Analysis
Jesus is tempted by the devil, which is not applicable to an all good, all powerful God.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
Jesus was tempted in his human nature but did not sin; this demonstrates his ability to sympathize with human weakness.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
God cannot be tempted by evil; Jesus being tempted shows he is not God.
