Message-ID: Date: 3 Jun 91 04:31:28 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 10 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Bruce Tseng asks the question "Why didn't God create us with both free will and the power to overcome temptation (as he did with Jesus)" At first glance it does seem that this power which Jesus had gave him an unfair advantage, and it is clear enough that He was made that way, we are not. I submit that we serve a God who is "able to keep us from falling, and present us faultless..." (Jude). God longs to give us the power to overcome. All we have to do is take it. Steve Timm
