1 | When tempted why did Jesus quote the Law | Matt 4:4 | kalos | 153780 | ||
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 | 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 | ||||||
3 | 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 |
