mark03 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I know this may seem a strange request, but who tested God in the bible? I think someone was going to jump off a cliff or something, to see whether God would save his life? References/quotes from the Bible would help. Thanks in advance, mark03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, mark03 do you mean when Satan was trying to tempt Jesus during his 40? days in the desert? (or something like that) It would probably be in Mathew Mark Luke or John somewhere. hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't explain it that well but I get what you mean. You'd be more likely to find something in the Old Testament than the New Testament, if that helps. Your request sounds more like the fire and brimstone stuff of the Old Testament rather than the love thy neighbour stuff of the New Testament.

ThaOddie Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I think God (I don't see him as an almighty person living above us somewhere in the sky, but as an energy out of which we, or better said EVERYTHING in the universe, are made off) never asked us to read and live by the bible. Religion is made up by humans, believe is something allmost everybody feels inside themselves. So I think testing God is really testing yourself!!!

Fred Derf Veteran Posted July 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 20, 2004 Luke 4:12 "The Temptation of Jesus" I think he wants an example where GOD played a active role. In your example, the Devil plays and active role and Jesus keeps his faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioboy Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 satan tempted jesus during his 40 days in the desert, telling him to throw himself off the cliff and the Lord will send his angels to rescue him Or... perhaps you're thinking of Job? Job was a man dedicated to God, and Satan challenged God to smite him and see if he stayed loyal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, mark03 I honestly don't beleive in god. My mother looks after a old lady who is paralysed. What has god done for the old lady? She sits in bed every day, wishing she could walk like every one else. She has been christian for the whole of her life and god has not done a thing. Explain this, all you god lovers. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain this, all you god lovers. :crazy: I'm not religious, but my opinion of being religious is that you believe in your own heart doing good deeds and helping others, and to love others, sure reality can be harsh sometimes, but in that old lady's case, she've been a christian for the whole of her life, and she's prolly spend her time caring others and loving the others, tho something bad like this happened, your mom is there to take care of her and help her, and she have people like you who shows care about her too, that's what it matters now. I don't really care if god existed, and I doubt he can help everyone, but it's just a belief that gets you through tough times in your life.

mr.phrodo Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I think you are refering to Gideon, who 'tested' God by asking Him to show that He would use Gideon to rescue the people of Israel. Gideon asked God to make a wool fleece wet and the surrounding ground dry, and the next day to make the fleece dry and the ground dry. I found it for you here Judges 6:36-39.
