He made a deal. Not the deal it is said others make, but a deal nonetheless.
A deal to what?
The Accuser, the Slanderer, the Adversary, the Prosecutor. He rejected the plea bargain and made His own deal.
What deal?
Read Matthew out in the hall and get back with the class.
Sorry, I don't read israeli fairytales
Your wording is terrible. Satan attempted to make a deal and Lord Yeshua refused.
He went to a desert because it is a place of rest
> two single men left alone on the desert for 40 days
well what do you think happened?
You mean Jesus and Satan. Lucifer is a completely different entity.
Man must integrate his shadow, his inner darkness, aka satan, in order to fully realize his intrinsic light. It's not as deep as you think it is. It is simply necessary to confront your demons on the path to actualization, for without experiencing your full breadth of good and evil, how can you be complete? You must descend to hell in order to spread your wings.
This. Christ was actually tempted his entire life (they tried to make him feel superior to other life forms by calling him king, fluffing up his ego, bringing gifts, etc.,) and he overcame it all the time because he knew the assignment and who/what he was. The trial in the desert is symbolic of his whole life, and of anyone else who wants the Truth.
You must navigate through this illusory realm as Christ did, and that includes "Satan" being on your ass almost all the time until you get your eyes and ears.
Good post. Thanks bronon
Read zechariah.
Faster for 40 days and nights and the devil tempted him. That’s all I know
