Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Despite more than nine out of 10 Americans agreeing Jesus was a historical figure, what they believe about Him diverges widely, according to a newly released survey from the Barna Research Group, a nonprofit organization that has been analyzing cultural trends related to religious belief since 1984.
The survey of more than 4,000 U.S. adults online and by phone suggests Americans are conflicted about the central figure of Christianity and have failed to successfully pass on their faith to succeeding generations.
That Jesus once walked the Earth as a man was accepted by 92 percent of respondents, with even 87 percent of Millennials (those born between 1984 and 2002) agreeing. This overwhelming belief in Jesus’ historicity is reflected in the success of popular movies and television shows such as “Son of God,” “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Bible” and “A.D.: The Bible Continues...”

Tempted yes, sinned No!
Whew, will have to give that some thought.
Yes, he was tempted. He never sinned which is why his sacrifice was enough to atone for all our sins.
4,000 adults do not speak for all Christians. Surveys create news, not report the true status quo.
That was the whole point of Jesus dying for us. If he had sinned he could not have been a blameless sacrifice and able to pay for our sins.
I wonder what percentage of these people would claim that they themselves are not sinners. My guess is... most of them.
It’s mostly unchurched ignorance but not all of it, much is hatred of Jesus.
Just further confirmation of the great falling away........
He is near, at the very gates.
Most non-Christians believe in the good-bad balance. If you do just a tiny more good than bad, you’re in.
Most Americans are lost.
Soros spin. Fake polls. Tired of the SOS from the left.
Wrong. Satan did try to trip Him up, and failed. The Deceiver thought that he could take advantage of the human form that He took on, and got smacked down by His Divinity. He was the Unblemished Lamb for the final sacrifice. John the Baptist even said that he was not worthy to tie His bootlaces.”It is finished” He said.
The 4,000 were probably culled from LGBT organization lists...
And most Americans are wrong.
How any Americans does it take to turn the house around while some one holds the light bulb?
How many Americans does it take to turn the house around while some one holds the light bulb?
Wonder how many it takes to write a sentence, with out screwing up.
Maybe they polled leftist who thought it was wrong of Jesus to say “go and sin no more”. How intolerant of Him.
Polls are not biblical truths. They can give insight into other matters if they are about useful things. Oh well.
2 Cor 5:21 (paraphrased) For God made Him [our Lord Jesus Christ], who knew no sin, to be sin for us, who knew not righteousness, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him.
