Bible Question:
I know Jesus was tempted. The Bibles says so right there that Jesus was tempted. But what my question is that at James 1:13 it says that "God cannot be tempted with evil" but Jesus was. So how can he be God? Your answer was to the fact that Jesus was tempted and he was and knows how it feels to be tempted so he can sympathize with us because we are tempted all the time. When Jesus was tempted to see if he would worship the devil what was his test to see if he was loyal too? Loyal to himself since he is God? jm |
Bible Answer: I have been waiting for a question like this . Jesus is not GOD, He is GOD's only begotten son. This is confusing to a lot of people because the new translations of the bible has taken GOD's name out and replaced it with Lord, thus making people believe that they are one in the same. Most Churches also do not teach the differance between GOD the father and Jesus the son. GOD's name in JEHOVAH if said in English and YAHWEH in Hebrew. Jehovah Definition: The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. "Jehovah" is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, ????, which means "He Causes to Become." These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH. Where is God's name found in Bible translations that are commonly used today? The New English Bible: The name Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35. (But if this and other translations use "Jehovah" in several places, why not be consistent in using it at every place where the Tetragrammaton appears in the Hebrew text?)Revised Standard Version: A footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: "The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH." Today's English Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: "THE LORD: . . . Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions." King James Version: The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24. American Standard Version: The name Jehovah is used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures in this translation, beginning with Genesis 2:4.
