Sinlessness of Christ in the Bible
Christ was a holy, blameless, unstained, and separated from sinners[edit]
“For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.”
Noah, Job, and the parents of John the Baptist (Zechariah and Elizabeth) were also sinless and blameless[edit]
“Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generations; and Noah walked with God.”
“Job, and that man was blameless and upright…”
- (Job 1:1)
“In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.”
(Since Christ denies that He is perfectly good, how does the Christian explain Christ is without sin?)[edit]
“Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God.”

- "Sin" by Manifestations of God (for explanation in Some Answered Questions about this verse)
(Christ broke the law by healing on the Sabbath as interpreted by men, but not by God’s interpretation of the law)[edit]
“And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus and sought to slay Him because He had done these things on the Sabbath”
Note[edit]
- Could the same argument not be applied to the life of Moses and all the other Manifestations who literally appear to have broken the laws of man or the law of the previous dispensation?
(Christ disrupted temple worship and services breaking the law as man interpreted the law but did not break the spirit of God’s law)[edit]
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves.”
Notes[edit]
- Shortly after these actions, Christ was seized as a criminal and executed for His “crimes.”
- Christ, like all Manifestations, broke the laws of man and past religious laws, but only in accord with the will of God. No Manifestation broke the Law of God which They have the power to reveal and establish though it be contrary to past religious law and the expectations of those seeking the Promised One. Sinlessness must be interpreted spiritually as being in accord with the Will of God.
