There are many things recorded about Christ that simply cannot align with the idea that He was an all-powerful, all-knowing God—co-equal with the "Godhead." It is written:
"Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being 40 days tempted of the devil" (Luke 4:1-2). "He Himself hath suffered being tempted" (Heb. 2:18). "In all points tempted like as we are" (Heb. 4:15). "Ye have continued with me in my temptations" (Luke 22:28).
James declares (and this is surely self-evident): "God cannot be tempted" (James 1:13).
It is impossible to conceive of an all-wise, all-powerful God being tempted to sin. God could not possibly sin. Yet, Jesus Christ was tempted in every way as we are, and if we claim He could not have sinned, we deny the reality of His temptation and His overcoming it.
Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be tempted—therefore, the Trinity theory is false.
Check this out here, He says here
Deut 6:16
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God,
as ye tempted him in Massah.
You aren't supposed to "tempt Him" as they "tempted Him". The way is worded, it doesn't mean he tempted by them or evil, but rather he was being put to the test (or tried) being tempted by them.
Jesus is actually called a "tried" stone. That would require "being tried", or tested
Isaiah 28:16
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone,
a tried stone, a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
And we see the Spirit purposely driving him into a place to be tested worded this way.
Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus
led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness
to be tempted
of the devil.
Jesus isn't tempted of "evil", but is being tested/tempted by "the evil one"
He is actually called "
the tempter" thats what he does,
Mat 4:3
And when the tempter came to him, he said,
If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
The Spirit is purposefully leading Jesus into a place where he can be tried Jesus by being the tempted of Satan, (who is the tempter). But this, in the sense of whether that thing can be done.
Jesus is a "tried" not untried stone.
Same sort of thing with Jobs temptations by Satan (as were permitted by the LORD)
In Job 2:4 Satan hedges his bets against Job (more then once) but just one for an example
Job 2:4 Satan an answered the LORD, and said,
Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
He tries to move the LORD against Job saying, "But put forth
thine hand now, and
touch his bone and his flesh,
and he will curse thee to thy face"
This temptation of Satan is to get Job to curse God to his face, and this temptation will be delivered into Job's flesh. His intention is made clear to us. Job is "being tempted" in his flesh toward that effect (to curse God)
The LORD gives Job
into his hand for this temptation with his own conditions.
Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan,
Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
Job 2:7 So went
Satan forth from the presence of the LORD,
and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Then it says,
Job 2:8 And
he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and
he sat down among the ashes.
And after the delivery of this affliction into Job's flesh Satans voice can be heard coming in through his wife's voice (she too is Job's flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone) and in Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?
curse God, and die.
Unlike Adam who listened to the voice of his wife in the garden (who was listening to the serpent and being used as tool ) Job does not listen to his wfe
Job 2:10 But he said unto her,
Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
That situation reminds me a little of this (and his wife being the one taken by him at his will) in that
2 Ti 2:25-26 In
meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;And
that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who
are taken captive by him at
his will.
Its the same sort of thing as with Simon
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said,
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat
Luke 22:32 But
I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (See 1 Peter 1:6 where he is doing just this)
It's the "trying of" their faith. Jesus is the power of God (he prays for his faith) and so are being kept by the power of God through faith in these temptations.
Jesus is being tempted by these serpents after this manner
Mat 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him,
tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him
Luke 11:16
And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up,
and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 11:53 And
as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
Luke 11:54
Laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Heb 4:15 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.
Heb 12:3 For
consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4
Ye have not yet
resisted unto blood,
striving against sin.
