Jesus a Sinner? |

What is meant by Jesus come in the
flesh? I John 4:2 Hereby * * know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: "Flesh" should read 'sinful nature'. Yes, that is right, Jesus was born a sinner, but this is only in reference to his soul, his spirit is still of God, and as you will see in further study this will show Jesus the pattern son or the way to salvation. Remember Jesus becomes sin for us and He doesn't become sin at the cross, or this would violate the OT standard that the lamb of sacrifice should be without spot or blemish. However Jesus pays the price of sin by his death. Jesus dies on the cross a perfect/mature man, but not as God. Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. The better word here for angels should read prophets (OT prophets) While OT prophets did die, they were not born with sinful natures as Jesus was born with. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nation. |
