@limmuwd welcome to CC
i listened to a few of your ramblings today on my commute. there were a couple points i wanted to bring up; i'll start with this one and let's see where it goes?
you said Jesus overcame by not ever giving in to temptation - you said, this is how He overcame -- but this is not how one overcomes; it is how one withstands. if you face an enemy with your sword and you parry each of his attacks, you haven't yet overcome him; you have only withstood his onslaught. if an archer stands in his parapet firing arrows at you and you raise your shield and block them all, the archer is not overcome; he is merely stymied.
