A Comparison of Three Contrasting Views

Chapter 24

Christ can succor anyone?

a. Specifically, Christ was no "example" or "norm" in the area of sexuality. (For an example of this view, see panel discussion in Christianity Today, July 21,1967.)

b. There is practically no reference in contemporary SDA literature to Christ's temptability in the realm of sexuality. It seems shocking to think He was a normal sexual being.

c. Does not hesitate to present Christ as completely relevant. He truly came "in the flesh." Clear definitions of Christ's temptability are in the Messianic Psalms. If He is not a complete Saviour, He cannot "succor" us who are so tempted. The message modern Christian's need.
