What did Yeshua do?

[psalms 91]

Yes, Speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ the holy scriptures say "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to have compassion on our infirmities, but rather one who was tempted in all things, just as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15 )

In other words He did not sin not that He couldnt which would not be as a man since man can and does sin

Saying that the Lord did not sin is not the same thing as saying that the Lord could sin.

Your right, if He laid aside His divinity to walk as a man then yes He could sin, He didnt and showed man what is possible

The holy scriptures do not say that the Lord Jesus Christ "laid aside his divinity" - that would be impossible. The holy scriptures say only that "[Jesus], though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man." [Philippians 2:6-7]

Pretty much the same thing unless you really twist the scripture, accepting the state of man says it all

Why do you say that the Lord's act of self humbling is the same as laying aside his divinity?

 

[psalms 91]

What is the state of man? Did He accept it? The scripture says so

 

[visionary]

Here is the bottom line.... Yeshua would have accomplished nothing if He had sinned. Of all the things He did, living without sin was pivotal for without it, His death, resurrection [which I do not think God would have resurrected if the flesh sinned], would mean nothing.

He humbled himself taking on the form of a servant - the Word became flesh. These words do not suggest any diminishment of God in the incarnation. Instead they suggest an ennobling of humanity because God became one of us.

 

[psalms 91]

exactly He became and showed us what man can do, not what God could do

Holy scripture says that the Lord was tempted in every way like we are yet without sin. No explanation if given to indicate that he did (or did not) have the same reactions as any man (or woman) may have. Satan tried the It isn't fair thing when he tempted Job and Satan failed then so I do not think a repeat performance was needed, do you?

It is very clear that he didn't act like any other man. He was pure, without sin.

There are only a couple of instances in scripture that note a man as upright, and only one of man being pure and sinless that I can think of.

God became flesh, he took the nature of man and remained God. This is fact and mystery.

The Lord did not show the faithful what man can do the Lord did what needed to be done so that human beings could be saved.

Only one who is explicitly said to be "without sin" - that one being Jesus Christ the Lord - yet there are several who are called righteous. Job is one, Enoch is another, Abraham is called upright. It is interesting that Job is called perfect by God and the holy scriptures testify of Enoch that he pleased God. What these things mean takes some digging to discover.

Nothing shall prove to be impossible with God say the holy scriptures yet that God would sin is impossible because how can the good God love evil and act as its servant?

Digging shows that it was effectual faith that set them apart.

Uhm.... That's what I said. Effectual Faith, faith, is only that sort which produces pleasing works, not for reward, GOD forbid.

Peace

Living by faith is a walk that can only be done in His Presence, which you will find in the Most Holy Place. So come boldly to the Throne of Grace and live in His Presence in perfect obedience to His Will.
