If it isn't enough, why did Jesus quote Scripture back at Satan?
Scripture is enough or else Jesus would have used something else to combat Satan.
When Satan tempted Eve in the garden, his first line of attack was against the word of God. He started with *Did God REALLY say.....*?
Her problem was that she did not know what God really said for whatever reason and she misquoted the very little word (Scripture) they had.
When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus succeeded where Adam and Eve failed. Jesus CORRECTLY quoted and applied Scripture, the TRUTH of God.
Satan could not defeat Jesus because He succeeded where Adam and Eve failed, in that area.
Knowledge of Scripture is critical to defeating the lies of the enemy, even when he misuses Scripture to lead people astray.
That's why reading, memorizing, and meditating on the word is so essential to a Christian's growth and maturity and victory over sin and the enemy in their lives.
Anything that does not line up with the revealed word of God is a lie from the enemy. Scripture CANNOT contradict itself.
“Scripture CANNOT contradict itself”
agreed.....2 Thessalonians 2:15 “so then, brethern, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter”
since the Church was there to receive the teaching from the Apostles, the Church is the only one who can stand firm.
one of these traditions taught by the Apostles not explicitly taught by the Scriptures is infant baptism.
the Church received the practice from the Apostles, yet there are some today who hold to a doctrine they call “believers baptism”
so the Scriptures can’t contradict themselves and the Scriptures condemn “sola scriptura”.
Satan could not defeat Jesus because He is God, not because He could out debate Satan. Although you continue to deny it, Jesus IS God.
