This topic would most likely only concern religions affiliated with Yahweh.
I have heard it said that Jesus, since He lived a life as 100% human and 100% God, is able to empathize with our every feeling because He experienced it too. That whenever you're experiencing something, you can rest knowing that He experienced it as well, and and can now empathize with you. Some of the immediate, more childish, views upon this thought include doubt that He could have ever had a crush on someone, cried when He fell, or not have done something perfectly. But, upon closer examination, this statement, that He is able to empathize with our every feeling, provokes more gripping questions. How could He have experienced everything we feel? My main contrary thought to this statement concerns Ignorance. "To err is human," right? How could Jesus have ever been ignorant if He's God? We are wrapped in perpetual Ignorance and Incompetency, but Jesus surely could not have struggled with either of these issues to any extent. I find Ignorance to be a constant source for my lack of peace of mind, and Incompetency to rival it as a profound antagonist of my life. Most of the issues that plague me are closely linked to these. For example, I don't know God's plan because I'm human and I'm ignorant, that puts me in a quandry at times. Also, I cannot fathom God, His omnipotence, eternal existence, will, omnipotency, etc. because of my fleshly incompetency, that is another perpetual doubt and fear of mine. Jesus could fathom Himself, could He not? He knew what His will (and His Father's) was. He knew what was going on, what needed to be done, and what He was destined to do, didn't He? These questions puzzle me, I will admit. If any of you have sentiments to express concerning this, then please express them. -------------------- "Those who dream by day are cognizent of things that escape those who only dream at night." ~Edgar Allan Poe

Wow..i don't really know what to say to that, but those are really good questions. I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on that too. Sorry I don't have anything to add right now.
