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. But since it was never possible for him not to stick to his morals, does he still merit praise? Also, is it impressive for someone to follow their natural inclination (in this case, to adhere to Scripture)? Why was it not possible for him to not stick to his morals?? This is the point I was making in second guessing, I think that Jesus could have walked away at any time but chose not to because of the strength of his conviction. I guess we are going down the path of free will, I presume that you believe we have free will, what makes you think that Jesus was not blessed with the same choice? |
