Jesus was tempted

[amigo de christo]

This is MatthiasG's thread, I'm surprised he has come down with the hammer of the off topic discussion here

Verily i say unto thee , IT BE LORD PRAISING TIME in the building my friend .
Unload and unleash the praises with much thanksgiving unto the Glorious Lord .
And to the trenches for the hour is late my friend .

Be ready and be watching . Stay in prayer , in the reading of scriptures to be refreshed
and be hearers and doers of the Word .
Put the trumpet to the lips , JUDGMENT COMETH and the delusion will take all not in the lambs book of life .
And many will betray many and true saints will be persecuted even in the western socities .

Regulators for the true faith , MOUNT UP . Time to point to Christ to the last breath my friends .

No distinct wills, since their wills function on an infinite, divine scale.

Do you understand why there was a clash of wills on that occasion?

What was the “cup” that Jesus was wanting to avoid?
Was it the sacrificing of his life? NO!
Was it the manner of his death? NO!
Was it the crime he was being charged with? YES!
Dying as a blasphemer against his Father was unthinkable for him.

If you knew that, you would understand why Jesus acquiesced to the will of his Father…if God permitted it, Jesus was willing to put his own misgivings aside, and obey something that was very difficult for him…even more difficult that the torture and death he was about to undergo. That is how loyal Jesus was to his Father and his wanting never to bring reproach on his name.
