| 1 | Why did Jesus answer Satan with the Law? | Matt 4:4 | kalos | 153391 | ||
| Why did Jesus quote the Law to Satan? Why not quote from other OT writings? When tempted by the devil in the wilderness, Jesus answered by quoting the Law that prohibited the things Satan tempted him to do. He could have quoted the Psalms, the prophets, or the historical books, but He didn't. Instead He quoted the Law. Why did He quote the Law and not other OT books? |

| 2 | Why did Jesus answer Satan with the Law? | Matt 4:4 | Jesusman | 153396 | ||
| The Law has a history of being God spoken. That God himself spoke the Law to Moses during the 40 years of wandering. Whether or not that is true is beside the point, the point is that the Law is what most people of the time referred to when it came to God's declared will. The Law was seen as the final authority. So by quoting the Law, Jesus is making a hidden statement that "This is my final answer. I'm not going to be tempted." Jesusman |

| 4 | When tempted why did Jesus quote the Law | Matt 4:4 | Searcher56 | 153812 | ||
| God's day to you, Kalos, It was the best Scripture to use in the situation. Can you think of a better OT passage than He did? Jesus also could have not given an answer or ignored him. Steve | ||||||
| 5 | When tempted why did Jesus quote the Law | Matt 4:4 | kalos | 153827 | ||
| Steve: Yes, those were the best Scriptures to use in the situation. Surely Jesus, the Messiah, knew the best Scriptures to use. And no, I cannot think of a better OT passage than He did. It would be presumptuous to claim I could have answered better than Jesus. Also, I think it is significant that Jesus quoted the Law -- He didn't reason with the devil, He didn't attempt to persuade the devil, He didn't argue with him. He merely quoted THE LAW and that was the end of it. The Law itself was adequate. Grace to you, Kalos |
