podcast 392 – Jesus’ Temptations and Ours – Part 2 – Things Apologists Say
Update: 2025-09-08
Description
<figure class="alignright size-large is-resized">
</figure>Both of the arguments below are valid. But which one is sound? (By the definition of validity it’s impossible that both are sound.)
Argument #1:
- God can’t be tempted.
- Jesus was tempted.
- Therefore, Jesus is not God
Argument #2:
- God can’t be tempted.
- Jesus is God.
- Therefore, Jesus was not tempted.
In this talk I argue that Scripture requires that we endorse the first argument as sound.
I then interact with a bunch of standard, what I call “canned,” answers that apologists dish out on these topics.
Here is the video version from 21stcr.org.
