Jesus being God, did He have to eat?

Here on Earth yes.

Why here on Earth Bruce?

Jesus was God living here as a human being.

True.

Would He have perished if He didn’t?

Jesus (at least on earth) was fully God and fully man. He ate, went to the bathroom, farted, slept, sweated, shivered, cried as a baby, etc etc etc just like every other human.

Yes, he was still human flesh, this was to symbol Jesus could come live as the flesh and act as a God to guide and show us the way. We should be basing our walk off his walk. He could have done anything, he was God. So could he been here with out eating, yes, but that wasn't the point of him being here. The need was to make him as human as possible so we could see how a human really was suppose to walk this earth.

Hobbie, he would never had perish before his mission was completed. Miracles kept him/ other alive until the day it didn't. He fed 5000 out of nothing practically, 5 loaves of bread and two fish. God gave the isrealites quail when they made the journey out of Egypt when no resources around. So I believe he could have starved to death but with trust in God will provide (life lesson there in itself) if you believe that full heartedly it will happen. Seems like half his walk he was telling his own disples trust in me and my father and the words, and most didn't until they seen him on the path after his death full heartly and he told them I'm going to heaven it's your turn to spread my word. Tag your it!

So He did things not necessary to Him but as an example to us…?

Interesting.

Thank you.

Everything is an example, his words teach us how to care, how to act, how to believe, how to worship...

His life is an example to us how to carry ourselves on the daily, Jesus prayed on his knees alot, Jesus turn the other cheek, Jesus spead the good of his father reason of his walk. As on earth he was pure.

His death was is an example of grace, and true forgiveness.. some.of his last words was forgive them for they know not what they do. He is dieing in pain and still praying for us.

Put your self in his shoes, this was why Jesus was here to be that example and daily we should strive to be in his shoes. Be pure, spread God's word, praise and worship him, pray for everyone, even your worse enemy, and be willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to walk that walk as he did.

Amen and thank you for that little devotion Salem.

Forgiveness of sin requires a perfect sacrifice. Someone/something must take the punishment for my sin, in order for my sin to be forgiven. In OT times, they sacrificed animals, and the animals had to be without blemish. But it wasn't good enough; they had to sacrifice over and over and over.

Sacrifice of a perfect man (Jesus), though, was and is enough to cover/forgive our sin now and forever. We don't have to keep sacrificing people ever and over for forgiveness of sin, not to mention that there are no perfect people to sacrifice. Jesus dying as punishment for my sin, instead of me dying as punishment for my sin, means I can live eternally (in heaven), and do so without having to constantly make more sacrifices.

Hobbie God did thing to Jesus and through Jesus for the example to us. Jesus could have came and said nope not worth it beam me up big man. But he didn't he knew what was going to happen to him before he came, that he would be spat on, hung, ridiculed, torture and death. He told his disciples if the world hates you remember that it hated me first. He knew what he was going to go through before hand. So knowing that he walk included for examples. Turning the other cheek when he could have ended them Snap of the finger (was does power prove?) praying alot to recieve the guidance, ( jesus was God is the flesh, do you think he needed to pray?? His father knew exactly what he was feeling and thinking he was part of him) but yet he did! Gave God credit for everything, even though he preformed the miracles on earth it was always paise his father (He wasn't a look at what I did like we have today) Forgiveness even though the world hated him he still forgave as he died, (he could have said I'll take a few that stuck by my side only) but he gave us all the chance to see the way the truth and the light through him and allow us to get to his father in the kingdom of heaven.

Good point goose.

Yes,
And he had temptation also.

I don't think so. That's too close to gnostic. Jesus was fully man and had to do everything we do, otherwise how could he know what it's like to be human?
Yes, he got tired and dirty and sore and had to eat. If he hadn't eaten after the forty days in the wilderness, he would have eventually died.

Wait…..so He had to do what we do…?

More interesting.

PA the point I was trying to make just him being a human was the example. If he came as a super power on earth we would never see ourselves achieving that status of course he could do any of these things he is a God! That's what we would say. He had to be as low as us to show us how you can walk and through the walk rise yourself up to super power in heaven. And as I stated yes he was human felt all these things but he (fully trusted in God would provide) my point. for his needs because he had 1st hand knowledge of who God was, and now we can have 1st hand knowledge who God is because of Jesus.

Does the bible still claim he spent 40 days in the desert without food or water?

I don’t think there will be a revision coming on that one. He’s not the only one in the Bible to do a 40 day fast either
