*" God cannot be tempted by evil, and he
himself tempts no one.
(James 1:13)
3) The Bible reports that "after fasting forty days and forty nights, he (Jesus) was
hungry" analyzing this verse, let`s reason together:
> Does God fast?
> To whom was Jesus fasting? To himself as God or to someone who
is greater than him?
> Does God feel hungry or thirsty?
4) in the story of `the temptation of Jesus` (you find this heading in several Bible)
we came to discover that the devil (Satan) moved and controlled Jesus! Did Satan
do that with Jesus the man or Jesus the God? If Satan did that with Jesus the man, what
is the point? And if the devil did that with Jesus the God, can God be tried, moved, and controlled?
Let`s remember James` word, "God cannot be tempted by evil.."
At the end of the dialogue between Jesus and Satan and after Satan asked Jesus to
"fall down and worship" him, Jesus said to the devil:
*worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only"
(Matthew 4"10)
I assume. If Jesus were God incarnate, he might have easily responded, " no Satan, it is
You who must fall down and worship me, your God!" but instead he invoked the above
Scripture about worshipping the true God ONLY.
On the other hand, we learned from the story that:
> Satan SAW Jesus.
> Satan SAID TO Jesus.
> Satan HEARD Jesus.
> Satan TOOK Jesus.
> Satan SHOWED Jesus.
> Satan SPOKE WITH Jesus.
(please read the whole story of the temptation of Jesus, Matthew 4:1-10)
But, the Bible emphatically indicates that GOD CANNOT BE SEEN OR HEARD.
*NO one has ever seen him. And no one can see him.
(1 Timothy 6:16)
*you have never heard His voice nor seen His shape.
(John 5:37)
*Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only
God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen
(1 Timothy 1:17)
Additionally, before I conclude this section, let me ask: During Jesus` life on earth
Didn`t his family, people, and followers see and hear him?
Therefore, according to the description of God in the above verses, Jesus cannot be
God. Isn`t this reasonable and logical? So, what is truth? Think about it!
