Few people, if any, in this discussion deny Jesus's humanity. We also would recognize his divinity in the Godhead. Your response sound like that of a unitarian -- but only in the way you are reflecting Jesus overcoming the temptation of Satan.
At least in once sense, Jesus was not tempted inwardly (i.e., reacting momentarily toward the external points by Satan) because Jesus had the testimony of scriptures against the lies of Satan. The stronger reason is Jesus's divinity itself kept him from following the temptation.
Yet, he became familiar with the temptation men feel and thus could become the High Priest with this experience.
Christians have the element of God's Spirit to help against temptation,
but Christians are not simply able to follow Jesus's example against Satan (or rather the flesh) -- as you seem to imply. None of us our Christ.
I'm not sure what drives you to such misinterpretation of scripture and the identity of the creature known as Satan. It has not been convincing. Again your equating with Jesus solely in his humanity (and the limitations and sins of mankind) sounds like stuff unitarians say. The scriptures you quote therefore do not convince anyone to accept the beliefs you hold.And yet, when I post the Word's Jesus inspired James to write about "Every man" being tempted, you reject them as not pertaining to the man Jesus. Like HE placed burdens on others that HE Himself would not lift with even one of His Fingers.
I will not join you in your "subtle" judgements against Him
That is also popular teaching of this world. That Jesus overcame temptation using powers He and His Father withheld from EVERY other Human ever born, then gave Himself a Trophy for overcoming.
No much different than the popular preaching you promote of this same Christ, that HE forgot or simply refused to warn Eve, the weaker vessel, of the human devouring monster, the most deceitful creation HE ever created, that would deceive the entire world and bring pain, death and suffering to the masses for millennia, before HE sent her "Alone" into the wilderness with this monster.
And then, when she was devoured, deceived, destroyed, HE punished her further, and not only her, but her children, along with every man ever born for centuries and centuries, even to this very day.
Again, I will not join you in your judgments against Him. Truly the Holy Scriptures are True when they said "He is despised and rejected of men".
Wow,
"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
I always wonder how far a man will go to justify a religious philosophy. But saying this scripture made Him "Familiar" with temptation, that's a new one for me.
It's called "Putting on the Armor of God".
That is what the Flesh (satan) teaches. That Jesus can't be trusted because humans are simply incapable of becoming a "Doer" of His Sayings. I advocate that men stop listening to satan (their flesh), and stop walking in the lusts of their flesh (satan). And instead, place their trust in His teaching, not the "other voices" in the garden HE placed us in. It's called "Faith in God" in my understanding.
Not a very popular philosophy with the course of this world though, the spirit that works in the children of the Flesh (devil), who profess to know the Christ, but refuse to obey Him.
It's all there for us Mike, in the very Words that you said were "not worth detailed scrutiny".
To bad you have been convinced of this though, because they were Inspired by the Christ specifically for our "detailed scrutiny".
But I am not deferred because I have "put on these Words, and am prepared"
As it is written: "They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
But there I go with those pesky Scriptures again.
It’s bizarreI'm not sure what drives you to such misinterpretation of scripture and the identity of the creature known as Satan. It has not been convincing. Again your equating with Jesus solely in his humanity (and the limitations and sins of mankind) sounds like stuff unitarians say. The scriptures you quote therefore do not convince anyone to accept the beliefs you hold.
Right on! Jesus is the Man...The God Man. He is the answer to all lies coming from Satan.Jesus didn't fall for any of Satan's lies. Jesus was impossible to pigeonhole. He didn’t just march to the beat of a different drummer; he reinvented the drum.
He kept God’s law, but he challenged commonly held traditions like what you were allowed to do on the Sabbath Day. Worshipers in Jerusalem had grown comfortable with the money changers in the temple, but Jesus threw them out. His disciples were drawn to him, but they couldn’t quite figure him out. He fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah, but he didn’t always act the way his countrymen expected the Messiah to act. Some tried to brand him a rebel, yet they couldn’t find him guilty of a single sin. Some said he was in cahoots with the devil, but everywhere Jesus went, he overthrew the devil’s work.
Jesus told his disciples to be shrewd as serpents and harmless as doves
16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves.
Matthew 10:16
NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?
Ge 3:1
Says the false teacher who denies satan, the devil and that he not only tempted Jesus but challenged YHWH with Job below.Perhaps the Scriptures I post that you can't speak to, do expose your jesus. But not the Jesus "of the Bible".

How can things be discussed that you deny exist. You do not live in biblical reality but a reality created by your fallen world and biblical views which contradict the clear teaching in both text and to about a reality created supernatural being knows as the devil, satan, the god of this world etc….Fascinating how you can't seem to bring yourself to speak directly to ALL or Any Word that is actually written in Scriptures. It's Like your mind and thoughts are the gospel and the only thing "worthy" of mention, but you hide from any detailed scrutiny, or any scriptures which clearly bring into question the specific beliefs you hold and promote to others. All the while promoting a "jesus" who risked nothing for anyone, "because" HE had God powers HE Himself withheld from all other humans. Who overcame sin and temptation "because" HE had God powers HE Himself withheld from all other humans. That He only faked death, because HE had God powers HE Himself withheld from all other humans, and therefore "couldn't die". And then HE gave Himself a Name above all other humans, for overcoming sin and temptation with powers HE Himself withheld from all other humans.
Talk about "Bizarre". And yet that is you and Civics philosophy.
And in the same manner, you openly promote Him as a God who didn't really care for Eve at all. Who knew of the great danger and responsibility of a free will, and the dangers that would come from within, and therefore gave her Laws to help her rule over her own free will Flesh. But withheld from her any knowledge at all of a "talking snake" that you and Civic preach to the world is the most deceitful, powerful and dangerous creation on the entire planet, who deceived the entire world.
And your image of this Christ sent Eve, without any armor, without any warning, alone in a wilderness where HE must have known this deceiver existed, and when this perfect deceiver deceived her, He punished her with a very harsh punishment, but more than that, He punished her children, and me and my children, and every human born between me and her.
And then, when someone challenges this popular worldly religious philosophy by pointing out what the scriptures actually say, both you and Civic double down in your promotion of such a wicked judgment of Christ.
And all this comes from within your own Flesh, not from without through a talking snake, as the Scriptures have clearly shown.
That you can't "see" the wickedness and falsehood of this philosophy you have adopted and are promoting to others is astonishing to me. That you can't "see" that it is "YOU" who are the accuser of the Christ, painting Him in such a wicked light.
It is you that is the "man of Sin", the son of perdition, that has exalted yourself as God's Judge. It isn't a talking snakes fault that Eve rejected God's Word. She was "Free" to chose God or not choose God. So was Adam. Blaming someone else for your own wickedness in a product of your own flesh. When you accept this undeniable Biblical truth, perhaps maybe God will lift the delusion, "the devil made me do it".
But so far, you and Civic can't bring yourself to even honestly discuss these things.
No wonder you are so aggressive. You have a weird concept of what others believe.And in the same manner, you openly promote Him as a God who didn't really care for Eve at all.

It’s weird for sure and it’s self righteous confidence in the flesh just like the self righteous Pharisees who also denied Christ in the exact same way he does.No wonder you are so aggressive. You have a weird concept of what others believe.
I have not rated Satan's ability to influence the world or whether to be daily cautious of him. Even if we sin, whether of our own flesh or by Satan's temptation, we have forgiveness in Christ. I'm not sure what you believe except that you have an extreme focus on the flesh instead of the solution.
For the readers here are the biblical fact @Studyman denies
Concerning Satan, the Bible gives the following information:
• Satan is a personal being, with a mind, emotions, and a will (Job 1; Matthew 4:1–12).
• He is a created being and is not equal to God (Ezekiel 28:15).
• Satan does not rule hell. Hell was created as a punishment for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41).
Neither does Satan live in hell, as the Bible describes how he can enter heaven and roam the earth (Job 1:6–7).
• The devil can only do what God allows (Job 1:12).
• Satan is not omnipresent. But he does oversee a horde of demons, called “the powers of this dark world and . . . the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). He uses this network to tempt and deceive people.
Can you address others on this forum without always putting them in the same category as the many false prophets in Mystery Babylon ~ Jim Bakker does not believe as I do, not even close.That's right. You would never consider your flesh or the flesh of man, or the thoughts of man, or the deeds of man, or anything that comes from within you, as the enemy of God, the enemy of all righteousness. Neither did the Pharisees. Neither did Jim Bakker or countless other self proclaimed "Ministers of Righteousness".
You never left what I believe, since you have never preached the doctrine of free grace through the faith and righteousness of the Son of God.This is why I left your religion. Because God said the heart of man is deceitful above "ALL THINGS", and desperately wicked. But Red Baker says, no. It's not the Flesh/mind of man that is deceitful above all things it's an invisible talking snake from "without" that is deceitful above all things..
There are many things that defile a man, yes our evil, wicked hearts of the old man, that every single person has in them, that are living in the land of the living, including you. That does not eliminate. the devil as our enemy as well, and many other things that is in Mystery Babylon that the king of of Babylon uses to tempt us with. You are protecting your father, @ Studyman, without even knowing you are! SelahBecause in your religion, it's only those things from without, that defiles a man, not from within.
Actually, I quote much of the word of God, often times. Christ quoted what he needed to say to prove his point, so do I. I try not to write a book every time I make a post, but folks like you make this work almost impossible to keep our post short. I have read the rules and know what it said about posting, and the length of them.Your custom of only quoting "part" of God's Word is popular, even as far back as Eve. But it isn't edifying. Here, lets post more of the message in search of the truth of the message.
Eph. 4: 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Is "lying" not a work of the Flesh that we are to mortify? Is it not also a "Work of the devil" that we are to flee?
What are you preaching here Red? That lying as a fleshy lust is acceptable to God, but lying as a result of satan's possession is not?
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
How is giving place to the carnal flesh, or giving place to the devil, two different things? It isn't, only in the hearts of men is such a wickedness distinction found.
I am doing what the Holy Spirit commanded me to do, per 1st John 4:1.I know you are not allowed by your master to honestly engage or answer these questions. But for those reading along, what is the difference between the carnal flesh and the devil?
I never can figure out you framework for interpreting the bible. Jesus never placed a burden on people that they should be tempted. Maybe someone else you know can tell us what you are talking about.And yet, when I post the Word's Jesus inspired James to write about "Every man" being tempted, you reject them as not pertaining to the man Jesus. Like HE placed burdens on others that HE Himself would not lift with even one of His Fingers.
I will not join you in your "subtle" judgements against Him
You still are not making sense and are stating something that has no relation to what I shared. However,Jesus being divine certainly did have strength we did not. This temptation by Satan was apparently Satan's attempt to divert Jesus from his obligations. He was not resisting temptation as an example to us how to do that. The main response however was to quote scripture against when Satan tried to distort scripture for an evil objective.That is also popular teaching of this world. That Jesus overcame temptation using powers He and His Father withheld from EVERY other Human ever born, then gave Himself a Trophy for overcoming.
The parable of Job ?The Parable of Job, describes God speaking to His Sons, including a son called satan, in this Parable.
Again, just as the Lord spoke to His son Adam, it asks the question of him, "Whence comest thou?", just as it asked His Son Adam, "Where art thou?".
Are you so blind that you can't consider the possibility that Almighty God was fully aware of where both "Sons of God" were? So why did He have it written for my admonition, "Where are you"? For me this requires study to discern and understand, which I am instructed to do, from the Word's of the Jesus "of the Bible", which is the reason for my posts.
For you it is a joke, unworthy of even a modest consideration and unworthy of even an honest discussion. You just blow it off as unworthy of even the slightest of curiosity.
Why must you relegate God as an imbecilic, incompetent God that loses it's sons? Uninterested in even considering the implications of your indifference.
Paul said it is: "Because that, when you knew God, you glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing yourself to be wise, (As evidenced by this very post) you became a fool, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image "made like to corruptible man", (A God doesn't even know where His sons are) and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
I don't believe God asked His sons the question He asked them, because HE didn't know where they were or where they have been. And have sought to understand why God had this written for me.
While you are so uninterested in His Teaching, that you don't even hear what HE said.
So what part of His sons did HE speak to? The part that obeyed Him, or the part that disobeyed Him?
The Christ, "of the bible" said the "Flesh (Heart) of man that HE created, "Is evil above all things and desperately wicked, who can even know how wicked".
You have said yourself that Eve was created "perfect and sinless". What does God actually say in Ez. 28?
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways "from the day that thou wast created", till iniquity was found in thee.
How can you preach to the world that this isn't speaking about the Flesh of Adam and Eve, or of any man, except Jesus?
What did the Flesh of Eve say?
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
What did the man in Ez. 28 say?
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
And yet, you are not even curious, rather, your mission here is to exalt yourself over me, and justify your specific religion.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Gal. 5: 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Name ONE Evil perpetrated in this world, that isn't the result of the wickedness of man. Just ONE Civic?
The point of Scriptures is that satan is only made manifest in the mind of man that walk in the Flesh. Satan didn't even exist in Scriptures, until after God created Adam and Eve. God warned Eve of the evil that comes from within, and gave HER a Law for the purpose of ruling over the Free will of her Flesh, a Law she lusted against from within. But HE didn't warn at all, about what you and Kenneth Copeland and "many" others who profess to know God, preach is the greatest danger of all.
I believe that because you have harkened to the wicked lusts of your flesh, like Eve did, that, as it is written "says still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they (Flesh of man, satan) say unto every one (As it did Eve) that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. ( Ye shall not surely die)
You can't accept this because you lust in your flesh for a scapegoat, someone else to blame for your indifference and disrespect for God. Just as Adam and Eve did. "The Serpent beguiled me". But if you were honest, you would understand that it was Eves own choice to despise God's instruction, just as it is your own choice to make such wicked judgments against God and His Son.
Consider the hubris it takes to clearly see that God didn't accept Eve's justification for her wicked "works of the Flesh", but somehow you believe you are better than she is, and God will allow you to blame someone else for your own "works".
I just home other reading along, might consider "ALL THAT IS ACTUALLY WRITTEN" concerning the "deeds of men".
In the Bible, God's Kingdom is here, on earth, and HIS Temple is our mind, where the Alter, Blood of Christ, and Mercy Seat exist. Yes, evil is present in God's Kingdom for a time through the Flesh of man.
Job 106 doesn't make the rest of the bible void.
What???? You just said "Satan is a personal being, with a mind, emotions, and a will". Are you now saying that satan came, not to do his own will, but the will of Him who sent him?
Clearly you know not what you worship?
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Is this not the mind/heart of man, where the Temple of God exists?
Jer. 17: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Gal. 5: 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Where is satan's kingdom, but in the Flesh of man.
Shall I destroy all the scriptures you must erase from your Bible, just to receive the praise of man? Why would I reject so much of God's Own Words concerning the evil from within that defiles a man?
