"Was it God's determinate will that Satan attempt to derail Christ from His course ?"

Apparently yes since it occurred. God is always in control. In fact it says:

Mat 4:1 "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil."

God didn't wait for Satan to come to him. He went to Satan.

It's realizations like this, given by righteous posters on Easter morning, that make Free Republic so rewarding.

Thanks for the reminder, Harley. Have a blessed Resurrection Day.

Yes, oh course ... this wasn't the question.

What was the purpose of this meeting between Jesus and Satan ?
