If he didn't know the answer then he didn't know God's will which I'm sure we both agree was impossible. And he asked 3 times for the same reason he was sweating blood: he didn't want to go to the...

If he didn't know the answer then he didn't know God's will which I'm sure we both agree was impossible. And he asked 3 times for the same reason he was sweating blood: he didn't want to go to the...
Okay okay tell me, how could he ask the Father to change his mind if he already knew what the Father's answer would be. This is a contradiction. If I sit down to take a test and I already know the...
But the point is he already knew the Father's decision which was that he go to the cross. He had to know it to remain sinless.
Jesus was not always willing to do as his Father wished and the evidence is the fact that he knew the Father's will required him to drink from that cup even while he asked to avoid it!
Remember...
No Jesus was never wrong. I was saying I pray God continues to have mercy on me when I continue to fail.
I'd say what I say now when I fail...God have mercy on me.
Let's suppose I say I will obey all of Georgia's traffic laws. Wouldn't I have to know them to obey them? Jesus had to know the Father's will at all times to obey it and remain sinless.
Jesus was prophesied to die without sin. He defined sin as disobedience to the Father's will. So in order for him to remain sinless, he had to know the Father's will at all times...or else he could...
How could he ask the Father to change his mind if he knew the Father's will all along.
But as Jesus knew God the Father's will, he knew there was no possibility of the Father changing his mind.
Since Jesus knew in Gethsemane that God the Father's will
required him to drink from the cup, then wasn't his
request to have the cup taken away from him against
God the Father's will?
Jesus could not sin because the Scriptures required him to die without spot.
'Take this cup from me...nevertheless not as I will but as you will...'
If God had taken the cup away from Jesus, that would have nullified God the Father's will. See also John 12:27. It seems...
Jesus said his meat was to do the Father's will. Yet here in Gethsemane, he says 'not my will but yours be done'. In other words, his will was different from God the Father's. And he knew it. ...
How could Jesus have been looking for an alternative when he knew there was no other way but for him to go to the cross? How do I know he knew there was no other way? His very words 'not my will...
I was thinking about something. According to Matthew 27:32, Simon of Cyrene had to carry Jesus' cross behind him. Does that mean that everyone who carried their cross the whole way was more...
1. Jesus knew he had to go to the cross [Matthew 26:39].
2. Jesus did not want to go to the cross [Matthew 26:39].
3. Jesus thus did not want God the Father’s will fulfilled.
4. Jesus in this way...
