]]> Comment on Lord, I am Tempted by Tom Robinson http://revtdg.wordpress.com/2007/02/25/lord-i-am-tempted/#comment-16 Tom Robinson Mon, 26 Mar 2007 12:51:21 +0000 http://revtdg.wordpress.com/2007/02/25/lord-i-am-tempted/#comment-16 Hi Pastor, Just wondering if one can compare Jesus' temptation to ours... I mean, Jesus could never have sinned, since He didn't have a 'sin nature' but more importantly He was God, and God CANNOT sin. Therefore, is it possible that He could know what it is like to battle against temptation or even to resist it? With love, Tom Hi Pastor,
Just wondering if one can compare Jesus’ temptation to ours… I mean, Jesus could never have sinned, since He didn’t have a ’sin nature’ but more importantly He was God, and God CANNOT sin.

Therefore, is it possible that He could know what it is like to battle against temptation or even to resist it?

With love,

Jesus said in John 6:63, "The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." May I suggest that his disciples did not leave after he spoke of feeding on his body (Verses 53-58) it was after he spoke about the spiritual truth (Verse 63). They didn't have a problem with the physical. They had a problem with the spiritual truth. I have several of questions. What spiritual meaning were you trying to expressing (I may be one of those who don't understand)? Since the words Jesus spoke in John 6:22-71 were spirit in what verse do we see or hear that spiritual truth? What spiritual food satisfies our spiritual hunger?

]]> Comment on Spellbinding Seromns by Rev. Terry Goodman http://revtdg.wordpress.com/2005/11/18/spellbinding-seromns/#comment-9 Rev. Terry Goodman Sun, 11 Jun 2006 12:21:39 +0000 http://revtdg.wordpress.com/2005/11/18/spellbinding-seromns/#comment-9 I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to respond. I just found you comment waiting to be posted. I am also sorry about your grandmother's death. As for your question about about an alternate chance for salvation, I am afraid that the Scriptures make it clear that a person must accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior prior to his or her death. We are not given a second chance at salvation. Your prayers for your grandmother, therefore, will be contrary to God's plan, and, unfortunately, will not be answered.
