I do not believe that being tempted in like manner means that Jesus was tempted with EVERY SPECIFIC THING that people deal with. If tempted to fornicate, was He tempted to steal? Lie? Kill?
Other than that, no real objections to VB’s commentary. I’m bout half way through.

I don’t believe the temptation was an internal conflict. Perhaps the devil tempted Jesus with fornication or any other sin common to man, that doesn’t mean Jesus desired those things. I read the same thing and was a bit taken back when I read it. I wish he would have expounded a little more on what he meant by temptation. There is a debate in some circles as to whether or not it would have even been possible for Jesus to sin.
