Featured Jesus is the new Jonah

Rather of the time in His burial, 1 Corinthians 15:4, ". . . And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . ."

 

So you actually have no text that states that Satan crushed the Lord Jesus. Thank you for making that clear.

 

It's nice that we can agree on that.

Nothing that God does can be unjust (eg. Deuteronomy 32:3-4). But there is Genesis 45:8, like a great big fat elephant sitting in your bathroom. "It was not you who sent me here, but God." How much more plain do you want the Scriptures to be? For His own high and perfect purposes God allows suffering for His people. Philippians 1:29 declares, 'For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.' The Greek word translated 'granted' is charizomai, from which we get the word charismatic. So suffering is a gift of God, a spiritual gift if you like. It's not the one that everybody wants, but the suffering of a Christian, nobly borne, can be very attractive to people outside the faith.
And the Lord Jesus accepted that suffering, not from Satan, but from the hand of God, saying, "If this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done" (Matthew 26:42).

 

Try not to be silly. Is it really your argument that Satan murdered our Lord's heel?

 

To paraphrase Mr. Benson,
"I know Jesus the Christ,
Jesus the Christ is a friend of mine,
Jonah is no Jesus the Christ.

 

Please state with clarity your view? I never disagree with Jesus's stated truths.
Jonah is no Jesus the Christ.

 

The proto-evangelion does not mean that Satan kills Christ.
The curse upon Satan starts in Genesis 3:14. '.... On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.' So the imagery of Genesis 3:14-15 is of the snake in the grass striking at the heel of the Seed, and of Him turning and stamping on the snake's head.
The Lord Jesus is driven (Mark 1:12) into the wilderness to face Satan as Adam should have faced him. Satan's temptation, as with Adam, is for Him to disobey God and do His own thing. Our Lord faced down Satan (Matthew 4:1-11), rejecting each temptation with a reference to obeying God. Then we read that, 'When the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time' (Luke 4:13; cf. John 14:30). When would be more opportune than just before Gethsemane? Satan enters into Judas Iscariot, causing our Lord to be 'troubled in Spirit' (John 13:21), Satan also leads Peter to deny Him, so that when they come to Gethsemane, knowing what will happen, Jesus declares, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death' (Mark 14:34). So now, Satan can really get to work on Him: "You don't have to go through with this; there has to be another way ........You are of equal deity to the Father; tell Him you won't do it ....... There has to be another way; listen to me, we'll sort something out." Even on the cross, Satan has the passers-by, the chief priests and the malefactors all telling Him not to go through with it; to come down from the cross (Mark 15:29-32). Satan knew that if Christ was obedient to the Father, even unto death (Philippians 2:8), he was defeated.
How our Lord actually stamps on Satan's head, I'm going to save for another thread, which I will try to post over the weekend.

 

There are differences. As Jesus was in the belly of the earth, that's a whale of a belly; while Jonah was just in the belly of a whale.

 

I thought the point, Jonah is no Jesus, was clearly stated.
What is the "analogy he [Jesus] draws between himself and Jonah? Please state with clarity your view?
1) Matthew 12:39, Matthew 16:4 and Luke 11:29: Jesus will demonstrate His Godly authority by rising from the grave after 3 days and 3 nights as Jonah did?
2) Matthew 12:41 and Luke 11:32: Jesus is greater than Jonah?

 

My post 23 did not question that Jesus indicated that one of His confirming miracles would be to arise after 3 days and 3 nights.

My post #35, provided three verses the same or similar to your quote.

Where is the beef?

 

The devil was a murderer from the beginning (John 8:44) when he brought about the deaths of Adam and Eve and all their progeny. Satan would have been very happy to see our Lord killed as a baby in Bethlehem, and perhaps equally happy to see Him killed before the end of His ministry. But do you think that the devil is so stupid that He didn't hear the Lord Jesus prophesy His death 'as a ransom for many' (Mark 10:45) and His resurrection at least three times?

I shall be interested to see your 'many texts' listed, and also any text that tells us that Satan intended to kill Christ after making Him give up His mission. Perhaps he would have done, but it is pure speculation.

 

You're supposed to be bright enough to see it, instead you stubbornly choose to keep disputing the scripture:

14 And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Gen 3

2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows` houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?
34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. Mt 23

3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn 8

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mt 3
