well Jesus was perfect!!! He is GOD, He was tempted but did not sin!!! We humans are imperfect!! Why does this need an explination??? I mean really, if you don't believe FINE!!! But when you die and sit before the Lord for Judgment, you can't say you weren't warned!! I mean really, just ask HIM! You only have to wait for a few decades....good luck

There is no discrepancy! He was one hundred percent human and one hundred percent God. He was the only human to live without sin.
That is why is is so powerful when His Word tells us that the blood of bulls and goats couldnt do what the blood of Christ DID. It didnt just cover sins for a year, but took the penalty and power of them AWAY forever. Why? Because it was God who hung there on a Cross..identifying with fallen man and paying the penalty for the sin that separated us from Him.
Now , anyone who believes in the all sufficient blood of Christ for payment for their sins can be saved and made a part of the church, the body of Christ...a living entity with Christ as its head.

God sent forth a branch of Him, the only perfect man or sinless man. The Holy Spirit and Jesus have always been with God and part of God.

No discrepency.....Yeshua was fully human in such that he was a flesh and blood creature, and he would have needed nourishment and rest, and would have faced temptation as would any human......but he, did not give in to temptation and commit an act of sin.
Now aside from his incarnation in the flesh, he is also the eternal God.....he did have to give up his place on high so that he could be born in a barn, for the purpose of offering himself as an UNBLEMISHED lamb, whose blood was shed for the remittance of sin.......His incarnation is filled with humility, selflessness, rightousness.....and most importantly LOVE.......Love for those who do not deserve it.

A portion of God can manifest as something that is human. A perfect human. There, I did it.
Of course, many Christians claim Jesus is both "fully man" and "fully God" which is logically impossible and makes about as much sense as saying you can draw a square circle.

It merely goes to show the power of the one true God.
Put your trust and your faith in God. Rejoice in the convenant of the New Testament for forgiveness of sin and salvation of the eternal soul thru His Son, Jesus.

The fact that God is perfect and man is not perfect is the exact reason Christ came to the world.
How would you propose a righteous God handle this?
If God said it was okay for man to sin then God is not righteous.
If God overlooks man's sin...then again God is not righteous.
It was never God's plan to join his creation in unrighteousness.
It is God's plan to bring his creation to his righteousness.

Jesus is NOT God Only Human
Mark 10:18
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone.
he is telling you he is not God if he was he would have said he was good also, because they would have been talking about him
" I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I AM GOD, AND NOT MAN; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city". ( Hosea 11:9 )
God is saying he is not a man
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but
the will of Him who sent Me." [John 6:38]
----If Jesus was God he would know this----
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." [Mr 13:32]
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, but My Father only." [Mt 24:36]
STATUS
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." [Mt 7:21

1st John 3 I believe. Jesus was born of God, and anyone born of God will not sin.

Jesus said he was the Son of Man. Man said he was God.
