“God has no reason to test anyone.”
Of course He does.
Deut. 8:15-16, “Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee,
and that he might prove thee,
to do thee good at thy latter end;
Even the Psalmist knew this,
Psa 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
BD: Of course He does....Deut 8:15-16, Psalm 26:2, Psalm 139:23...
BD, I am very well aware of the existance of sections of the Bible (Job is certainly one of them) which say that God is testing us.
Nevertheless, God has no reason to test us. We believe God is omnisceint and doesn't need to "find out."
In all instances of biblical mention of temptaton or testing it is used for the same end: a moral message. Somoene is used as an example for others to learn. So, on what basis do you differentiate testing and tmepting?
