only God could live a perfect life

Speaking speculatively. Presumably Adam was perfect prior to the Fall, otherwise what would the term mean? Had he not chosen to sin, he would have lived a perfect life. Any human who did not inherit sin from Adam would presumably have the same free choice to sin or not, and therefore the same opportunity to live a perfect live.

Yeah but the point, Sherman, is the he DID sin, and you and I probably would have done the same thing given the choice.

Only Christ has a perfect nature (being God, Himself) that could fully fulfull and obey The Law (God’s nature, and His perfect Laws), all others were bound to fail becuase of their temptation of both the flesh and the devil. Adam certainly secumbed to temptation (afterall temptation is of the flesh, and is of human desire), but even though Christ was “tempted in all ways” He ALONE stood againt IT, so we wouldn’t have to die, and go to Hell!
