Galatians 6:7 'Be not decived; God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Ids there a period after the owrd mocked? or a colon?
The first part of this verse makes a statement: God is not mocked. And, if this is all therewere, then this would be a general Statement, as oyu think it i, however, the writer then goe son to explain and define in deatial, that statement...
The writer was correcting those who were saying that the church mis-represents God. The writer said that if this is so, then it is a mockery of God. BUt the mockery of God is not there, because a man sows what he reaps.. ie, people who say they are christians, but do not live a christian life, are not truly Christians. If they were, then it ouwld be a mockery to GOd, but since a man sows what he reaps, is is said that he is not truly a Christian, and by this, God is not mocked.
"God is not mocked" is not a general statement in this verse.. it is a statement related to what follows it. God is not mocked, because a man sows what he reaps.
for God cannot be tempted with evil,
Jesus was a man. Fuly a man.. 100% As a man, Jesus was tempted, but as God He was not. Satan asked Jesus, as a man, to test God... but Jesus did not Test God. Jesu, the man, did not give into temptation, becasue Jesus, as God canot be tempted unto action. Satan proved the statement true.. Satan tried and failed to tempt God.
