If Adam and Eve were created in God's image, does that mean that God can be tempted by Satan too?

Question

Or was the bible lying about being created in his image?

Answer 1

Back from vacation I see!!

I'm likin the hat.

Answer 2

No because God created Satan. We don't really understand what that meant. Maybe it was our consious, bodies, etc, who knows?

And yes, it is very likely that the bible was lying. It is very much likely so that the people that wrote the bible wrote it in a way that appealed to the writer and its followers. Plus, when that story was told, it was told in oral tradition depending on how old it is. And a lot of the bible stories were adopted from other cultures during the time. And if that wasn't enough, the adam and eve story may not of even ever happened. It could of been just made up to give people answers.

Answer 3

OK let's rock. when he said in our image he was including all the heavenly host. Their image. So everyone who is on earth looks exactly like one of the heavenly host. In other words I / you look just like the body we had in heaven before your spirit was transferred to this body. So that said , you should understand that your image doesn't have anything to do with tempt-ability. No , Satan will not even try tempting God. The only reason Satan tried tempting Christ / God is he thought being in the flesh gave him an edge. Guess not HUH!

Answer 4

He already was!!! But ask Urself what could Satan tempt the God who made the whole Universie including Him Satan with??? Mark 1:13 says "And He (Christ) was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him." John

Answer 5

God created Man in His image, but Man are not God, they dont have the holiness of God. I could make a car model in the image of a car, but that doesnt mean i could drive the model car.

and Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan too, and overcame it.

Virtue is not being innocent, virtue is innocence tested.

PS - I notice in your questions you typically link everything to the word image. I hope you have since checked the meaning of the word 'image' in the dictionary.

Answer 6

First the image of God is reflected in man's creation being more than flesh but also having an eternal spirit. This is the image of our God, who is Father Son and Holy Spirit and they are one God. Satan did attempt to tempt God in the flesh, our lord Jesus Christ who did overcome temptation and sin and death for us all who accept his atonement.

Answer 7

In "His image " is speaking of three aspects of his being; that is the trinity. God is three persons--Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Man likewise has three aspects--physical body, soul, and spirit. We need to be careful in interpreting the bible. If we prayerfully read, I think God will reveal to us what His words mean.

Answer 8

Also there is an authenticated Hadith by our prophet Mohammed (PBUH) declaring the same thing. And the meaning of this could be, since there is no comparison between the creator and the creature, Allah can see, talk, hear...etc. also human can do that. The difference is that the Attributes of Allah is absolute and has no limit.

And Allah knows best

Answer 9

I haven't see this much dancing since I was at a night club. Everyone is dancing around the question.
No one is addressing the issue. Why do you tempt Christians with logic. They can not handle it.

Answer 10

Yes, Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert, but He "didn't" fall into the temptation

Answer 11

Our father in heaven created Satan and controls him so there is noway for him to be tempted. Also what would he tempt him with when he has it all and all is his?
