Abstract

In two recent articles, Johannes Grössl offers a thorough examination of the difficulties concerning Christ's impeccability and claims that no Christological model has yet to resolve them. Using the Divine Preconscious Model and interacting with contemporary discussions concerning divine omnipotence and moral perfection and the distinction between directly and indirectly free actions, I defend the possibility that God Incarnate possesses libertarian freedom without desires for evil choices, given which it is metaphysically impossible for him to choose evil. I show that my proposal is able to answer Grössl's objections and is superior to other proposals.
