He can't possibly win, so he must be ignorant and arrogant.

On a side note, I get very annoyed to hear anyone preaching more about the devil than the power of God and the strength in His Word.

PO the Gospel writers gave no hint that the temptation was simply a matter of play acting on the part of Christ. They saw the temptation as real.

No where in the account of the temptation was at anytime hinted that Jesus could have said Satan you have to bounce you know I can't sin.

He can't understand my temptation unless He truly walked through real temptation. He was tempted at all points.

That's exactly how I see it.

I never implied that Jesus was "play acting". The challenge of Satan was real. Just as real as in Heaven. He was challenging the "flesh" now.

I agree that He was tempted in all points as a man. Therefore, He does sympathize with our weaknesses.

The scripture still stands that He did not need anyone to "testify/witness" what was in man, he knew what was in man. How? "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3

I still contend that you must be deceived in order to sin, and Jesus could not be deceived. That doesn't mean He would not be tempted nor challenged.

He was baptized of John in order to "fulfill all righteousness", he was also tempted like as we - yet without sin. Why? Because He was perfect, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, chosen to be the High Priest - it was not possible that He could sin. It was only possible that he would be challenged, which He was by Satan and even by the Pharisees. That continues to be my view.

If I am tempted with something that I can not give into is it really a temptation? Somethings we won't know on this side of Heaven.

In your opinion was was Christ Baptized since you brought up the subject.

peirazō: Tempted/Tested

Was God able to give into and fall into Satan's power when he challenged His authority in Heaven? Isn't it the same difference - God manifest in the flesh?

How could the God that stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Job 26:7) ever possibly fail us in Heaven or on Earth?

Are you tempted by everything that comes before you? More plainly, there are very few men that can tempt me, but woe to me to the one that can. That's when you really need God.

Jesus was God manifest in flesh. What was Satan tempting Him with that He didn't already have?

Can you not fail a test???? Is it a true test if you have the key to the test??? Where in scripture does it say that He could not have given it to those temptation or test. He was born without and died without sin as to be the spotless lamb.

There are very few women that can tempt me because I am high maintenance.

Good stuff sister!

I am simply unable to separate Him from His Diety. I believe that He cannot sin, as He is God in the flesh. It would make God a failure. God is not a man that He can lie - so He is unable to be deceiving. He knows what is in man - so He cannot be deceived. How can He fail? He can be challenged and tested, but fail?

Gotta stick with the one that can handle it, huh? Same here.

Good stuff sister!

Enjoying the conversation.

So, what was the purpose of God taking on the robe of flesh, really?

I mean, he could have healed people from heaven......why make the human body die on the cross? And how could Jesus have died if he wasn't human? God can't die......deity can't die.

So, here we are on the horns of a dilemma. Not only was Jesus flesh, but his flesh didn't really want to be crucified.....he had to PRAY to the Father for strength......doesn't sound like deity to me....sounds like humanity.......
