Right now, my family and I are looking for a new church home. There is one church that we like and we have visited several times and have attended Sunday School twice now. During this most recent lesson this past Lord's Day, the teacher stated that Jesus' use of Scripture to defeat the temptation of Satan were a cry to God the Father for help, because there was a "barrier" (his word) between Him (Jesus) and God (or maybe he said Jesus' God-ness, His ability to resist temptation). He said it was because He's human that He couldn't resist the temptation on His own.
My wife and I both looked at each other at this point and the image that flashed through my head was the John MacArthur "Wat" meme that was popular at one point.
This does not sound right to me and I am trying to figure out if he read this somewhere or where this idea would have come from (or maybe I'm the wrong one). I just see that in saying that Jesus was unable to do this on His own takes away from the fact that He is 100% God.
Can someone point me in the right direction on where I can find more about this line of thought, if it exists?
