Satan is behind the temptation!

God is speaking but who was accusing Abraham of selfish love for his friend?

In the Bible book of Job this is what Satan said:

[/b]Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 1:9-11[/b]

But God has demanded Abraham's son before that's why He told Satan:

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.Job 1:12

Here God indirectly told Satan "NO i won't test my servant with evil things but you can go ahead and do whatever you want with his belongings but make sure you don't touch him"

So the idea to tempt Abraham is not from the same Person whom the Bible said can't test people with evil things! James 1:13

BewareOf419:

We all know and understand the story of Job but we are more concern about Abraham.. So the idea to test the faith of Abraham came from God and not from satan as you claimed

When you first mention me i thought you are interested in knowing direct answers to your question that's why i was quoting the scriptures to answer you.

Please what do you mean by:



Expatiate on this let me know exactly what you have in mind regarding my fourth response in that comment!

WhatsDifficult:

Sir the question am asking is what will if the is a big church going all around the world preaching rubbish. U have not answerd me but you are saying different things ever since

MaxInDHouse:


You who need to know the difference between the truth and falsehood then you will know that it's impossible for zealous preachers to preach falsehood!

WhatsDifficult:

What if

MaxInDHouse:

You need to know the difference between truth and falsehood your question is like saying what if someone is drinking sand and swallowing it like gari.
Is that possible?
Preaching is a very difficult job that's why Jesus told his close confidants that they will need God's holy spirit to energize them.
Do you think God's holy spirit will energize someone preaching rubbish?
If you know all the features of original money you can't be deceived with fake money!

A diligent study and thorough meditation on what the scriptures later revealed that the idea to sacrifice Isaac wasn't from God but Satan and since Abraham passed the test Satan left him searching for someone else to accuse on the basis of faith in God!

That's why it wasn't repeated neither does it become a common practice among God's people!

TenQ:

Gen 22:1-2
1. Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2. “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”

Lawag3:

Which bible you sef dey read eh? It is literally in the Bible that God was the one who tested Abraham

WhatsDifficult:

So that is why u cannot answer it?

This is why you guys need to study the Bible with JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

Are you guys Christians or Judaists?

According to Jesus Christ is God the cruel one behind evil thoughts?

Why do you people keep reading verses like:

"All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father; neither does anyone fully know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him" Matthew 11:27

Yet you don't grasp that whatever the inspired writers of the Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures penned down is just a shadow and not the full attribute of the true God?

Well Jesus is the one and only person who knows the father in and out that's why he said the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal the things remaining that his friends need to know {John 16:12-13} according to James a spirit anointed Christians among those referring to the true God as "Abba Father" {Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15} this is what we learned:

When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TRY ANYONE. James 1:13

So i ask you people again:

The idea that Abraham should kill his only son came from God or Satan? Job 1:9-11 compare to Revelations 12:10

Pray for understanding {Proverbs 2:1-5} instead of arguing blindly like Muslims who say their Allah is the same person behind GOOD and EVIL!

So I should pick the teachings of JW over what is stated in the Bible?

TenQ:

God does not TEMPT a person
God may TEST/TRY a person

Aemmyjah:

I'm confused

MaxInDHouse:


Don't get me wrong i never said JW taught me this but they made each Bible student to be studious with diligence.
God is the one who spoke to his friend but the idea for him to kill his only son is due to accusations from the evil one who always stand accusing faithful people {Revelations 12:10} Satan must have come up with such an evil idea that Abraham's faith in his friend (God) is due to the fulfillment of having a child.

So if Abraham is asked to sacrifice that child he will deny his friend (God) but as things would turn out Abraham was willing to give away anything for this friendship with God. Hebrew 11:17 compare to James 2:23

Such an evil test of faith emanates from the evil one not the Happy God! James 1:13

Lawag3:

Do you know the difference between a test and temptation? You don't. its no surprise.

MaxInDHouse:


With evil things shey? James 1:13

MaxInDHouse:

Guy there's no need for further arguments you are free to hold onto your own opinion i've presented my own view on the matter so present yours and move on.

If TEST and TEMPTATION doesn't mean the same to you it means exactly the same to me when it involves evil things, can your own friend ask you to sacrifice your own son for the friendship both of you shared?

If such a TEST doesn't end your friendship with such a person that's your own cup of coffee!

Lawag3:

You're talking as if God allowed him to kill Isaac did Abraham kill Isaac? Who stopped Abraham?
Temptation and test are the same thing? That's all I need to know to know that you're ain't ok.

MaxInDHouse:


Can your own friend use such a thing to test you and such a friendship won't end the very moment he utter it?

Lawag3:

My friend isn't the owner of all life.
My friend did not give me a child at 100 years.
Abraham obeyed God and his obedience paid Isaac lived and all the promises that God promised him came to pass.

MaxInDHouse:


This is where you need a diligent study of the Bible Abraham is from a pagan background {Joshua 24:2} so when he heard the voice of a spirit extending a hand of friendship to him he never knew this Spirit is the Creator all he knew is that this Spirit is powerful and by the time God fulfilled His promises to Abraham he realized that this Spirit is able to do all things but did Abraham know everything about this spirit?
NO! Exodus 6:2-3
So just like all other people back then also heard voices of spirits Abraham had God's voice Satan knew that since Abraham hasn't fully known the real identity of his spirit friend he will not like to continue the friendship if his friend demands something so precious to Abraham like his only begotten Son.
But the idea to sacrifice his only begotten Son couldn't have come from the same Person who said evil thoughts never emanate from Him! Jeremiah 7:31 compare to James 1:13

Lawag3:

Abraham address this spirit as Lord God in Genesis 15:2

MaxInDHouse:


The idea to test someone with the death of his only son shey?

Well this is what the Christians in the first century believe:

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: James 1:13

Thanks for your time!
