I really like these verses because it really shows how manipulative Satan really is– so much to the point he even tried to manipulate Jesus. Just makes you think of how much he manipulates us as simple minded human beings. Sheesh.
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil.2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Dear Klei,
Can I just say, I’m incredibly impressed with how consistent you guys are with your Don’t Starve art. It’s not redundant by any means, every single time you guys post new canon work I learn something new about EVERYBODY! The care and attention to detail you put into the updates for every season is much appreciated and we love you!!
what are your thoughts on homosexuality and gay marriage? aren’t christians supposed to hate them?
Not even close! Christians are not called to hate ANYBODY. Proverbs 10:12 – Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs and 1 John 2:11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Instead, rathermore, we are instructed to LOVE everybody.
Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves and
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.You see, Christians may not agree with homosexuality/LGBT, but that does NOT mean they hate them. As stated in the verses above, we are called to show EVERYBODY love and restrain from hatred, wrath, violence, etc.
There are many extremist Christians, however, who have made a bad name for the majority of Christians. Some are extremely violent and aggressive towards gays, persecuting them and just being overall jerks. Please keep in mind that is NOT the way a real Christian acts!!! I have discussed these things with three different local pastors of mine, and they all told me the same thing: We are to treat the LGBT community with love, respect and kindness, just as we do with any other human being on the planet.
So, to sum it up; Christians are NOT, I repeat, NOT supposed to hate LGBT members/supporters, and they are NOT supposed to hate anybody in general. They are supposed to love everyone, and share God’s joy and hope.
As a Christian, I hold these beliefs, yes. But, just as I mentioned above, I may not support LGBT, BUT that doesn’t mean I hate them. No no no! I have many LGBT friends, as I said, and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. They are WONDERFUL!! I will love everyone just as God has loved me. And believe me, He loves EVERYBODY, no matter what your sexuality, gender, race, or whatever is. He loves you, and I do too!
