why did Satan use scripture?
Answers
Answer:
In the passage Satan used Scripture for his own devilish purposes. He tried to manipulate Jesus into claiming a promise of God in a way it wasn’t intended. Jesus had just asserted His faith and dependence on the Father by refusing to turn stones to bread. So Satan tried a reverse tactic and in effect said, “OK, so you want to prove you are dependent on the Father? Jump and let Him protect you! God’s Word says you can.”
Satan was using the authority of Scripture to suggest Jesus would be justified in risking His life arbitrarily and then expecting God to protect Him. The Devil’s tactic here was to purposely set one Scripture against another, stressing one passage and disregarding others that should go with it.
