Could Jesus have sinned? 
 
I was watching the news and they did a survey with those who "professed" to be Christian on the subject of whether or not Jesus could have sinned. I was not surprised at all when 85-90% of these "Christians" said that they "believed" that Jesus could have sinned. We have enough to learn and rejoice in that IS in the Bible without worrying about things that never happened. So we shouldn't engage in such things. It only leads to rancor and "fighting about words" which is profitable for no one. But that's the type of nonsense that's on the news for you!
 
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the Antichrist), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb [slain from the foundation of the world]. (Revelation 13:8)
 
Christians do not get through life without sinning; it's just that some of them have an incorrect impression of what sin is (as if it did not encompass all we think and everything we say as well as what we do, e.g.).  Since question this deals with hypotheticals, we shouldn't worry about it.  The plan of God is the plan of God.  What has happened, is happening, and is ordained to happen is all there is.  There is no "woulda/coulda/shoulda" in the plan of God.  If anyone is interested to know, the classic formulation on this question is in Latin where our Lord in His humanity is usually described as posse non peccare et non posse peccare: "able not to sin and not able to sin". We should to stay away from theoretical theology, as in "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" -- as if angels would or could or should do such a thing (the question is a classic example of medieval theoretical theology).  Let us rejoice in the truth that the perfect sacrifice was offered on our behalf through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 
 
God Bless!
