Bible Verse Contradiction 3 (Genesis 22:1 And James 1:13).

This is the 3rd contradiction I will discuss, so I am labeling it "Bible Contradiction 3." Like what I did with the previous verses I will explain why they are not really contradicting each other.

Now let us take a closer look at the verses in questiion to see if they are really contradictory.

Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt test Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Let us first be reminded about the difference between two English words: test and tempt. Test means to check, examine, or evaluate something; while tempt means to attract or persuade someone to do something (often something they shoudn't).

In Hebrew language, whether you mean "test" or "tempt" you use the Hebrew word "נָסָה" pronounced "nasa." The English word "tempt" in Genesis 22:1 wa s translated from the Hebrew word "nasa" which is out of context. The correct translation should be "test" since God was testing his faith not tempting him to kill his only son. That is why the Angel of Yahuwah stopped Abraham. On the other hand, James 1:13 is talking about temptation to sin. That is why the Devil will not stop you from doing what he tempts you to do.

So, Genesis 22:1 and James 1:13 do not contradict each other.
