There are a variety of ways to answer that question. Then I ask them did Jesus ever sin? To my recollection in all the years that I have counseled children not one time has a child said to me, "Yes, Jesus sinned." They all say, "No, Jesus never sinned."
Could Jesus sin? The technological word for it is the impeccability of Christ. That means that Jesus Christ was the sinless one. That is the teaching of the Bible. We are taught this in the Bible by some specific statements to that effect. In the last part of the verse of Hebrews 4, verse 15, it says that Jesus was in all points tempted ...
