I would submit to 19236....
in a most repectful manner, that at the final temptation of Yeshua, that being the offering of the world and it's kingdoms, Yeshua was speaking of Himself when he told Satan (for lack of a better name) "do not tempt the Lord, Your God". Since I started reading the bible a few years back (although I've loved God all my life) I've always taken this to be Yeshua basically saying that HE was sick of Satan tempting (greek word testing) Him, for HE was God, through whom ALL was created. Even God has his limits, in the flesh or otherwise. Jsut ask them dudes in the temple : ) You notice we do not hear from the snake after that. As far as belief goes, most people are mad at themselves in our society. We have it all here in America. We all know about the sick, needy and dying across the globe, and I personally believe one of the greatest gifts God can give to us is that we truly awaken to the calling that you so often (somewhat) quote, "Know you not that you are Gods?" Yet, that IS the cross we carry every day. The war goes on. We nightmare most of these problems up, giving satan his power, and our loving God allows us to dream them away. I tell you what, I was a mental mess when I "blew out" my back. But the truth speaks always. All she asks is an audience, and the truth told me my back was fine, UNLESS I let them chop me up. I gotta quit, as I get literally so mad at the fact they drugged me and tried to tear me apart AGAIN!!!!
Peace,
