The latter, but He still could have avoided it if He had wanted to, I would say. OK so in that case I kind of err into stance 2, Jesus could do it, but to be who he really is and stay true to himself, he will not. So you two seem to broadly agree that the future was set for Jesus because despite his powers he would not want to use them. Do you think since Jesus could be said to have free will in that case as he has no control over his wants? And whether you do or don't think he has free will, do you think he merits praise for doing what he wanted to do? I am not convinced that Jesus had no control over his 'wants' (not 100% sure what that means), but rather that he stuck to his moral guns if you like. I guess we are traveling down the road of second guessing whether it was a choice or pre-ordained, at this point I think we seem to be saying that Jesus decided not to call on his powers, and as I think it was a moral choice I would give Jesus praise for sticking to his morals. |
