Pope Francis has called on the Roman Catholic Church to alter the Lords Prayer because he believes the current translation suggests God is capable of leading us into temptation.
Instead, Our father, which is the best known prayer in Christianity, should be said using the phrasing adopted by French bishops, which reads as do not let us enter into temptation.
The alternative wording used in France implies that it is through human fault that people are led to sin, rather than by God.
The pontiff made the suggestion during a televised interview on Wednesday evening, in which he claimed that the traditional phrasing was not a good translation.
I am the one who falls. Its not him pushing me into temptation to then see how I have fallen, he continued. A father doesnt do that, a father helps you to get up immediately. Its Satan who leads us into temptation, thats his department.

Given his proclivity for showmanship, maybe next stop is Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I had already figured this out and did not need popes or bishops to clarify it. On the other hand, when God sees that someone has so embraced their sin that they defy correction (think: Homosexuals), Paul says that God “gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Rom 1:27) so Jesus doesn’t lead us into temptation but God can give them over to depravity if they turn their backs long enough.

when is he going to declare himself God ..
Lol
The current version makes sense to me....I see it as asking God to help us...lead us not into temptation...here saying help us not be lead into temptation. This makes sense when we further beg God to “ deliver us from evil”.
It’s no big deal if the whole point is to ask God for help against falling into evil and our mortal weaknesses, ie temptations.
Seems like word games.
Didn’t God allow the trials of Job?
he leaves us to deal with our decisions as a good Father would..His way is not ours, His vision is forever..When we turn from him we live in our darkness and are tempted through an increasingly depraved mind, not centered on the way of God..like the world today
And hardened the heart of the Pharaoh...
Has the Pope ever read the Bible?
Luke 4:1-2
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil.
FYI, Pope, the Spirit is God, who literally led Jesus Himself into temptation.
Talk to the guy who said it first, Frankie - need to get His permission to change it.
One of the wording from the Bible says, “Do not put us to the final test”
“But deliver us from the evil one.”
The Bible has it and it is different from the way it is most commonly said.
Aramaic?
deliver us from the evil one.....me too.
