There were times when satan really tried to kill CHRIST. There was a time when it may seem that he came close. That the believers paniced.

If you think that the goal of Saten in suggesting that JC throw himself from the parapet of the temple was to kill him, I respectfully suggest that you have seriously misunderstood the whole point of the episode.

If he told Christ to jump off the roof, how is that trying to kill him?

Wouldn't that be Christ suiciding?

If l tell you too jump off a cliff (and you do) that makes you guilty of stupidity, but l would not be guilty of murder. Unless of course you were under duress...

this is clearly an example where satan is tempting jc. but i don't see how he is necessarily trying to kill jc.

Let's go back to the first time. Matthew chapter 2. What would you call when Herod sent Soldiers to Bethlehem to kill all boy babies under the age of two.

was this not during the first days of CHRIST'S birth. When GOD told Joseph to go to Egypt. To keep Herod from killing the baby.
