[QUOTE="Steven Bobb, post: 30767959, member: 736329"] When Jesus was in the wilderness being tempted by the devil,the devil tried to prod Him to jump off the temple, quoting a Scripture noting that the Father would protect Him .But Jesus answered,"It is also written,"You shall not tempt the Lord your God".That in mind,I would say that using our protection to "show off" is not something that's "the way". Like, there are churches where they dance around with poisonous snakes. If a Christian does a "daring" thing with the intent of showing off, like laying on the train tracks when a train is coming, going up to the head of the Mafia and daring him to send guys with machine guns after them, just for intent of "showing off", and we don't have Gods instructions to do so in that particular case,wouldn't that be wrong intent, and in fact, tempting God?Because didn't Jesus answer the devil when the devil said, throw yourself off the temple,"It is also written, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God".A Point?
