Question: In James 1:13, we read that God tempts no man. Yet, in Genesis 22:l it says, "God did tempt Abraham." Can you explain what appears to be a contradiction? Answer: First, let us realize this is NOT a contradiction! The Bible NEVER contradicts itself! (John 10:35.) In James 1:13-14 God says He tempts no man, but "every MAN is tempted, when he is drawn away of HIS OWN LUST." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
