I came across the view that Christians do not believe that Christ could have sinned and failed in his mission on earth. Well then how could he be 'tempted in the desert'? Was it all a charade or could Christ have sinned?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also......

  Be careful, exceedingly careful as to how you dwell upon the human nature of Christ. Do not set Him before the people as a man with the propensities of sin. He is the second Adam. The first Adam was created a pure, sinless being, without a taint of sin upon him; he was in the image of God. He could fall, and he did fall through transgressing. Because of sin his posterity was born with inherent propensities of disobedience. But Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God. He took upon Himself human nature, and was tempted in all points as human nature is tempted. He could have sinned; He could have fallen, but not for one moment was there in Him an evil propensity. He was assailed with temptations in the wilderness, as Adam was assailed with temptations in Eden.  {5BC 1128.4}
  Are these SDA's saying this, Reddog?  Clearly the Spirit of Prophecy says He could have sinned.
When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {COL 69}

Yep, I agree with you all. He could have.
A loving,lovable Christian is the most powerful argument in favor of the truth.

There is absolutely no argument  here Thandi. If it were true that it was impossible for Jesus to have sinned then it would be impossible for us to be saved.
