Genesis 22
Abraham Tested
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.
When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;—James 1:13
To the best of my knowledge, what I provided was the King James translation of the text. I picked that because I've seen BigDaddyBuk insist on it in other threads recently. Why, I don't know, since it is one of the more obviously man-crafted and refutable versions, but that is why I used that version.
Re: James 1:13...
#1. The fact that "God cannot be tempted by evil" is irrelevant and doesn't add anything to the statement. Obviously, we are not Gods and would work on a different standard.
#2 Following point 1, you are left with When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God does not tempt anyone. That's a truism. Nobody should say God is tempting me because God doesn't tempt anyone.
#3 If God doesn't tempt anyone, why does the statement begin with the words "When tempted"??? That's totally illogical and contradictory.
