The scriptures and the councils teach that Christ was tempted. One common extension to Conciliar Christology, the extension discussed in this chapter, is the claim that Christ not only did not sin, but in fact Christ was unable to sin. Some thinkers see a contradiction looming here. For to be genuinely tempted, they argue, requires having the ability to sin. If Christ was unable to sin, then he could not be tempted, contrary to scripture and council. And so this particular extension of Conciliar Christology, the extension produced by conjoining Conciliar Christology with the thesis that Christ was unable to sin, is false. This chapter responds to this argument against Extended Conciliar Christology.
