Long time I wondered why Christ was tempted: (Heb. 4:15) “For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.”

God cannot be tempted and Christ is an image of God.

A few minutes ago I’ve understood this: He was tempted not with the purpose to make Him himself to take a right decision (He always makes right decision). He was tempted with the purpose that others (people, angels, whoever) would see His reaction to a temptation.

In other words, He was tempted to set the world right about responses to temptations, so that others would learn from Him.

I have added an interpretation of 1Tim. 1:1 and Rom. 8:24 to God compared with a civilization theological article (see chapter 10).

I state that Christ is hope/dream and that our salvation consists of dreams.

Read more in the article.

(1Tim. 1:1) “… Christ Jesus our hope”. I would translate instead “… Christ Jesus our dream”.

What is a dream? It is the best we can imagine of. So Christ Jesus is the best we can imagine of.

This is twofold:

1. First this means that Christ is good and nothing we imagine can be better than Him.
2. Second this means, that our common imagination is good enough to attain Christ.

Also: (Rom. 8:24) “… we were saved in hope …” or “… we were saved in dream …”. It means that our salvation consists of dreams (like as a table consists of atoms). It also means that our dream (the best we can hope for) is exactly what we will become when our salvation is accomplished. We will be exactly what we hope to be.

The first draft of the article “God compared with a civilization” put online. In this article I compare God with a highly developed technological civilization. God is studied following this analogy (and Bible). Using this analogy certain mysteries such as Holy Trinity become clear.

(Jn. 10:16) I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

Traditionally this is interpreted as Christ saving not only Jews but also gentiles (other sheep). But I believe it also means that there are aliens not from this fold that is not from this planet.

There are also an other verse which signifies that aliens exist:

(Mt. 23:37) “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!.

Her wings signifies wings of Christ that is wings of flying machines which belong to aliens which belong to Christ.

Christ many times wanted to gather people under the wings of his flying machines, but people would not.

Let’s wait for the second come of Christ when he will bring His wings to the Earth.

Ancient Arians and modern Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that Christ is not God but a finite creature. They lack bold arguments supporting their opinion. We infer from Bible that Christ is God. Well, there are one exception: Mark 13:32. Its naive interpretation looks like a very strong argument supporting the position that Christ does not know all and therefore is not God.

Well, the verse with the issue (Mr. 13:32) “But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” states that Son (that is Christ) does not know the day or hour of the Second Come of Christ. Isn’t it a very strong argument in regard of the position of Arians and Jehovah’s Witnesses?

As I assert in the book End of Gospel, Gospel is tricky and we should know a trick to properly understand it.

The answer is that Christ knows all except of He does not know Himself. The time of Second Come depends on Christ and Christ does not know things dependent on Himself.

This is supported by Bible: (Mt. 11:27) “… No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” So Son (Christ) is known only by the Father not known by anyone else including Himself. Christ does not know Christ. When saying that Christ knows all, I mean that He knows all except of Himself (that is except of His own decisions). The time of Second Come is dependent on a decision of Christ and Christ does not know His decision ahead of time. This is meant saying that Christ does not know the time of His Second Come.

So, OK, Christ knows all about the world but does not know ahead His own decision about the time of Second Come.
