As a Christian, have you thought about or have an opinion about:?

The temptations of Christ, after His 40 day fast? I've been thinking about it a lot lately and have had some epiphany's about it, but wonder if others do too?

I think He was subjected to temptations but never actually felt TEMPTED and that all those temptations cover the gamut of ANY temptations in this life WE WILL ever experience too... your thoughts?

    That's quite an interesting way to look at it. He could have had the world handed to Him, but He rejected it. He knew what the deal was. And, He carried that throughout His life without seeming the least bit prideful about it.

    Jesus was made to experience and feel like what we human beings feel...and because we feel TEMPTED like you said he did as well. He was not only the Son of God but the Son of Man aswell and because of this he realized the human experience just as much as you and me do.

    Why would satan tempt jesus to give him the world, if jesus is God and he own the world? Is it because of his human nature, but wouldn't jesus and satan probably know that his human nature is not going to last forever..very strange

    jesus replied in bible:You shall not tempt the LORD your God, but Doesn't satan know that jesus is god?

    He felt it like any of us but didn't give in because He was perfect. The only perfect man ever born and look what they did to him.
