Description
Summary:The article discusses the Bible verse Matthew 4:1-11 which is about putting tests on love. It says that the problem expands if everyone considers the miracle stories of the scriptures uncritically and unhistorically, outside the allegorical context in which they were realized. Accordingly, love cannot be legitimized by testing. It adds that all are in a loving relationship with God who gives love beyond anything that can be imagined.
