Theology 201 Guidelines

This is the forum to discuss the spectrum of views within Christianity on God's foreknowledge and election such as Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism, Open Theism, Process Theism, Restrictivism, and Inclusivism, Christian Universalism and what these all are about anyway. Who is saved and when is/was their salvation certain? How does God exercise His sovereignty and how powerful is He? Is God timeless and immutable? Does a triune God help better understand God's love for mankind?

While this area is for the discussion of these doctrines within historic Christianity, all theists interested in discussing these areas within the presuppositions of and respect for the Christian framework are welcome to participate here. This is not the area for debate between nontheists and theists, additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream evangelical doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101 Nontheists seeking only theistic participation only in a manner that does not seek to undermine the faith of others are also welcome - but we ask that Moderator approval be obtained beforehand.

Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 or General Theistics 101 forum without such restrictions. Theists who wish to discuss these issues outside the parameters of orthodox Christian doctrine are invited to Unorthodox Theology 201.

Remember, our forum rules apply here as well. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    Did Jesus have sexual desires?

    Just out of curiosity, did Jesus have sexual desires? If He had sexual desires, how were they manifested? He didn't get married. He never had sex. He never had any lustful thoughts. He never had the desire to fornicate.

    Sexual desire is not a sin. Having a thought is not a sin. Dwelling on desires, especially toward someone to whom one is not married, quickly becomes a slippery slope.

    Scripture Verse: James 1:12-15 NKJV

    12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

    If Jesus became like us in all things save sin, then he very likely had sexual desires. He just didn't dwell on or act on them.

      Hebrews 4:15
      For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

        It might come as a shock, but he got hungry, thirsty, tired.... I'm betting he even sweat and "had to go bathroom".
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          That's a big argument of Jewish anti-missionaries.

                  They believe that anyone even remotely human can't possibly be God. from a very strict monotheism this makes sense. The Trinity is a bit more complicated than that.

                    Before I even opened the thread I was ready to post Hebrews 4:15. But you did it for me. Thanks.

                            Do you believe Jesus Christ created and sustains everyone that exists? Would you have sexual desire towards someone you created and sustained?

                              What in the world does that have to do with the title question

                              "Fire is catching. If we burn, you burn with us!"
                              "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay here and cause all kinds of trouble."

                              Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.
