Pilgrim, I think the problem we are having is that on a heavenly realm, Jesus could not of failed, because He was determined to be our Savior before time began, yet on a earthly realm He was subjected to temptations that He as the 2nd Adam must not fail in (the law). You state that He must of had real temptations and that there was a chance he could of failed, or He wasn't a true representative for the elect, correct? For me the higher decree is that He already was the Savior slain for our sins (Rev.13:8, 17:8), so the human realm needs to be seen from that perspective. I do not want to "beat a dead dog" on this subject, but logic seems to on my side (at least in my estimation, but I could be wrong).
