There are many passages in the Bible about the perfection of Jesus, how he was without blemish, and that because of this He could be the perfect sacrifice for us. I have always assumed that this would mean that His perfection went back to His childhood-- that He NEVER sinned throughout His whole life. I am just wondering how to reconcile that with this prophecy from Isaiah.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right. But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. (Isaiah 7:14-16)
How could there have been a time when He did not "know enough to reject the wrong"? E suggested that it could just mean that before Jesus is born the land of the enemy kings will be laid waste.
Any thoughts?
