“So how could it be different for Christ?”
Skipped a few steps there. Figured I’d fill one in. Christ as a human incarnation of God was obeying the same rules us humans do: Have Free Will but also have a pre-ordained destiny. The two seem mutually exclusive. They are not. Again, it’s akin to wave/particle duality.
I know, kind of hard for people to wrap their heads around. Trust me, dealing with quantum mechanics can give someone a headache too. Theology can too...
“Trust me, dealing with quantum mechanics can give someone a headache too. Theology can too...”
I’m not sure about this particular discussion, but a former pastor of mine would discuss things and end the discussion with “So it is mystery.”
I like your comparison to wave/particle theory, and I’m glad you pointed out that Jesus had the same rules we have.
Hmm - going back to that pastor, he said that while we can’t get rid of original sin, it is possible and doable to not willfully sin. Christ did.
