The chosen representative of the most powerful being that has ever or will ever exist..

"The lord helps those who help themselves," The pope muses aloud, as the glass is splintered by incoming rifle rounds. "And I'm feeling real fuckin' helpful."

"Enlighten 'em up!" He commands his security details. And with a flourish he swings the MG2 .50 calibre machine gun from beneath his white cloak, cranks the charging handle on the weapon, and begins returning fire.

tl;dr: Matthew 4 covers that by saying don’t do stupid soot to test God

Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”
