Both of the arguments below are valid. But which one is sound? (By the definition of validity it’s impossible that both are sound.)

Argument #1:

1. God can’t be tempted.
2. Jesus was tempted.
3. Therefore, Jesus is not God

Argument #2:

1. God can’t be tempted.
2. Jesus is God.
3. Therefore, Jesus was not tempted.

In this talk I argue that Scripture requires that we endorse the first argument as sound.

I then interact with a bunch of standard, what I call “canned,” answers that apologists dish out on these topics.

Here is the video version from 21stcr.org.
