What makes Jesus so good?

Question

Christians say we sin because of the sinful nature we have inherited from Adam... All of us are born with this alleged sinful nature.
Jesus, on the other hand, did not inherit it because of his special birth...

Now this makes any pious man better than Jesus... at least he has to fight his sinful nature all the time. Jesus had no reason to sin.

Answer 1

I thought Jesus said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." Mark 10:18

Answer 2

Who defines sin anyway???? The church of cause...because in fear there is power.....the church has power over its people if they are in fear that they are being sinful....if you trace what Jesus said....he never once once said that people are sinfull be never even refered to sin that was added to the bible 600 years ago by the Christian church because there where loosing power and where greedy and needed to get there power back.

Please remember that most of the bible is based on Myths not facts...for example...if Jesus acended into heaven...where was he going??? to some forign galaxy??? even if he was traveling twice the speed of light he would still be the milky way....Myths like this would have been believable back when people did not know what was out there but how people should wake up and realise they are believing in such bargage....there are many great things in the bible but if people are going to take them literally then we're doomed....its whats happening with the muslim religions as well they are taking the book literally instead of symbolically ...... and thats when problem arise. No disrespect intended.

In your unique presentation, what you have said 'sounds' so true - but there is one point that I think you might be missing here. Jesus was God in the flesh, but in order for the sin nature of man to be rectified and put to rest once and for all, a man had to be born (not out of sin) and had to be pure and blameless. The order of things - the way God set it up - was not something that he could go back and change - so Jesus had to be born into the world - he just couldn't be born of through the physical conception that we know of. However - he was still A MAN. He had to 'see' just how man had to live - feel and experience the same things we have to - he was just as subjected to satans' power as we are - the thing is - he had to SHOW US that even though satan is here on the earth - IF I CAN REBUKE HIM AND TURN HIM AWAY BY GIVING HIM WHAT THUS SAID THE LORD GOD, then you can too. His whole point was to FULFILL the law that God had given - no man could do that in himself - it took showing us LOVE FIRST before that law could be fufilled. You know, if you think about all the commandments - Jesus' ONLY commandment to us (the new Christians and Believers) was TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. And if we learn to do that - then the '10 (for the Jews) will fall in line - we will not WANT to covet and steal or kill, etc. because the LOVE nature that is reborn in us through the love of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice will cover all. And his blood that he shed for us will be a constant reminder that we are no longer the sin natured man, we have been born again into a new life and the inner man in us - the spirit man is the one who is in contact with the Holy Spirit and is our teacher and guide if we listen to him.

Jesus didn't have a reason to sin - but because e was human - he could have - remember his fight in the garden when he prayed to his father - to 'take this cup from me' - he didn't want to die - that was his humaness coming out - but he knew that was what he was sent for - and he ended the prayer with - but not MY WILL, BUT THY WILL be done - and it was in that strength that he was able to fulfill the promise of his coming - Even God had to turn away from his son when the evils of the world all came together at the cross. God cannot look upon sin.....It's a very, very deep and meaningful topic- and it makes Jesus good and very good and good - ALL THE TIME. God bless you.

Answer 4

my teacher said that no one could enter heaven aside God if they had sinned until a human such as Jesus died and went up there because Jesus was the only human to never sinned..or so he says that is the reason

Answer 5

If you like, I will tell you about Jesus the son of Mary ('a). He used a stone as his pillow, wore coarse clothing and ate rough food. His stew was hunger and his lamp in the night was the moon. His shade in the winter was the east of the earth and its west. His fruit and his basil were what grows from the earth for the cattle. He had no wife to try him, and no son to grieve him. He had no wealth to distract him, nor greed to abase him. He had no mount to ride but his feet, and none were his servants but his own two hands.

Answer 6

You're treating sin like some sort of venerial disease you catch from your mother.

Wrong approach!!

It is about the way that our minds work.

God incarate wouldn't have any of the problems that we have.

It is important to realise that we are theoretically all capable of living perfect lives... we always have the choice to sin or not - we all just choose to sin. Jesus chose not to.

Answer 7

You answered your own question, why are you still asking it?

Answer 8

Answer 9
