James 1:13 Core Claim asserts two things: (i) God is morally incorruptible and (ii) God is not the source of temptation. We note the Torah parallel in Genesis 3:12 \u2013 The First Blame game, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cThe woman whom You gave to be with me\u2014she gave me of the tree, and I ate.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Adam indirectly blames God for his sin:<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> \u201cthe woman You gave me&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/span> This is the earliest example of attributing temptation or sin to God\u2019s providence. Note how the narrative rejects this logic becauseGod holds Adam, Eve, and the serpent each accountable. Note also Deuteronomy 8:2 \u2013 God Tests, But Does Not Entice. The Torah says God tests (nissah) Israel, and the goal is refinement, not enticement to sin. This distinction is crucial: testing reveals, but temptation entices. James likely draws on this Hebrew distinction between nissayon (test) and yetzer (evil inclination). The Torah states God is holy (Lev. 11:44\u201345) and not morally dualistic. Humans are morally responsible for their choices (Deut. 30:19: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cChoose life\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span>) and Temptation arises from the yetzer hara (evil inclination), not from God. This is how the NT and James taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let No Man Lay Temptation to God &#8211; Episode 563 James 1:13 \u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05de\u05b4\u05bc\u05ea\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e1\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b7\u05dc \u05d9\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b7\u05e8, \u05f4\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e1\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9\u05f4, \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05db\u05b5\u05bc\u05df \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b0\u05e0\u05bb\u05e1\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05de\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e1\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth James 1:13 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23792","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23792"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23793,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23792\/revisions\/23793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
