For one thing, He had perfect faith. We are told over and over about our lack of faith.

And I did not say He was 100% "like" us.

Hi micah7:9,


--- Quote ---That is the point, is it not, "the Spirit of His Father was with Him continually in His heart." So then Jesus was alive in His Kingdom, but dead, in His human walk. I do not understand the discomfort. If we are dead or dying from the fault of man in Gen. 3:6, then Jesus when he assumed this earthly body(flesh/dust), must have come to death.

No, Jesus Christ was the only human being that ever lived who was not 'dead' in the flesh, because He was not carnal.

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

All mankind that has ever lived are spiritually dead because of the sinful carnal flesh, accept One and only One, Jesus Christ, who never sinned.

Eph 2:1  And He has made you alive, who were once dead in trespasses and sins,
v. 2  in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience;
v. 3  among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
v. 4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us
v. 5  (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),
v. 6  and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
v. 7  so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

It is for the very reason that Christ was sinless/perfect/ that He could become our sacrifice/offering and through His physical death (He was never spiritually dead) that we could be reconciled.

2Co 5:21 For the One not knowing sin, He makes to be a sin offering for our sakes that we may be becoming God's righteousness in Him.

Col 1:19  For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
v. 20  and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
v. 21  And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
v. 22  He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before Him,

mercy, peace and love
