Book and verse of the temptation of Christ?
476527
The story of Jesus' temptation by Satan is told in three of the gospels. Matthew and Luke tell the whole story (of three specific temptations)  See:\nMatthew 4:1-11,  Mark 1:12-13,  Luke 4:1-13  \n\n(Notice that Luke ends with the suggestion that Satan would return to tempt Jesus again later, so it does not mean that these passages are NOT telling us that this was the ONLY time Jesus was tempted!)\n\nThere are also other New Testament passages that say something about the temptation of Christ;\n\n1) Jesus suggests that Satan is tempting him through Peter's words when, after Jesus has announced his own coming death, Peter says "No Lord!"  Jesus rebukes him is strong terms saying, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man."   This is told of in two of the gospels:\nMatthew 16:21-23,  Mark 8:31-33\n\n2) The letter to the Hebrews teaches about the importance of Jesus being tempted so that he can be a perfect high priest for us, knowing what it is like for us to be tempted, and how to overcome temptation.\nsee especially Hebrews  2:17-18,  4:14-16

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."  (Proverbs 23:7)\n\nOne can't prevent urges as much as what causes the urges.  All urges begin in the mind...with a thought.\n\n“Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life”.  (Proverbs 4: 23)\n\nHow does one "guard" their heart?   "Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)\n\nOne walks in the Spirit by filling their heart and mind with good things, especially the Word of God.\n\n“Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” (Psa. 119:11) \n\nThe Word will transform the mind and cause a change in thinking.  \n\n"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  (Romans 12:1-2)\n\nHaving a renewed mind will help one think on the right things.\n\n"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."  (Phil. 4:8) \n\nAlso, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."  (Phil. 2:5)\n\n"I will set no wicked thing before my eyes"  (Psalm 101:3)  \n\nXXX-rated movies, R-rated movies, and other forms of pornography are not options if we want to obey God.\n\nIf scripture is heeded, one can actually change and renew their mind so that sexual urges do not dominate the thought life and other actions associated with these urges take over like a domino effect.  \n\nRemember, Potiphers wife grabbed Joseph to pull him into her bed.  What did he do?  He got the heck out a there!  He ran.  He overcame temptation by fleeing.  \n\nSo, we are what we think, according to Proverbs.  The Word of God can change our thinking.  We can walk in the Spirit, and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh by doing so.  Walking in the Spirit entails reading and studying scripture and allowing it to be the guide for our thoughts and actions.

Yes.  I would suggest reading James 3.  As Jesus said to the Pharisees:\n\nMatthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.\n 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.\n 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.\n 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Interesting question.\n\nYes, to be truly human, Christ experienced TEMPTATION. But temptation doesn't have to come in 38 flavors and colors, it just has to be temptation. For example, Satan tempted Christ with power (all this can be yours), and tempted him to tempt God (jump down and let God save you)--these were temptations documented in the Bible. And he was probably tempted in the end ("Let this cup pass from me") to not go through with being crucified, but he prayed "let it be Thy will" --in other words, Christ was tempted but resisted the human feeling to avoid the horrible fate on the Cross.\n\nSo it isn't necessary to experience EVERY temptation, just some of them, because temptation is temptation, no matter if it's your neighbor's wife, ox, your neighbor himself or being tempted to rule the Earth. \n\nIn the same vein, SIN is sin, whether it's stealing penny candy or murdering someone. Since God is perfect, and we are not, we have to be forgiven of sin to come in His presence (hence the quote in the Bible that the best of our deeds is as "dirty rags" to God, who is perfect.) Who among us is perfect? No one. We all do wrong, and that is why we have to confess our sins to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. It all makes sense if you think about it.\n\nChrist was our  Redeemer, paying with his blood for all of our sins. He was the perfect Sacrifice, standing in our place because we are humans who sin and cannot follow God's law perfectly.  But if we ask for God's forgiveness and believe in Christ, we are offered eternal life with God (John 3:16) which says\n"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life."

Like you the Gospel of Thomas would probably be at the top of the list.  I would add the Gospel of Mary and parts of the book of Epiphanius (specifically book 33 of The Medicine Chest).  I also skimmed the Malleus Maleficarum if that counts.\n\nInteresting Question, I hope you get some more answers.\n\nRegards,\nArmus

I did a bunch of searches on google and on bartleby.com (an excellent reference site that has an entire section on verse). the closest thing I could find was this passage from the bible: \n\nNUMBER:1316\nQUOTATION:Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.\nATTRIBUTION:Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 6:19-21.\n \nDo you remember where you saw or heard the poem? That might help a bit.

I am a member of Christian of Texas. I enjoy reading the daily digest that is sent to me. My 360 link is http://360.yahoo.com/brickcollecter and my favorite scripture is John 3:16 because it explains our entire plan of salvation in one, simple verse. Too many think that it has to be hard to be saved, that you have to prove something. You don't, it's a gift from God, you only have to accept it and declare it! God bless you.
