Wrong.
Agreed. But I believe that the men who wrote that said wrong. I believe they should have said tested.
Interestingly the Greek word for tempt (peirazó) is the same as test. The difference lies in the context and the motivation. That which Satan employs as temptation meant for evil destruction, God may permit as a test for our good to purify and strengthen us (Gen. 50:20). Why the difference? God’s purpose is not to harm, but to prove. God already knows our weaknesses, but testing reveals the areas where we need to improve in our reliance upon Him. When we do rely upon God, his power is also revealed to others through us.
Strongs: peirazó: To test, to tempt, to try, to examine
“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.” James 1:13 ESV
Mēdeis peirazomenos legetō hoti Apo Theou peirazomai ho gar Theos
apeirastos
No one being tempted let say - , By God . I am being tempted - For God unable to be tempted

is ; by evils tempts now He Himself .No one
So I submit the temptation of Jesus was a mere testing permitted by the Father and Jesus walking away from such was actually designed to be an example for us.
You meant well but have failed on this one dear sister .
But dont be discouraged and allow this wee flea of dog a few words of clemency please .
The men who wrote it did so correctly . did you know that tempation was often used
to describe tempations of the flesh and also at other times to describe a trial which is for sure contrary to the flesh .
AND i didnt even have to sit under men and learn greek , or scholars .
ITS quite obvious the more one reads the bible .
I mean TIS TRUE THAT GOD DOES NOT TEMPT ANY MAN , but that meant
when written that HE DONT create lustful temptations .
It can confuse folks like its a contradiction because it says GOD TEMPTED abraham .
BUT HE DIDNT TEMPT HIM like we see temptation today
IT WAS A TRIAL . IT JUST the same word was used by men in that day .
ITS VERY TRUE that GOD DOES NOT TEMPT man , NOR CAN HE BE TEMPTED .
Many seem to forget that the WORD became flesh .
FLESH can be tempted . AS MAN was tempted but failed .
BUT THE KEY IS
JESUS WASNT JUST A MAN now was he . IT WAS always gonna take GOD to save HIS OWN creation .
Now dont get offended , i dont think you satan . THIS is often confusing to many ,
but the more by grace one reads that bible and ONLY that bible for themselves
HEY it do come together in time .
Do be encouraged . There aint a darn thing wrong with the KJV .
THOUGH i do understand that its early modern english
and often , SPECIALLY at the first seems can seem contrary when in TRUTH THEY NEVER WERE .
IT was OUR lack of understanding . Feast like a lil child on them ever lovely scrips
and you watch how it can easily , BY THE GRACE of GOD ,come together in time.
OFTEN even the word HELL
was used to describe a state of death and also at times the lake of fire.
THOUGH ,
YES , though there is a difference . the langauge is older
but if one reads enough they will learn to discern in time .
You wanna hear something amazing . THERE ARE NO CONTRADICTIONS in the bible
its only been a lack of understanding all along . AND i didnt need greek or scholars to show me that .
THE HOLY SPIRIT DID . THE MORE I read the more it got engrained and the more it was formed
FEEL FREE to ask questions . Dont just strike the dog that barks , ASK IT WHY it barks .
