I'm with Timmy. Pics or video or it didn't happen. If you don't have pics or video photoshop works wonders
Which brings up something I meant to address in my post, but forgot:
Is it wrong to want proof of things like this? It's impossible to please God without faith, after all. The Bible defines faith in Hebrews as the substance of things hoped for. In a lot of cases, that will be the only substance you'll ever have of whatever it is you hoped for! It will be the only evidence of things you will never see!
I suppose God is pleased when people "keep the faith", even through disappointment. And it must frustrate Him (if not infuriate Him) when people trust Him, say, to heal their child, but get all bent out of shape when He doesn't.

If you allow for fate then I guess no he couldn't But without fate, I suppose for him to be man he had to be capable of sin... For him to be man he even had to be as inclined to sin as Adam was before the fall. Were Adam and Eve inclined to sin before the fall? I think so. If they weren't howcome it was so easy for them to eat the forbidden fruit?
The difference being that God can't sin, and yet God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. That was the hook I was expecting, anyway. God can't sin. So could Jesus? And if so, how could Jesus be God?
God can't die. Yet Jesus did, as a man, die. The spirit of God didn't die, but the flesh did. In much the same way, Jesus was tempted like in all points as we are, yet without sin. Jesus, as a man, was capable of sin. As God, He was capable of overcoming sin, even while dwelling in human flesh.
All this reminds me of the old question: Does God have a belly button?
18 years and running since I first heard that question. The people I was with went around and around about it, and their conclusion was that yes he does, because Jesus did. Then they started on whether God had a belly button before He was born.
My thought through all the debate: of course not! God is a spirit. Guess I'm not very deep.
Timmy, my answer to your quote in the apology-turned-world-wide-disaster-pending forum:
Luke 22:35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
When he sent them out with nothing, they learned from the experience. It was a lesson, not a lifelong obligation.
So, the man that people saw when they looked a Jesus, here on Earth before the crucifixion: that man never sinned, but he could have if he wanted to? He just never wanted to?
