Subject: Why did Satan disrespect Jesus? |
Bible Note: "The spirit of debate is not of GOD. Maybe I mistated my interest. I was focusing on how Satan did not speak to God without being questioned and how he did not have this limitation with Jesus. I am simply seeking knowledge of the word. Teach with love." Hi, Tyre! I apologize if I sounded coarse... Your statement sounded to me as though checking (questioning) Jesus Divinity... I have come across a few people whose agenda is to portray Jesus as a creature similar to the angels or perhaps even less than the angels... they surmise that since God cannot be tempted and the passage in Matthew 4 suggest that Jesus is being tempted then, to them, Jesus cannot be God... They reject all other Scritures that testify that Christ is God! Again, my sincere apologies for any disconfort that my post may have given you! Perhaps I should have simply noted that it was God, the Holy Spirit, who guided Jesus into the desert and who allowed the confrontation to take place... Jesus, as the obedient Son accepted the challange, as He did with Pontius Pilate and the crucifixion! God Bless! Angel |
