Question about sin and Jesus.

<< < (6/8) > >>

Joel:
That is really interesting that Jesus didn't fall under the weight of the cross.
I saw a program where they did a test, and had an athletic type guy carry a typical cross.
He had to have a lot of help just to shoulder it, and was pooped at about 70 yards.
Their conclusion was, those going to be crucified, only carried the horizontal section.
Good food for thought.

Jesus never fell because to fall is to miss the mark (sin) but He did carry His cross not a physical hunk of wood draped over His shoulder but a much greater cross  (Spiritual) knowing that He would give His life so that all of humanity will be saved. He carried that cross all of His days on earth.

1John1:20 (GNB) He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your (our) sake.

Luke 22:41 (GNB) Then He went off from them about the distance of a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed 42) Father He said if you will take this cup of suffering away from me. Not My will, however but your will be done 43) An angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him 44) in great anguish He prayed even more fervently; His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Jesus lived minute by minute moment by moment doing His Father's will.

I looked in the Douay version, the translation of Catholicism. The falls are not in the 4 gospels. And heaven forbid I should say to Arcturus, there were only 3 falls ever attributed to Jesus on the way to Golgatha in Catholicism. These must have been assumed with Veronica, Simon and the wailing women. The 14 stations of the cross are familiar to me having meditated on the Passion with the visual aids of the stations many times.
This is difficult for me but I cannot deny the fact that the falls are not mentioned. WOW!

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on March 30, 2010, 01:34:25 PM ---It is incorrect to say that Jesus did not fall down.  We just do not know.  There are two possibilities.

1)  Jesus did not fall down.

2)  Jesus did fall down, but that fact was not mentioned in the four gospel accounts.

If he did fall down, that was not a sin.  Jesus did not sin.  Sin, what defiles a man, comes out of ones heart: murder, hatred, lust, idolatry etc.

It would be understandable if he did fall down.  He had been beaten to within an inch of His life by Roman thug soldiers.  It doesn't appear he got any sleep the night before.  In the face of all this, He stood tall; He did not sin; He did not deny His God.  I am proud to call Him Lord and Boss.
