Who says God is doing the testing.. God is merely allowing the testing to happen

James does.

God is merely allowing the testing to happen..

Merely allows it? In Job He actively plans with Satan what is to be done and what is not to be done.

And with Abraham? There was no Satan there as far as I know. The testing was done by God and God alone.

So James is WRONG?.. No big deal all of the Apostles were wrong at some point.. Paul set them straight about the gentiles for instance.. Can you be wrong?..
