I'd rather go hungry . . .

Pastor Alex Kurz:

You know what the problem of the God of the Christian Bible is in relationship to all the religions of the world? The religions of the world have the same concept of God that Satan does, so when the religious system starts talking about God, all they’re doing is repeating Satan’s concept of God—a God who always has his wishes satisfied, always gratified. If you study the religion of Islam, Allah gets whatever he wants.

The God of the Christian Bible says, I’d rather go hungry.

Jesus Christ answered Satan, saying, "But it is written, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeeth out of the mouth of God." Christ is demonstrating what Paul says in Philippians 2: "He made himself of no reputation."

God says, I’ll starve. What kind of God is that?! What kind of God says, I’d rather go hungry; I’d rather not be self-gratified?! And here’s the devil whose plan of rebellion is: Listen, God can have whatever He wants—He has a right to!

Jesus Christ, as the true God-man, is demonstrating something about the character which defies human logic.
