Oops - sorry! Thanks for the correction.

I completely agree, and would go further to say that anti-Semitism in
and of itself is an indication of misunderstanding the Gospels.

I believe that He was born innocent, but not perfect, as are all
children. Even though Jesus was the literal Son of God, the Only
Begotten in the flesh, and His divinity was widely attested, his
divinity was then put on hold. I believe that He grew up
indistinguishable from any other child, except perhaps by a unusual
measure of goodness. In our family, we sing the carol this way: "The
cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes, and little Lord Jesus, sweet
crying He makes." As He was learning to walk, angels were available to
protect him from stubbing his toe, but they held back. Even Mary and
Joseph forgot who He was.

Of all mortals, only Jesus continued innocent after reaching the years
of accountability. He grew from grace to grace, obeying his Father
perfectly in all things, thus learning by the Spirit, rather than from
any mistakes. Only He was tempted in all things, more so even than any
other mortal was ever tempted, but He gave no heed, never succumbed.
And He had one temptation that no other mortal ever had -- the
temptation to invoke His divine half to escape the vicissitudes of
mortality.

He told His apostles that if they had faith like a mustard seed, they
could do greater miracles than He. He meant exactly what He said. He
did only what any mortal can do by faith in the Father. He lived
completely as a mortal, keeping His divine powers in abeyance. That is
why He is our perfect example, and why we are left without excuse. He
had access to "super powers" but never cheated.

Faced with the bitter cup of our sins, His flesh wanted to shrink, but
His pure spirit cried "Father, Thy will be done." The Lamb of God came
to our passover without blemish, the only one worthy to suffer for
another's sins. The Father withdrew, leaving Him alone, and Satan
heaped upon him all our shame, all our horror, all our guilt, all our
pain. He deserved none of it. By inflicting his punishments on the
only innocent *man*, Satan lost any claim on any man who would seek
refuge in Ch
