Have you ever heard o...I completely agree with you. Have you ever heard of J.W. "Bill" Lehman? His book Christ our Righteousness has the best explanation of this topic of any I've seen. In a nutshell, we experience more than one birth right? Our physical birth and our re-birth at conversion. At conversion our desires become one with God's desires and yet we must still fight the instincts of our natural flesh. I believe that Jesus was "born converted" as it were. His desires were one with God but He very much had the same flesh to deal with as any of us do.<br />If He didn't struggle with sin how could He have ever met Satan's accusations? Satan would have been all over Him saying, "How on EARTH do you expect these sinful people to overcome and live spotless lives if you yourself can't even do it?? See?! God IS unfair!!"<br />But Satan can't even begin to accuse Him because He was tempted just as we are...<br />I'll stop preaching now, :-) but you're right on brother.
