There are
people who say that Jesus was a sinner
because he said he wasn’t good and that only God was good. Is this true?
Do the
scriptures contradict themselves, because on
one hand, we see that “in him (Jesus) is no sin” (1
John 3:5) (The
King James Bible) and indeed “who knew no sin” (2
Corinthians 5:21)
(The King James Bible).
Furthermore,
was Jesus lying when he said
17
Think not
that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17) (The King
James Bible)
The
scripture that people use to show Jesus was a
sinner is where a man came to him and called him good and Jesus said
“Why do
you call me good? There is no-one good but God.”
16
And,
behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him,
Why
callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but
if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew
19:16-17) (The King James Bible)
As
always the answer lies in WHAT DO THE SCRIPTURES SAY and NOT
WHAT DO WE
THINK THEY MEAN!
We
notice
that Jesus said that only ‘God was good’ not “God the Father”
With
this response Jesus then forces the man to say one of two things that
either “Well
Jesus that just proves you are God” or “Jesus you are not God.”
Put
it this way, Jesus knows that he is God. He is just wanting the
Jews to agree
with him.
Conclusion:
1.
Jesus was God
2.
Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly (Matthew 5:17)
(The King James Bible)
3.
Jesus was not a sinner.
