I notice you had to go on line to past and copy someone else's work..that says alot..
Your commentator says lots of simplistic words but never gets to the heart of the scripture. This sounds like a seeker friendly topical sermon ..not a an answer to my question
Why did the spirit of God lead Christ into temptation?
How did Christ overcome the temptation? Those are the questions on this text..
Think about it mark... why does the bible call Jesus the 2nd Adam? What did jesus do to silence Satan?..go read the text for your self and consider it
Certainly. It says that I do not make it all up as I go along.
Why did the spirit of God lead Christ into temptation?
I thought that the article had answered it. However, I might add this:
We cannot overcome satan on our own. It is only with Jesus Christ that we can possibly resist him. Jesus is the example and the beacon that we need to follow.
How did Christ overcome the temptation? Those are the questions on this text..
Jesus is God. satan is a creation. God is not going to give in to one of His creations.
Think about it mark... why does the bible call Jesus the 2nd Adam?
Adam was the first human and led mankind away from God. Jesus is God become human to lead us back to Him.
What did jesus do to silence Satan?
He reminded him that God alone shall be served and worshiped.

From the discourse I have had here on FR, it appears as if I read and consider the Gospels much more than the average anti Catholic.
