Even if a Christ had existed, how would YOU, David Murray, have the slightest clue as to what went on inside his “perfect” mind?

I yearn for a day when superstitious beliefs in gods arrives, and reason prevails.

I was trying to explain that Jesus suffered far greater temptations than our temptations with indwelling sin, and because of the greater test can sympathize with lesser tests (not to say these are little tests)

This does not seem to reflect the NT’s representation of the Christian’s life in the Spirit. But perhaps I’ve just always misunderstood this idea.

That’s what John Piper was driving at, and it’s what often keeps people in bondage to things like sexual orientation. Any thoughts on that issue?
