However, our flesh is scarred and stained by sin, so it takes a lifetime and sometimes more for us to become without spot or blemish. "...when we see Him we will be like Him." Methinks most if not all of us will not be spotless until we "see Him".

Guys....He is God he could do what ever He wanted to do. Sin included. He would never sin, but in the flesh he could do whatever he wanted to. Because Adam had the blood of God in him and He sinned. Jesus is the second Adam so He could have sinned too.
I can not believe there is even a debate on this. It is soooo evident that Jesus/God in flesh could do everything. If the Bible is correct and Jesus was tempted the same as we then there was plenty of chances to sin, but He knew Adam sinned so He made up in His spirit that He would not. One of the main reasons He came here was to show us the way to heaven. Holy living.
