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?

Actually I don't believe in free will, in that I don't think we could have chosen to do other than what we did choose. But I figure if anyone could be said to have free will, Jesus presumably does. My question is really how does that match with him having to fulfil Scripture. Is there a possible world where Jesus said "I'm not doing this", summoned a host of angels and legged it? And if so does that make Scripture fallible? And what of Jesus' own predictions? If Peter had free will, could he have not denied Jesus 3 times, rendering Jesus' prophecy wrong?
