Me:

I am in no way displeased or frustrated with you.  I thought that by adding
the (smiley) :-) in my post to you that I would convey that.  The mistakes
that I was talking about were the misrepresentations you made about what I
had said.

Bro Allen:

>1) Christ was tempted in all, whether he sinned or not doesn't matter.
 > We have the same power, just as Jesus, not to sin.  Our sin nature 
>DOES keep us from being perfect many times, but Christ's humanity did

>*REAL* experience of being born of a woman...another mistake (see 
>Luke 1:35)

>2) Jesus did bear the burden of sin...far above anything you think 
>YOU'VE gone through.  Jesus did, by his own standards, committ the

>of such a sin...so much that even the Spirit within Him (the Father) 
>left.  You will never feel this pain.

Me:

The only thing that I would ask of you is to clarify for me your statements
about, Man and Christ and Man's power being the same not to sin (second
sentence of #1).  And your point in #2 while good, and valid in as much as
it states, is flawed only by the fact that you attributed something to
someone that was never there.  I stated that God up until his incarnation as
Jesus Christ lacked a *REAL* experience that would allow him to fulfill the
first part of Heb. 4:15.

Yours in Christ,
