The deity of Christ Jesus
Talk about God's characteristics and man's characteristics. How are they different if at all?
Did you inherit a sinful nature from your father? Are we all sinners in Adam? Is Adam's sin is imputed onto us? Could you have done better in the garden of Eden with a sin nature than Adam did without a sin nature? McGee.

No one has argued whether or not Jesus could have sinned? He's God. He could do
anything. Would he have sinned? No. Why? Because he is God (Jn 1:1) and he is
holy (1 Sa 2:2, Heb 4:15, Ro 1:23). He is committed to righteousness (Re 15:3).
Your Martin Scorsese Jesus
never existed.
The minimum requirement to enter heaven is Christ’s holiness (Le 11:45; 20:7;
Eph 5:8; Col 3:12; Ro 12:1). His character is our standard (Ro 8:29; 1 Jn 2:6;
Php 2:5). Your gospel does not include Christ’s holiness (Isa 35:8). We become
holy by being united with him (Jn 15:4,5; 17:9). We are wicked without him (1 Ti
1:9; 2 Ti 3:2). We have access to God by his perfect (Eph 5:2) sacrifice (Heb
10:19,20). Trust this (Ro 3:25; Ga 3:13,14)
or perish.

"Jesus is absolutely sinless, perfect, holy. He never sinned, never will sin..."
SD: “ Could he [jesus] have sinned?
Godrulz: “I believe He could have, but did not…”

"...Our positions have the same bottom line, but differ in theory..."
Intensional
"...The Bible and myself emphasize the volitional nature of sin...Sin is not a substance."

2 Corinthians 5:21 by John MacArthur] "The Bible makes it clear, first of
all, that all people are sinners by nature and by action. In fact, all people
are sinners from birth. And thus all people are born alienated from God who is
holy, cannot look upon sin, cannot fellowship with sinners. That alienation
because of sin prevents us from knowing God. He is too perfectly holy to have
anything to do with sinners, except to reject them.
Now the result of that rejection, the result of that alienation in time is
Godlessness. The result of it in eternity is hell. So this alienation in to
which every human being is born is indeed a serious issue. It means that
everybody lives their life without God and if they die in that condition, will
spend their eternity without God in torment..." Full text:

"...while SD falls for Thomistic 'being' concepts (Augustine, etc.)..."
I reject Augustine, Aquinas, etc.
"...SD believes in a false Jesus because she takes away genuine human will (image of God)..."
Proof please (Heb 4:15).
"...[M]y argument would be specious like hers against my view of impeccability."
Strawman
"...It is a misunderstanding/misrepresentation of my view that is the problem. She should be trying to refute this, not lame straw man arguments."
You're projecting again (Eph
4:14).
What defiles us comes out of our own heart (Mt 15:18). Discuss the holiness of
the second person of the trinity? What can Jesus do for men?
