Did Jesus sin?

Question

According to the laws passed to mankind as recorded in the Bible, did Jesus ever break any of those laws? This refers to *all* laws passed by the god of the Old Testament, not just the well known "10 commandments".

Note that I am not asking if the Bible is true, only if the being recorded in the book as Jesus, broke any of the laws passed by the being known as Yahweh.

If your answer is yes, please provide Biblical references.

Answer 1

No. He was sinless. He had to be unblemished to be the perfect sacrifice.

Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin."

Hebrews 9:14 "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

1 Peter 1:18-19 "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."

1 Peter 2:22 "He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth."

1 John 3:5 "You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin."

Notice in Hebrews 4:15 he was tempted. He was capable of sinning but he didn't.

This one guy says Jesus DID sin. You can see his answer (DUH2) here on my question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtRiiI8lhzJ9FIRmsSIYGaLty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071228104130AAyHelf

Answer 2

Although Jesus is fully human, He was not born with the same sinful nature that we are born with. He certainly was tempted in the same way we are, in that temptations were put before Him by Satan, yet remained sinless because God is incapable of sinning. It is against His very nature (Matthew 4:1; Hebrews 2:18, 4:15; James 1:13). Sin is by definition a trespass of the Law. God created the Law, and the Law is by nature what God would or would not do; therefore, sin is anything that God would not do by His very nature.

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly how to define your question. There was one instance where he was criticized for breaking the law of the Sabbath, I don't remember where, sorry, but is that what you mean by breaking any laws passed by the god of the Jews?

Answer 4

No, Jesus did not sin. The Bible is clear on that!

Answer 5

Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold,...but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. —1 Peter 1:18a, 19

Answer 6

No he didn't.

He applied the law in the light of grace, mercy and compassion rather than blindly obeying it as a slave would.

Answer 7

Yes he broke one of the laws, the sabath however it was not sin because he elaborated on the law saying good deeds can be done on the sabath not all things done on the sabath are sin. I am not a biblical scolar of cource this is just my humble opinion

Peace be with you.

NO!
Jesus commited no sin. He was literally God in human flesh to prove to us that we can be perfect. And he even died for us, and you have the nerve to say that?

Answer 10

As a God he never sins.... but in human body He was tempted many times... but even as human He never sins.

And thats the way that He saves us with his blood.
