@mimorinka @Omega_Variant @latein >even a most faithful person couldn't stand against fear of hunger
Speaking for myself, I think that was part of the point. Hebrews 4:15 says "we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin". This is a reassurance to me. If I am hungry, even if I starve to death in the wilderness, I will know that I am not outside God's care.
From another perspective, I can never say "I am suffering. God has never known what it is to suffer like this, because whenever he was hungry he turned rocks to bread. He does not understand the difficulty of what he asks of me. He is an unjust God, and he is treating me unjustly, he is not worthy of my worship". Jesus does know what it is like to suffer, and to bear it far better than I.
If you have not read it, you may be interested in Dostoevsky's "The Grand Inquisitor", which includes a lot about the temptations. He argues that Christ's rejection of the temptations was related to the "freedom" aspect of salvation, and that the salvation Christ offers us is better than what would have come through accepting the temptations.

>> Dostoevsky's "The Grand Inquisitor"
can't deny that I really impacted about this book.
to know, still wondering that Jesus offer about heaven and salvation.
if there is no war, suffer, every kind of pain won't be existed there, how could we make progress? how could we living up there for better life?

@mimorinka @latein @Omega_Variant @halberd can't you just ask amida? he's offering similar things.

@latein ah
I was in Catholic school once but I wasn't a religious type at all,
when I was 20 was I invited to coversion to Catholic from director but I refused .
I couldn't think that we're all sinner from born and we have to repent and redeem for things I haven't done yet.
but sins.. sins what I've done..
oh I have question for Catholic people which I always wanted to ask.
Why Jesus didn't turn rock to bread? that wasn't just simple asking, Demon asked Jesus that "Can you save people by your miracles?" Jesus refused it so instead of given the breads by Jesus himself , people had to begging a bread to church.
why didn't he do that?

I assume you are referring to Matthew 4:1-4?
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Jesus didn't turn the stone into bread for the simple fact that Jesus was fasting. He had been fasting for 40 days, so he had to be extremely hungry. This was a attempt to get Jesus to give in. As it says in the first verse, he was led there to be tempted. Everything thrown at him was a temptation to get him to serve himself and/or the devil.
>Demon asked Jesus that "Can you save people by your miracles?" Jesus refused it so instead of given the breads by Jesus himself , people had to begging a bread to church.
why didn't he do that?
I am not sure what the rest of the statement you are referring to is can you clarify what verse you are talking about?
Jesus never refused to feed anyone. He fed thousands two different times, one was 4000 the other 5000 that we know of with an amount of food that wouldn't have normally be sufficient for a handful of people.

@latein @Omega_Variant almost same statements with latein, thank you.
I didn't state that Jesus refused to feed people, I just said "Jesus refused to turn the stone into bread" and he replied "Man shall not live by bread alone" but actually people need a bread for live, but he choosed to be a sacrifice for God for repent our sins and he left .
why? even a most faithful person couldn't stand against fear of hunger so we're all forced to pretending that living with the word of God . why Jesus refused the tempter, I can't say the same for starving children in 3rd world country

From what I've heard Japan is hard ground to work in, I came across missionaries who were there for 10 years before they had one convert.
