Every Christian will tell you they will sin in the future, and there is nothing they can do about it. So how could Jesus have never sinned? He was definitely a mortal man.

because He kept Himself in constint relationship with his father . because you do not believe you proable will not understand this answer. but the closer I walk with Christ , the less likely i am to sin.Due to the fact that sin can not stand His holiness.. ever notice in the bible that any one that had a demon they fell before Jesus and asked Him not to have any thing to do with them? to move away from Him sin is more and more of my life. Jesus never moved away from God matter fact He left the crowds to be alone with God. so a closiness to God is a secert of not sinning. also for your other questions once he touched the dead girl and lepers they were healed, so was that a sin to make people well? it also shows that one touch by Jesus can change your life.

The bible says there is only one unforgiveable sin.  Blasphemy of the holy spirit....which is the utter rejection of God and His son.  If a person was a believer in Christ as his savior, his salvation was not negated that day if he chose to jump out the hundreth floor of the world trade center, rather than wait to be burned to death.  My heart still goes out to those people, thinking about them.\n\nHow you die does not determine your eternal fate.  Who you say Jesus is, determines your eternal fate.

No he lived a sin free life to show us it could be done.  He died on the cross for our sins.  God Bless!!

If he didn't love sinners, why did he send Jesus to die for are sins?  For God so loved the world, ta ht he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:16,17\n\nWe are all sinners, saved by grace

We are still sinning because we are human.  Jesus' death (and resurrection) is still important to Christians because that is how their imperfections can be clean, and we can become spritually worthy to be with God.\n\nRemember, these are things of faith, not reason.  It is not ours to know, but only to believe.  A question for your friend may be - we are sinners, but how can we redeem ourselves before God?  As a Christian, we can accept Christ.  I wonder what your friend believes?\n\nIt may not be yours to convince her that she's wrong (and some people think that's roude, anyways!  But you can show her what you believe, and she can show what she believes.  Then go have a sandwich.

Nobody is willing to die horrible, painful deaths like the disciples did for a lie.  The only reason for lying about it would have been to get rich, which they didn't, to get famous, which they didn't until after they were dead anyway, because we humans are pretty selfish.  Since they didn't actually get anything out of the resurrection story except a lot of pain, torture and death, there would have been no point at all in lying about it, hence it wasn't a lie.

Jesus mentions a sin that is unforgivable in Matt. 12:31-32 and calls it blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.\n\nNo. A believer cannot commit the unforgivable sin. How can someone who has been born again (John 3:7), made a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17), and received eternal life (John 10:27-28) actually commit the unforgivable sin? He cannot. Jesus Himself said that we have eternal life, not conditional life: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand." Besides, it says in 2 Cor. 5:17 that the Christian is a new creation in Christ. We are different, no longer slaves to the old nature (Rom. 6:14). We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.\n     There is no biblical support for a believer committing this sin. It just hasn’t happened. Also, if you are worried that you may have committed the sin and can’t be forgiven, then don’t be concerned. If you are worrying about it, then you haven’t committed it. If you are worried about it, then that is a sign that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn’t be concerned.

That is a foundational belief of Christianity.  So Jesus wouldn't have died on the cross for our sins.  Then there would have been no resurrection from the dead.\n\nSo, the whole thing would have been vanity.\n\nThe old testament law applied to the covenant between God and Israel.  The new testament Grace & Truth opened up salvation to all nations & peoples who call on His name.\n\nSo we would be in the nations not restored unto God, like before Christ.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

All true Christians know this there are sects which call themselves Christian that do not believe this.According to Christian doctrine Christ would have to be God. Our salvation dep0end upon it as Christ was sacrificed for our sins. It is a Christian belief that no man could overcome sin because man is falible and that the wages of sin is death. Therefore no created being was perfect there was no one who couold save us from our sin. God who loved us so much even in our sin. Had mercy upon mankind and came down to us to be tempted by the devil to overcome all the temptations of mankind as a man and to be sacrificed to pay the penalty for all who accept him.

hmm... this was years before Christ.. how could you blame Christianity? Ever hear of Sodom and Gomorah? The flood?these are old testament judgements against the world. The wages of sin is death. But through the sacrifice of Christ all men who accept him can have eternal life.Some things in the bible have spiritual meanings and call for greater understanding than many here are ready for.and some things can be taken out of context. Read the bible pray about it have faith in Jesus and God will show you many things. The simple Gospel is clear and it really is all anyone would need to know to be saved John 3:16. its a great place to start.... take your first steps first...your wanting great bible understanding before you have the basics.

What does one question have to do with the other?  Jesus laid down His life willing for our sins.  The mortal body of Jesus did die on the cross, yet the Spirit of the one true God was never corrupted or died.  Check the book of John.

First of all, you do not have and immortal soul, if you did, then why had no one gone to Heaven before Jesus came to the Earth, 4000 years had came & gone since Adam & Eve, millions of people had died, what did Jesus say to a man of the Pharisees, Nic·o·de'mus was his name, a ruler of the Jews.\n\nJohn 3:13\nMoreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.  1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.  John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?—  And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?   Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7,  Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection. You enjoy the best sleep ever, until Jesus resurrects you, sometime in the future.

Nice contradiction . . . .\n\nJesus supposedly died without sin . . . yet some of the things he has done . . . would make a man unclean . . . don't know if it is sinful . . . .\n\nDoesn't make a different . . . because I don't believe Jesus was perfect or he was god's son . . . I do believe that he was a man . . . and a martyr

Jesus was telling his people that he was teaching the true spiritual way to God.\nAnd also saying that the religion had been corrupt, listen to what he teaches and follow his example in life.\nNot to think he was a GOD!! That would be a sin.\nNot sure if anyone remembers but he was on a quest to go back and follow the old ways.\nHe was trying to teach people the old ways, and you all screwed it up!

According to Christians, God is all-knowing - he knows all the past, all the present and all the future. If this is so, then God must know everything we do long before we do it. This means that our whole life must be predetermined and that we act not according to the free exercise of our wills but according to our predetermined natures. If we are predetermined to be good we will be good and if we are predetermined to be evil we will be evil. We will act not according to our will or choice but according to the way God has already foreseen we will act. Although Christians will insist that we do have free will, God's omniscience simply makes this logically impossible. And that people will act only as God determines is verified in the Bible \n\nIf people are evil it is because God has chosen to make them evil (Rom 1:24-28) and caused them to disobey him (Rom 11:32). If they do not understand God's message it is because he has made their minds dull (Rom 11:8) and caused them to be stubborn (Rom 9:18). God prevents the Gospel from being preached in certain areas (Act 16:6-7) and he fixes long before it will happen when a person will be born and when he or she will die (Act 17:26). Those who were going to be saved were chosen by God before the beginning of time (ii Tim 1:9 Eph 1:11). If a person has faith and is thereby saved, their faith comes from God, not from any effort on their part (Eph 2:9-10). One may ask "If a person can only do what God predetermines them to do, how can God hold them responsible for their actions?"

By definition, not mystery, the everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: "For I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6). Did Jesus' flesh dwell in safety after his death? 1 Peter 3:18 states Jesus was "put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:44-45 claims Jesus was "raised a spiritual body," that is, he "became a life-giving spirit." No mention of the survival of the flesh is alluded to. In Acts 2:31, it is claimed Peter stated that following the alleged resurrection Jesus' body did not see decay. Paul is alleged to have also made this claim (Acts 13:34-37). However, unless Jesus' body never underwent "decay" during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did not undergo "decay" then he was not truly human.\n\n\nQuestion: If Jesus was God as well as man how could Satan expect to tempt him?\n  \nAnswer: Mark simply states that Jesus was tempted by Satan (1:13) but Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13) elaborate the story. It is claimed that during Jesus' alleged forty days' sojourn in the desert, following his baptism by John, Satan tempted him with promises of an earthly kingdom if Jesus would only worship him.\n\nIf Jesus is part of God, how could he possibly sin, and how could Satan possibly hope to tempt him? Satan's words would be absolutely meaningless. Surely, even the earthly Jesus was incapable of committing as sinful an act as the worshipping of Satan. Indeed, unlike a mere mortal, it was decreed that the Gospels' Jesus follow exactly the life outlined for his earthly existence by the very godhead of which he was an integral part.\n\nIn assuming a human body, the Jesus of Christian theology knew what God's purpose for the future of mankind was and what was expected of him in order to bring this about. Did Jesus, the perfect god-man, have free will to sin while on earth? Obviously not! Had he failed to carry out God's plan, the entire timetable would have been eternally disrupted. Lacking free will to do as he pleased, Jesus could not truly have been tempted.\n\nNeither could Satan, as one of God's creations, promise Jesus, who was already divine and in control of the universe, a mere kingdom as a reward for worshipping him. As puffed up with pride as one might envision Satan to be, he is certainly not stupid. In the Gospel narrative Satan knew Jesus was not a mere human, given to flattery and subject to the temptations of the flesh. Jesus was not one who would accept worthless promises.\n\nEven if we suppose that Satan did make Jesus the most extravagant of offers, as reported by the New Testament, it would not in the least have been a temptation to the divine Jesus of Christianity. In view of the claim by Christian theology that Jesus was offered an earthly kingdom by God: "Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession" (Psalms 2:8), can anyone believe that a member of the Trinity would have difficulty in choosing between the two opposing offers? Certainly Satan would not have wasted his time on such a futile endeavor. It is obvious that the account of Satan's attempt to tempt Jesus cannot be reconciled with the overall view of Jesus as held by Christians.\n\nOf Jesus it is said: "For because he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18). But if Jesus was God as well as man at the time of his temptation by Satan, how is this verse, and indeed the entire temptation episode, to be reconciled with the belief expressed by the author of James? He states: "Let no one say when he is tempted: 'I am being tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone" (James 1:13). If according to James "God cannot be tempted by evil," then the J
