I know this is a topic that requires great precision, so if you know a theologian who responded to this, please give the reference.
The objection is as follows:
If the human will of Christ willed anything that is not conformed to His Divine will, wouldn’t that be a sin?
After thinking of this possible objection (that came into my mind while reading Calvin’s Institues II.XVI.12), I went to see what Aquinas had to say about this topic in his S.T.: he does say that, in a way, Christ’s human will can will something different than His Divine will (III, Q. 18, Art. 5). I think he was right (If I am in error, please correct me). The testimonies of Matthew 26:39 and Augustine (Contra Maxim. II,20) are presented by him in support of his answer.
