What Tree of Knowledge did Jesus have to be tempted by to be a “fully man”, yet ” fully God also”; when in fact it had been removed from earth?
Along with understanding the truth about certain phrases like “fully man”,
“and fully God” you have to unravel the twisted strains of other misunderstood scriptures wrapped around the truth that Jesus is God! Those additional phrases include The Sons of Men, the Sons of God and The Son of Man.
So the first thing we must unravel is the strain of understanding Adam and the second Adam. The first Adam (human)was made perfect (not born from a woman by procreation). He was not cursed as every other human is born a slave/child of Satan. No human is born into salvation. Every man inherits the sin of their father. Jesus explicitly explains that a man “must be born again to inherit the kingdom of God”. Without debating the Calvinist ideology of (T.U.L.I.P.), I will at this point state some more truths as to why they have it wrong from another perspective. Jesus told Adam and Eve that they needed a blood sacrifice to atone for their sins. Now, there is nothing but deductive reasoning that Adam and Eve will be in heaven as saved creatures; thus, based on Calvinism God should have had to start the blood sacrifice with Cain instead of Adam and Eve who would obviously not have to need it if they had been saved “before the foundation”! The only reason I mention this is to set your mind on the absolute very beginning of mankind and the fall of man. One man brought sin into the world for all and another Adam will be the savior and sacrifice for all men of the world. This is why Jesus is referred to as the second Adam. Along with the fact Jesus IS NOT FROM ANY HUMAN BEFORE HIMSELF EITHER! Many jumps to a conclusion that Adam is a human and thus the second Adam is through his literal blood through his descendants Moses and then literally Abraham; thus all rightly lining up as making him “Son of Man”. This is completely wrong on both accounts! Jesus is THE SEED OF GOD! HE MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AS GOD FIRST! THE MAN part of him for this part of the explanation goes no further than Jesus has flesh on him ” like a man”; or rather “LIKE A SON OF MAN”. He is NOT a literal son of any man! As a matter of more fact, this is why Jesus is actually described as in the “bloodline of Mary”(Mary’s father was David). So wouldn’t that make him a ” Son of Man”? No! The only reason, relationship or reference to David has to do with TYPOLOGY! There is no blood relationship!
So the early theologians making relationships with Satan trying to kill Adam’s second son (the second Adam) got really twisted with a combination of a few other incorrect discernments of scripture. Let me add the father of David is whom? Jesse; and his father Ohed; and his father Boaz and Ruth. And then up to Abraham, fourteen generations from Abraham. All of this is mentioned in Matthew 1. Why? It seems so apparent that all of these men coming from Abraham bring the “Son of Man”! But it actually has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
CHAPTER ONE of Matthew brings a completely different light that is not focused upon! The Catholics bring it to light and raise it to an elevation of diety significance which is wrong; but, it truly is the focus; Mary! Mary is a vessel used by God like Abraham and all other 14 generations. But nobody makes statues of each of them like Mary, why?
For some reason, the Catholics tied their need for Nuns and rose the woman of the bible to a level that put an ” equal to that of a “Son of Man” (completely a literal worldly gender equality issue)! If only the Catholics would have made Jesus God first and not as a man who had a gender identity of “Man” first(Gal. 3:28); I believe they would have gotten the true importance of Mary correct. God is using this entire chapter to show the only humans on earth worshipping him with high moral standards as it relates to the virginity and marriage principle between mankind and Jesus ( the veil typology, the hair covering typology, the innocence, and importance to being a virgin typology -not sexual but “a person who worships only one God is a virgin with God typology).
So what is chapter one of Matthew about? God is trying to show more typology completely being missed! Throw the bloodline opinions out because first of all Abraham is not a Jew. Abram was an “Adamite” who became Abraham after leaving false gods and the Tower of Babel. Abraham was considered as the first Hebrew. Judah, the great-grandson of Abraham is the one to be recognized as the first Jew (these new descendants of Abraham through Judah has to do with God’s covenant and the typology all through the rest of prophecy about obedience, prophecy, and a people group chose to declare the name of Jesus even when they reject him (which still happens today!). Abraham and Ruth and all Gentiles are ADOPTED into the Jew bloodline (Gal. 3:28)! So, the literal bloodline ideology is way off base with scripture in so many ways! “The Great Mystery” and the “rocks will rise up” are all OUTSIDE ANY LITERAL reality of the bloodline significance! The Jews, God’s “chosen people” reject Jesus because they still do not accept the “ADOPTION PRINCIPLE” and yet they still keep getting used as “the people hated because of their god”! So to sum up the first strain, the ” Son of Man” would be easier interpreted as Jesus is “like a man” because he was born with flesh through the woman.
Next, is the strain of confusion known as “The Sons of Men”. This is a complete reference to men born of men (the bloodline of Adam) inheriting sin and being thus sons of Satan at birth. Sons of Men is everybody except those who except God and the temporary blood atonement with the promises of one day having a new final sacrifice sufficient to cover all sins through Jesus becoming ” Sons of God”(thus no longer the Sons of Satan their first father). There is an absolute no chance of angels breeding with “Sons of Men” resulting in half-breed angelic beings called Sons of God! This might seem off subject a little but it is all about blood and bloodlines! So, that demonic ideology helped confuse and cover the truth of Jesus as God with more “HUMANESS instead of GODNESS!
NOW, you are presented with not a baby boy, but a baby God in a manger! Now, do you see why the kings came to WORSHIP A BABY? Jesus was God incarnate that became flesh. Many people get that sentence but everything above they are confused about; which now brings us to the Tree of Knowlege. So, who can God walking on the planet claim to be fully man when he did not experience the temptation in the garden like Adam and Eve with that dang tree? Gosh, the really good stuff now; the Bible teaches us the world, the flesh and Satan are equal foes. So was God fully man? What does it matter? Why couldn’t he just remain the God that is seen as the supernatural cloud of smoke or pillar of fire, or other things? Because God said he created us “in our image”. Next, God wants us to fellowship with him like in the first garden. Third, he wants us to see him as his deity as God the father is only a spirit form. God will be seating on the throne and we will be able to physically eat with him. Fourthly, God wants man to recognize that you will be able to walk up to him and ask him anything and he will be able to respond back to a human with the 100% truth of saying I understand, I know how hard it was, I was tempted by evil also, I had to trust just like you all (as a 100% human)! There was no Tree of Knowledge for me to be tempted by but I did allow Satan himself tempt me in an equivalent manner. I also allowed my flesh given me by Mary, as a soul with sinew, (referred to as a man) to be also be tempted in the garden ( The second garden called The Garden of Gethsemane). I allowed my flesh to be tempted to the same temptation that the first Adam was tempted; as he thought he could make his flesh a god equal to me. And I allowed my worldly flesh to succumb to the point of death but surrendered to the only God thus giving you an example of how “it could have been”. I, Jesus, am the better example of what to do as a human when you finally recognize there is only ONE GOD that could do the work you could not! I made the perfect example of surrendering to my spirit in heaven that came and demonstrated how I will save you by saving him from death that the first Adam denied I would do. I saved myself, by my spirit in heaven and not on this earth, so I could continue my destination joyfully sacrificing my blood for your wrongdoing. No man/human could be worthy of being the second Adam as many men continued to claim they will be.
