He was subject to temptation as we are. And everyone is tempted by having desires of the flesh which is also referred to as lust of the flesh. And when that lust has conceived it brings forth sin.
I believe Jesus was given a limitless measure of God's spirit. "The spirit of Yahweh is upon me"...
Let's say God has the power to raise the dead. If those who are to be raised from the dead is based on judgment, and God commits all judgement to the son, then the power to raise the dead is based on the judgment of the son and therefore the son raises whosoever he wills. It doesn't get any...
Here's a quote from the JW's site:
"But who said that Jesus was making himself equal to God? Not Jesus. He defended himself against this false charge in the very next verse (Joh 5:19): “To this accusation Jesus replied: . . . ‘the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees the...
Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but...
Satan had said, "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

Jesus was of the same nature as the rest of man. And...

And secondly, I do not believe Jesus is Michael the archangel.
I believe Jesus came into existence by being born of a woman. And he was of the same nature as all the...
The name above all names is the name of the one true God, Yahweh. Jesus carries that name as he said, " I have come in the name of my Father". To come in the name of the Father, Yahweh, is to represent Yahweh.
Yahweh was speaking for Jesus when He said every knee will bow to me.
There is a very simple formula to go from a vessel of wrath to a vessel of honor. Believe the gospel; be baptized into and put on Christ like a garment; and render the obedience of faith. That's it.

I would say God is definitely the potter. He has made all things. And with a rod of iron He will strike the vessels of His wrath and dash them to pieces.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount...
