The only difference is that God asked Abram to do MORE than just bow-down  :notworthy:

There's also the fact that God said it would be good for ALL FAMILIES (not just Abram himself) if Abram followed God's instructions.

Anything else ???

Jesus came thru Abrams seed.God told Abram the human race would be blessed thru that seed.Otherwise mankind is doomed from the start cos of Adamic sin.

Remember judgement God told Satan in Eden,"he will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heal"That seed was Jesus.

God will keep his promise to Abram and the Devil will not keep his promise to Jesus.

Yeah,the Devil's promise was hollow (it always is) since he had not the power to give Him all that he showed Him.(It was not his to give in the first place!)

Well we see Satan told the first lie.He told Eve,"you positively wont die".

Sadly Eve believed him and persuaded Adam to follow her dooming the human race......cos they died and so do humans from inherited sin.But Jesus balanced the scales of justice laying down his perfect human life to save the human race and break up the works of the devil showing under more adverse and trying trials A&E could have loved and been obedient to God.

But isn't he "the prince of the power of the air"? And what is 'ownership of a kingdom' if not 'power of the air'?

But didn't the fate of Lot's wife (who turned into a pillar of salt when she turned back to see the fate of the land she was leaving) teach us not to look on past situations like that? (i.e. not to hold past sins against present beings)?

Satan is called "god" over the world,but that doesn't give him the actual powers of God.It reflects the world,by and large choosing him (whether they realize it or not) over God.People's "god" is whatever they worship,be it an idol,their gold or appetite.

Satan has been allowed to be god of this current system.Remember he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world for an act of worship.Jesus didn't dispute that.He told him to go away and that his father was TRUE God.
