Answer 1

No He could not sin. He was impeccable.

See:

For a clear discussion.

Answer 2

Jesus was tempted by Satan but didnt give in to temptation so He didnt sin. His temptation was very real because when Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights, Jesus would have been very hungry and satan knew this so satan tried to test Jesus by trying to put God to the Test. Jesus refused. Jesus remained sinless.

Answer 3

Jesus could not sin, if he did then the Cross would be nullified and there would be not price paid to redeem the crimes of men against Holy God.

He had an understanding that no man has ever had. Knowing fully the things of God and being fully man. Temped, yes, sinned no.

Question is do you understand the need for the price he paid?



Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.

But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.

If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.

The Good Person Test.

How will you do? Pass or fail?


Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?

Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?

Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?

Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?

See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?

If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.

Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.

The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

Answer 4

Whether Jesus sinned or not depends purely on your own religious beliefs.

For example the Gnostic belief, with their 'extra' books of the bible, belive that Jesus and Mary Magdelene were married, had a daughter, and so forth. But in one of the Gnostic gospels it mentions Jesus killing out of spite as a child.

I'm not saying its right or wrong, all I'm basically saying without answering anything really is that its down to your own belief, and faith ... and perception of what constitutes a sin. For example killing in the name of God is it a sin or not?

Answer 5

yes he was tempted by satan, litterally!! jesus had just got baptized byjohn and the lord god had told john earlier, the one which the holy spirit rest on like a dove the same is my son, the sign came to pass when he baptized jesus so he knew he was god's son. then jesus was led away to the wilderness to be tempted by stan(matthew 4:1) he fatsed 40 days and nightsand satan came and saidif you are the son of god command these stones to be made to bread, knowing he was very hungry, and that he could do it, but jesus saidit is written, man shall not live by bread alone, you can go back and read from matthew3"16 on to 4"1 and it will tell how he was tempted and how he used the word to overcome satan. he could have sinned, he was made flesh, but the love of god made it impossible for him to sin

Answer 6

Luke 4
The Temptation of Jesus
1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, 2where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.'[a]"

5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7So if you worship me, it will all be yours."

8Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'[b]"

9The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. 10For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[c]"

12Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[d]"

13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

Could Jesus sin? Could Jesus have sinned during Temptation? Jesus was obedient, therefore sinless
Was his temptation real? As real as any we have.
What is impeccablity? Huh?

Answer 7

wouldn't the polite way to get the traders and money lenders out of the temple courtyard have been to ask them to leave nicely and if they refused to have argued the case at the Sanhedrin rather than throwing a tantrum, knocking tables over and assaulting people. the story seems to be showing the human side of Jesus indulging in the sin of anger.

Answer 8

NO.

If He could, and did, the lamb of God
could not take away the sin of the world. The lamb had to be perfect.
Without defect.

That is why He could not sin.
He was sent here to save the world from sin. God is not a fool. He knew what He was doing.

Answer 9

he was tempted but he never sinned.. proof.. All the things he did was to do a great deal for the Church of God and to help it more. IT is written that, to do anything bad for the sake of glorifying/honoring(something like that) the church is seen as good by God. Just for the sake of God's Church and not on anything else.

Answer 10

He was tempted in all ways, just as we are.

Yet without sin.

Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Answer 11

Under strict biblical definitions of sin, Jesus sinned several times, and also violated the cleanliness code.

Unlike many Christians, however, he seemed to be familiar with his religion's holy books.
