The implications of Jesus sinning are staggering.
Interesting topic, thanks.
It seems to me that "sin" is somewhat of a moving target.
In the garden narrative, eating the forbidden fruit was a sin.
After A&E were banished from the garden (orchard), that was no longer an available transgression.
If that's not true, you had better know which tree your apple juice came from. - LOL
From the time of Adam until Moses, death reigned over humankind. (before the law was given)
Then God gave the law to the Israelites (alone) through Moses. Violations of the law law were then sin.
When Christ came he did away with the law. From that time we were held to Christ's law and God's law.
God's law was from the beginning. The law that Cain broke when he murdered his brother Abel.
Romans 5:13-14 NIV
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given,
but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses,
even over those who did not sin by breaking a command,
as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
1 Corinthians 9:20-22 NIV
To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.
To those under the law I became like one under the law
(though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.
21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law
(though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),
so as to win those not having the law.
22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I
have become all things to all people so that
by all possible means I might save some.
Galatians 3:23-25 NIV
Before the coming of this faith,[
a] we were held in custody under the law,
locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
