you shall die."

I believe that the Tree of Life was there to be eaten in the event Adam had passed all the tests God would have brought his way.
And, as an achieving reward for faithfulness, God would have had Adam and the woman eat from the Tree of life as to perpetuate their state of proven perfection.


Instead?

Adam believed the lie, and ate the junk food.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, ​

so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned." Romans 5:12​

​

An interesting factor that the Greek shows about "because all sinned?"

The Greek means that all of us sinned in a single point in time! Constantive aorist.

When Adam ate and sinned? We all sinned in Adam at that moment in time.

Our fate to be born sinners was sealed in the garden in Adam!

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, ​

so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned (when Adam sinned)."

Thank you for the help ......Enligtened ...

Where did that come from?

YOU asked why Jesus "Aged". If he didn't, he'd remain a baby.

Hmmm ...
Premise 1: Born again means one who was spiritually dead (separated from God) and is now spiritually alive (not separated from God)
Premise 2: Matthew 27:46 ... Jesus to God, why have you foresaken me, means Christ's human nature was spiritually separated from God
Premise 3: Christ's human nature is currently at the right hand of God
Conclusion: Christ was born again
Aside: I want at least 50 to 1 odds if I have to bet on my conclusion *smile*

My bet is that even if you are wrong, my best conclusions are still not right.

But, *snerk*, at least, as long as you are wrong, I'm happy.

Jesus was holy, pure and sinless. So, why did he age?

According to Rom 5:12-21 we all get old and die not for anything we ourselves did,
but for what Adam did. In other words; Adam's entire posterity was doomed to die
the very instant he tasted the forbidden fruit because we are all accounted as
participants.

Now the thing is: It is very easy to show that Jesus is biologically related to Adam,
i.e. the first man is just as much Jesus' ancestor as he is all the rest of us.

FAQ: Then how can it be said Jesus is a lamb without blemish or spot?

REPLY: Christ committed no personal sins of his own (John 8:29, 2Cor 5:21, Heb
4:15, 1Pet 2:22). In point of fact, it was impossible for Jesus to commit sins of his
own. (1John 3:9)
