SON

KING JAMES VERSION, MATTHEW CHAPTER 4, VERSES 5-7:
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,


And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.


THE THING ABOUT THIS STORY IS THAT THE DEVIL KNEW THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD.  AND THE DEVIL KNEW MORE ABOUT JESUS, THEN JESUS KNEW ABOUT HIMSELF.  THE DEVIL KNEW FROM JUMPSTREET, THAT JESUS WASN'T GOING TO FAIL THOSE TEMPTATIONS.  SO WHY BOTHER TO TEST JESUS IN THE FIRST PLACE?  WELL, THE WRITERS, NOT GOD AT ALL, WANTED TO ADD MORE DETAIL, MYSTERY, AND EXCITEMENT TO THE SCIENCE FICTION. 


 YES, THE BIBLE IS SCIENCE FICTION. 


VERSE 5 SAYS THAT THE DEVIL TOOK JESUS TO THE HOLY CITY.  IF JESUS WAS SUCH A "SON OF GOD" IN WHOM GOD WAS SUPPOSE TO BE WELL PLEASED, THEN JESUS WOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED THE DEVIL TO "TAKETH HIM", LIKE TAKE POSSESSION OF OR CONTROL OF HIM, BUT RATHER, HE WOULD HAVE PROTESTED AGAINST SUCH ACTION.  AFTERALL, PEOPLE SAY THAT THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS UP TO NO GOOD.



AGAIN IN VERSE 5, THERE'S ANOTHER FLAW IN JESUS.  HE ALLOWS THE DEVIL PICKED HIM UP AND SET HIM ON TOP OF THE PINNACLE.  HERE AGAIN, THE DEVIL TAKES POSSESSION OF OR CONTROL OF JESUS.  TALK ABOUT "GIVE ME A LIFT"!  WHY WOULD JESUS NEED THE DEVIL TO PLACE HIM ON THE PINNACLE?  COULDN'T HE FLY UP TO THE TOP HIMSELF, SINCE HE'S THE SO CALLED "SON OF GOD"?  LATER JESUS WALKS ON WATER, SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT HOVERING UP TO THE TOP?    


THE DEVIL WANTED JESUS TO JUMP OFF THE PINNACLE TO PROVE HIS "SONSHIP".  IRONICALLY, JESUS RESPONDS SAYING THAT GOD IS NOT TO BE TEMPTED.  IF GOD ISN'T TO BE TEMPTED, THEN JESUS WOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED THE DEVIL TO POSSESS OR CONTROL HIM, POINT BLANK.  JESUS HAS TESTIFIED THAT HE HAS FLAWS, THAT HE HAS BLEMISHES, THAT HE TOO ALLOWS SINFULLY NATURE TO OVERPOWER HIM AND CAUSES HIM TO BE DISOBEDIENT.   


CHRISTIANS SAY THAT THE BIBLE SAY THAT CHRISTIANS AREN'T TO BE UNEVENLY YOLKED.  BUT VERSE 5 REVEALS JESUS FELLOWSHIPPING WITH THE DEVIL, BEING UNEVENLY YOKED!
