Study Notes
The Concept of Pickability and Impeccability
- Pickability refers to the ability to do or not to do, which is an attribute of humanity's unfallen nature.
- In the context of humanity, pickability means being capable of something, not necessarily doing it.
- Christ, as a human, has pickability, which means he was capable of sinning, but he didn't.
The Parallel Between Christ and Adam
- Adam, before the fall, had a free will and was able to make decisions, including the decision to sin.
- Christ, like Adam, has a free will and is capable of making decisions, but he never sinned.
- The parallel between Christ and Adam is used to illustrate the concept of pickability and impeccability.
The Definition of Impeccability
- Impeccability refers to the inability to sin, which is a characteristic of God's nature.
- In the context of Christ, impeccability means that he was incapable of sinning, not because he was unable to, but because he was God.
- Impeccability is not the same as inability; it means that Christ was able to sin, but he chose not to.
The Relationship Between Humanity and Divinity
- Christ's humanity and divinity are intertwined, making it difficult to separate the two.
- The kenosis (the emptying of Christ's divine nature) allows us to understand how Christ's humanity and divinity interacted.
- Theologians like Augustine would consider it heresy to imply that Christ was sinful, but the concept of pickability and impeccability helps to clarify the nature of Christ's humanity and divinity.
The Significance of Sinlessness
- Sinlessness is not equal to an inability to sin; it means that Christ was able to overcome temptation and sin.
- Christ's sinlessness is connected to his humanity, which means that he was able to feel temptation and pressure, but he never yielded.
- The concept of sinlessness is important because it shows that Christ was a fully sympathetic high priest who understands human weakness and temptation.
The Implications of Impeccability and Pickability
- The concepts of impeccability and pickability help us to understand the nature of Christ's humanity and divinity.
- Christ's impeccability is not just about his divine nature, but also about his humanity, which means that he was able to feel temptation and pressure.
- The implications of impeccability and pickability are that Christ is a fully sympathetic high priest who understands human weakness and temptation, and that he is the unblemished sinless son of God.
