Mmmm...
Please explain what you meant...
Seriously I see a deviation from the classical definition of temptation.
To tempt means to entice to evil.
Jesus was subject to such enticement i.e. He was tempted. This does not mean He sinned - rather He resisted the temptation He was subject to.
The true definition of temptation does not carry over into succumbing.
Succumbing to temptation is a sin, being tempted is not.
You cannot recconcile the act of the devil tempting Jesus and Jesus not being tempted at the same time?
Lets say you hated almonds and coconut. You are led by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil (but he is trying to tempt you with Almonds and coconut) you resist the devil (away from me Satan).
Were you tempted by the devil, or was the devil tempting you with what you cannot be tempted by?
