the early days of Jesus. ---Scanty information. ---Nazareth was very bad. ---No room to sleep when he was born in
Bethlehem. ---Poor because His mother could only pay
with pigeons for the sacrifice when He was brought unto the Lord [meaning His
Father, because Jesus was also Lord and so is the Holy Spirit]. ---Trinity. Yet mystery since Deuteronomy
6:1 says that God is one. ---All thinking stop at these two
realities fusing. Human maths fails. ---Christ resisted any sin because
although He was in all respects just like we are, yet He did no sin (Hebrews
4:15). ---He had to resist sin, shun sin, move
away from it, escape from it, all the time tempted. Yet sinless. ---Capable of shunning sin Christ
demonstrated that man can also be without sin should he have chosen to follow
the Law of God. ---Perfect obedience to the Law of God was
possible to be rendered by man with enabling Grace of the indwelling Spirit of
God. ---If one mentions this to Calvinism, they
will get a heart attack. ---Making much room for Augustine’s
Original Sin from Adam with which all babies are born, born fallen, they want
to say humans need a Savior so Christ did not have original sin whereas all of
us do. ---In sin my mother conceived me, says the
Psalmist in Psalm 51. “With original sin my mother conceived me” says
Augustine. “With sin surrounding me and tempting me since my mother conceived
me, but born innocently” says my father to me as a child reading this same
verse. ---All have sinned and come short of the
glory of God. Yes, it does not read “Adam have sinned and all come short of the
glory of God”. It reads all have sinned. Can babies sin? Augustine says yes. We
say no. ---Ellen White is clear that Christ was
also our Example of One who lived sinless showing that humans could or can be
sinless and following the Law of God in obedience fully. ---Only with enabling Grace of the
indwelling Spirit of God in a renewed heart.
