Did Jesus ever have a single lustful thought?

Question

If Jesus were TRUE man and not a demigod, this natural state of humans would seem to be essential to the process

Is the mere thought of lust sinful?

Answer 1

I'm sure. He was afterall, human.

Answer 2

There is noticing an attractive women, even wondering what it would be like to be in a relationship. That's not the same as lust. Lust is where you imagine yourself having sex with someone. It's rape in your mind. You see a hot women and imagine getting it on with her. She didn't say yes, but you go ahead in your mind. Also the bible says that we are to be with one woman. Yet if you lust after women, you are unfaithful.

Yet nowhere in the bible does it say it's wrong to noticing a beautiful woman or even admire her for the way she keeps herself physically.

So could Jesus have had his head turned by a beautiful woman, it's possible, does that mean he lusted , no. I know for me I'll notice a beautiful woman, but I don't sit there and gauk. I value woman as people not as objects, Christ valued people, he didn't view them as objects. The bible teaches to view woman as sisters or mothers. Hopefully it would be hard to lust after your sister or mother. What's the difference? It's the value you place on them. In biblical times, the way men and women courted is different. A hardy woman that could bear many children and work hard was more attractive than a skinny woman that had no desire to do hard work.

Look at Ruth in the bible, she was attractive but very strong, she carried large amounts of grain. Probably close to 50 pounds. Let's see Paris Hilton do that.

Answer 3

Ahh You see.You said "this natural state of humans would seem to be essential to the process"

It Only "Seems" that way to you.
Jesus was not just a Man. But God Himself in the Flesh, He was Tempted in every way as we were, but (And here is the most important part)
He did not have a sin nature as we have, he did not have a "natural state" as you put it, therefore, it was not essential to the process.

Answer 4

I am sure he did. Lusting is a natural human act. Everything that live on this earth is program to mate. How can you stop whats in our nature. That's why I can't understand why some of these religions claim that you can't have sex, if you are becoming a man or woman of god.

Answer 5

His mother Mary was a virgin.He did not have the sin of Adam upon him.That's why Mary's birth was divine.It had to be in order for Jesus to be sinless.The sacrifice had to be without sin or blemish.Therefore he was the sinless,spotless lamb of God.He knew not sin.

Answer 6

Do you truly believe the bible and the report God gave of his son? I Peter 2:21 ... For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: ... 22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ... 23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Answer 7

NO. Jesus lived a sinless life and a holy life. That's why we can be saved because we needed some one that never sinned and that was Jesus so he died on the cross for us.

Answer 8

Jesus was and is PERFECTLY HOLY!!! PERIOD!!! That means NO thoughts of anything imperfect, like LUST. Can He who is sinful,(lust) condemn thoughs who SIN through their lusting?! Jesus is the JUDGE of us ALL!
Because HE is SINLESS, not full lust and all manner of SINS like WE mortals here on this forum!!!

Answer 9

Jesus never sinned.

Answer 10

Yes i am sure he did, he was human. I always find it funny when people say no like as though they knew him or were there.
