 To Victor and all:

 While I was working on my response to Susan last night concerning Abraham I
came upon this apparent contradiction in the Bible. The following 2 verses I
have quoted below seem to have opposite views on  temptation.

Here it says God tempteth no man:

(James 1:13 KJV)  "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted OF
God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he ANY
man:"

Yet here we see Abraham was tempted by God:

(Gen 22:1 KJV)  "And it came to pass after these things, that God DID
tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I
am."

I have my own explanation for this but feel it's rather weak.

God Bless, Ed
