was jesus a fallible human or an infallible god?

Question

did he commit sin while on earth?

if he did, did he have to ask for forgiveness?

if he never did, than he really didn't know what it was like to be a human. he really wasn't a human. why did he pretend to be one?

you say he did not sin but he knew what it was like to be human. if all humans sin, and jesus did not, than i contend he didn't know what it was like to be human.

Answer 1

I, for one, am a Christian who agrees with you. I believe Jesus sinned like anyone else. For example, in Matthew 15:27 he calls Gentiles dogs unfit to be saved and then in Luke 10:25-37 he sets up the golden rule and defines neighbor and salvation to include Gentiles. Using only his own words here, he sinned.

Answer 2

Jesus was either the Son of God, as He said He was, or He was the greatest liar that ever walked the earth!

We sin because we cannot help but sin, it is in our nature. Jesus did not have a sin nature, because He did not have an earthly father to inherit that nature from. He was, according to the Bible, "in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15). He was exposed to the same temptations, and could have (theoretically) given in to those temptations and deliberately disobeyed (sinned against) God, but He did not, and so was "without sin".

Also, He was not pretending to be a human, He was a human, in that He took a human body, suffered human pain, hunger, and fatigue, and died a human death. But, because He had never sinned, He did not do this to pay for His own sins, but ours.

What a friend we have in Jesus, who would do that for us!

Answer 4

Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are three different aspects of one spiritual being, God. Jesus came to the earth manifested as a human. He was tempted, but he resisted. He lived without sin because he CHOSE not to sin. The world had already seen the miracles of God and knew what wonders God was capable of. Jesus came to show the world what a MAN FILLED WITH GOD is capable of. Jesus did nothing that is impossible for man to do if we CHOOSE to live sinless and allow God to consume us as Jesus did. Well, except pay the atonement for the sins of man. We don't have to do that since it's already done.

Answer 5

Jesus did not commit a sin when He was on earth. Not committing a sin is what allowed Him to die for ours because He was perfect.
Jesus did know what it was like to be human, though, because He was tempted to sin. All the everyday temptations that we face He faced while He was here on earth. He knows what it is like to be a human because He was a human for a time, but no He did not sin.

Answer 6

Jesus Christ was both. the Bible says that Jesus was sinless, therefore, no, he didn't have to ask for forgiveness. He is also God. For Jesus Christ is God in human form. He suffered, he took all of our sins upon him. Therefore, he did not have to sin in order to know what it was like to sin. Jesus also did not pretend to be a human.

Also, to the guy who said something about Jesus lying to the people: He said that those who heard His words would not perish. Much like God proclaimed the same promise in John 3:16. The people that heard His words have died, but not perished, their sould have lived on beyond their physical bodies.

Answer 7

Jesus knew the temptation to sin we go through, but yet he did not sin, there was no pretending about it he was a perfect sacrifice, he was born as any other child and went through any other circumstance any other child was faced with, and was also faced with even more challenging circumstances but yet didn sin, that don mean he wasn human tho.

Answer 8

He is God. He came down to earth. He knew exactly what it was like to be a human. The only difference was that obviously He is God, and that He did not give in to the temptation that would cause Him to sin. He was in a situation and was given every opportunity to sin, just like everyone else. The only difference was that he did not sin. So therefore, he did not have to ask for forgiveness, for he never gave into temptation, and therefore never sinned. And obviously, he did not pretend to be one. He actually did come down to earth, die, and rise again to save you and me.

Answer 9

Jesus was an infallible human and God. There is nothing God doesn't know, especially about humans, because He created us.

Answer 10

Try living your whole life as a man without sinning and at the end of your life taking the sin of the whole world upon you... now that's something that WE don't understand... I guess we're just not human. Men weren't created with sin, but we developed iniquity which allows us to justify our sin. Not sinning doesn't make you any less or more of a human being. He did not have iniquity in him, but he took the guilt of every one of your sins... now that's something.
