If Jesus is really God in the flesh how could Satan temping Jesus be anything but a cheap circus trick?
What could Satan tempt God with if God had it all anyway ?
Does God resort to cheap party tricks to con people into believing him ?
If Jesus is God then how can the temptation of Jesus be anything but an unfunny joke ?
If Jesus really were God...
1.) Satan would not have even bothered tempting the One who could not have failed.
2.) Jesus would not have constantly been referring to God as a separate person and how Jesus should not put Him to the test.
3.) It would have been pointless for Satan to offer "all the kingdoms of the world" to Jesus since it is only by God's allowance that Satan has control over them.
4.) Satan's request for Jesus to worship him would have been absurd to both of them.
5.) Jesus would never have said, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord (Jehovah) your God and him only shall you serve.'" (Mt. 4:8-10) RSV. Jesus said that his worship belongs to God, not Satan. If Jesus was God, this statement would make absolutely no sense at all.
