Only Jesus could answer that. But the results are clear.

interesting question. Is it really temptation if there is but one possible outcome?
-
The point is clear to me - he did have that choice and he chose not to go down that path. He had as many choice as us - he just chose the upper path.

Another nonsensical contradiction.....but theologists and believers will always find an answer that will fit. If the answer doesn't make any sense to you....you have to accept it "by faith".....

God has the choice and the power to do Good or Evil in every instance. We love, trust and follow him because he always CHOOSES to do good. . If he had no choice, he would not be good, just as water is not "good" because it runs down hill rather than up hill.

Jesus is NOT God himself... God [ Jehovah / Exodus 6;3 ] is the one who spoke out of heaven when Jesus was baptised... (Mark 9:7) And a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved; listen to him.”

It makes more since to me that he wasn't God but was filled with God. When asked he says he is son of Man. Daniel has a reference of a son of Man that was in the fire with Daniel's three friends. This is also what the book of Enoch talks about. He was human but yet something more or we could have done what ever his mission was.

Christians know that God will not do bad. http://bible.cc/job/34-12.htm Surely, the leader of the demons knows that also, as although they rebelled, they know God. http://bible.cc/james/2-19.htm They also know that God cannot be tempted. http://bible.cc/james/1-13.htm
