jt: Moot point, because there was nothing in him that opposed the Father. He and the Father were and are always ONE. Or don't you believe what he says either? DM: Excellent point, Bill. Was Christ himself defiled for stepping into this Temple? No. He cleaned it up. Many rejected Jesus because he let prostitutes touch him. They thought he could not let that happen and still be holy. Well, holiness is not defined by the outward man, but by the inward man. jt: Yes the issue is the heart David but there is no record that Jesus ever had a defiled heart. We have the scripture in John Chapter 2 where he would not commit himself to men because He knew what was in man... and then when the prince of this world came in John 14 - he had nothing in Jesus... although he has plenty in the rest of us. I'd like someone to find me one scripture that has Jesus speaking, thinking, or doing anything unholy at all. Your theories are all pure speculation. You can not validate any of them by scripture. judyt ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
