Because you don't understand what I wrote it is therefore, gibberish??
Which part? Or should I ask, which sentence?

Jesus is God. How can He be tempted to bow down to satan? Not even true believers can be tempted to bow down to satan. scheesh .... :sheep:
Jesus was TESTED by satan. satan needed to be convinced that Jesus was the Son of God. NONE of what satan demanded of Jesus was a temptation for Jesus. Jesus was being tested, put to the test by satan. Read carefully the account. Jesus is not going to throw Himself off the Temple to get angels to save Him, or think that by bowing down to satan He was going to get all the kingdoms of the world. Use your brain.

"But for the JOY set before Him Jesus endured unto the cross" but, had a problem enduring Satan's temptations? You can do better than that, well,.. . . you should be able to.
Sorry you do not understand the text. Jesus was tempted! Matthew 4:1 says so
Matthew 4:1New King James Version (NKJV)
Satan Tempts Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

It was called the Law of Moses for a reason, because it is not the whole law of God.

Jesus was left alone by God and yet Jesus was God? Care to explain how that can be, especially when He threw back at Satan nothing but the written word?
You added the word "whole" not Nehemiah.

Tested.
Jesus cannot be tempted to sin or give in to the devil. He is God. Even we as believers cannot be tempted to worship satan or throw ourselves in front of bus just to prove to satan we belong to God. Deal with the text honestly instead of parroting misinformation just because someone taught you wrong.
G3985

From G3984; to test (objectively), that is, endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline: - assay, examine, go about, prove, tempt (-er), try.

Because the Mosaic Law is not the whole Law of God, it was only the part that God gave to Israel.
Guess you are just stubborn. The text says tempted. End of story.

Where does the text say that Jesus was left alone by God in the desert? Why wouldn't Jesus "throw back" at satan the written word? Jesus wrote it!!!!

I think Satan attempted to tempt him with that offer, I don't think that Jesus was seriously tempted. I think Satan would try anything, including asking God to surrender to him, because it isn't like he has viable options to win.

I think that is similar to what I think the text is saying. satan was pushing Jesus to see how far he could go by poking at Him. satan got it thrown in his face right quick, though. That is why he left for a more "opportune time". And my opinion it was through the religious leaders who tried to test Jesus further, ended up hating Him, calling him Beelzebub, tried to stone Him, and plotted His death.

"Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him." Matthew 4:11 (AMP)
Yes and it is implied that if the Christian who loves God knows the written word as Jesus did, he will not be misled by his flesh when tempted/tested/proven. In other words, Jesus KNEW the scriptural/Spiritual ground He stood on that won the day for Him.
BTW, what did Abraham use to rebuke his flesh when put to the test by God re Isaac? And what did God reveal to Him as the result?
Answer that correctly and you will uderstand why Abraham is called the father of faith for all those who believe in Christ.
You know some folks that have done greater works than Jesus?
It isn't my job to read your mind. If you can't articulate whatever convoluted point you're trying to make then how is that my problem.
Just the statement that God does not grant eternal life is patently stupid on the face of it! I can't imagine what processed me to think you'd be able to have an intelligent - two-way conversation.
I've attempted to get you to make sense and would still like for you to do so but I'm not going to hold your hand. I made a fully substantive response to your opening post and you responded with a parade of single sentences that I then said twice made no sense and asked you specifically what you meant and you ignored the question and chose instead to ramble on about what I can only surmise is your attempt to repeat your point instead of addressing my objections or answering my questions.
Eternally alive in Him,

What is your point?
Jesus "won" before He even went into the desert!
What does this have to do with the Testing of Jesus Christ by satan?
Aren't we? We have much greater tools available to us than what Jesus had, the internet being an example. I suspect TOL has reached more people than Jesus ever spoke to as a man.
Also, TV is worldwide.
Revelation 11:9: "Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves."
