Listen "Matthew 4:1-11 Q&A with Carl Matthei"
Episode Synopsis
Would Jesus have been tempted as a man or as God, since he is both? How would I respond if a friendsays it would ahve been easy for him to overcome temptation as God's son, when I know that isn't true?
Karl mentioned this at the end of TBT: If the world is enslaved to sin and the devil, who is in control? God or Satan? What are the implications for us who are saved, yet still tempted?
Was it wrong for the OT kings, judges, prophets to "test" God for asking for a sign? But often the OT doesn't portray as wrongful/sinful. Pls help
About testing: Mal. 3:10 talks about God saying to Israel "put me to the test..." IS this just hypothetical or God's command to the Israelites as they turn and repent from their sin/rebellion/adultery? God says he'll bless them and throw open the flood gates of heaven! Hyerbole? Prophecy? A command? Or is it God being boldly confident in how he can bless us?
How can we help ourselves and others talk about our embarrassing and shameful sins - such as lust/pornography?
How can we make this something we can keep checking in with follow Christians on?
