God does not tempt nor can He be tempted; see James 1:13.

No, what we are witnessing is the unfolding of Romans 1:22-1:25:

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

"Professing themselves to be wise" per verse 22: "You Christians are outdated. You need to get with the times! Accept that life has no meaning and man is nothing more than a glorified monkey! There is no basis for right and wrong since we're just and accident. Therefore, who are you to judge?"

In verse 23 we see reference to the idolatry of our day, whether it be through sports teams (representing birds and beasts, "ball" has replaced "Baal"), man (like Obama, who is worshipped as a sort of god by many), or Gaia.

Verse 24 should be pretty self-explanatory.

In Verse 25 we see a reference to the practice of calling good evil and evil good. It is evil, according to the spirit of the age, to warn a friend who is destroying himself with a homosexual life and good to affirm his destructive behavior.

There really is nothing new under the sun, my friends. Though knowledge has increased, wisdom has not. We are not "more advanced" than people of any other age. We are on the threshing floor, and God is separating His wheat from the chaff.

Fortunately I searched to see if someone responded this Bible verse. Fits today to a “T”.
