VK Fox It's a useful analogy in explaining the need for Christ. I'm having trouble locating it, but I seem to remember a verse that briefly used a similar analogy. I'll do some digging, but I'm not having much luck at the moment. Edit: Found it. But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. Matthew 9:12
Christ's way of using the analogy was not the same as the thread I saw used it. The way it was potrayed in that thread was that we had no choice whether or not we sin because we are born that way because of Adam. Sinning is a choice. We are sinners because we choose to be, but we can't choose if we have a disease. That's the point I am trying to make. Jesus came to minister to those who didn't know Him and to reveal the Gospel and the standard by which we are supposed to live if we want to return back to Heavenly Father. Yes, we are all sinners, because we chose to disobey God, Jesus was the only one who lived a sinless life, but that doesn't mean we aren't capable of doing that too. We can all be sinless just like Christ. Hence why the scriptures say "Be thou perfect as my Father in Heaven is perfect." If that was such an unrealistic commandment to achieve then Christ would not have said it.
