Default Was Christ ever tempted?

I started reading a book that said he was not and it is blasphemy to say he was~
I don't believe it.
I believe God wanted his son to feel the temptations of life as a witness to us.
What do you believe?
I know that he never sinned!
Don't you think he felt everything that we feel as human beings?

Yes! Jesus was tempted...he was tempted three times... when the devil told him to make those stones into bread, to jump so that the angels could save him, and also something else. Also Jesus was in the flesh and blood just like us ofcourse he felt everything we felt. The why he is the perfect sacrafice..he endured everything we are and have gone through and still remain Righteous and holy!

Luv ya Violet!

I think Matthew 4 (and other Gospels) pretty well sums it up:

Quote:
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
I believe, though not 100%, that Mormonism proposes that God cannot be tempted. I'm not sure what book you're reading, but it seems completely contradictary to the Gospels.

According to James 1:13, God (the Father) cannot be tempted. God the Son, however, was tempted; for his flesh was subject to the same passions as ours. I don't think Mormonism rejects this. Early Mormon leaders taught that the Lord was married to three women. They also believe God the Father was tempted, and was even a sinner, back when he lived on another planet as a mortal man.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (New King James Version)



14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Though fully God Jesus walked as a man to give an example of what we could do if we walk totally submited to the Fathers will and moving only at the Holy Spirits direction and by His power- so of course He was tempted but He never stumbled, not even once

Yes, I do KNOW he was tempted because the Bible says so.
I wanted to see what others would say because even an elder at the church we occasionally go to said Christ was not tempted!

If the bible says it is, it is. You can stop thinking then, the other person isn´t right if he says something, that contradicts the bible. Remember that.

Reminds me of a saying I read somewhere:
The Bible said it, I believe it, that settles it.
