So one of the claimed new teachings of jesus is that the mere thought of a bad deed is sin in itself if i am not mistaken.
"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Now jesus has experienced temptation, this point is used in explaining how jesus can understand us better.
My problem is how can jesus go through temptation without having desire (intent).
For temptation to exist, one must have even little bit of desire that he is trying to resist, else it is not temptation?
Thus jesus as one who went through temptations, experienced it, had to desire it a bit so he can resist and experience temptation.
But then it means jesus sinned?
In general I see no problem in jesus sinning, as later he emptied himself and became fully holy, I see it as being cleansed from all sins. Thus he becomes the spotless lamb. Still, many Christians try to defend the point that jesus never sinned, no even as a 14 years old healthy sexually teenager etc.... So did he experience human life or not??
Feel free to just say whatever comes to mind... god bless.
