How Jesus (pbuh) was tested and how satan
tried to tempt him

The Gospel explicitly describes how Jesus was a human being
tested by God. It is absolutely out of the question for a human being

who is tested by God to also be God (surely God is beyond that). It is
impossible for someone who satan tried to lead away from the true
path to possess such a characteristic. God reveals in the Gospel how Je-
sus was a human being who was tested by and served Him:
[Jesus:] "You are those who have stood by me in my trials." (Luke 22: 28)
The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the
kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, "I will give you all their au-
thority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone
I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours." Jesus answered, "It is
written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" (Luke 4: 5-8)
When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an oppor-
tune time. (Luke 4: 13)

The fact that Jesus (pbuh) was born without
a father is no evidence for the Trinity; the
Prophet Adam (pbuh) was also born with no

mother or father

Trinitarian Christians point to the miraculous birth of Jesus with-
out a father as supposed evidence for their claims. The fact is, howev-
er, that they never think, while regarding this as very powerful evi-
dence, that the Prophet Adam was born without either a mother or a
father. The Prophet Adam was created in paradise with no natural
cause or intermediary, simply by God commanding him to "Be!" Such
an act of creation is surely even more miraculous, yet no Christian has
ever attributed divinity to the Prophet Adam. This way of thinking
