Any difference between TEMPT and TEST ?
Berdasarkan diskusi hari Senin, 10_4_2021 (pagi hari di Indonesia 10/5/21)
Sudah di diskusikan bersama hari2 sebelum-nya bahwa TEMPT it asalnya dari evil, dan TEST itu asalnya dari Tuhan; walaupun demikian TEMPT yang terjadi itu selalu seizin Tuhan, sehingga kalau Tuhan izinkan selalu itu baik adanya. Jadi apa bedanya?
Kalau tempt itu dari sisi setan yang bertujuan mau menjatuhkan, sedang test yang Tuhan lakukan adalah untuk mengungkapkan kalau saya masih belum mencapai apa yang diharapkan demi kebaikan kita! Jadi dalam segala hal, adalah untuk kebaikan kita, sehingga kita tidak boleh bersungut!.
AYAT2 yang dibandingkan adalah,
Genesis 22 : 1, And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
dan
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:

The Faith of Abraham
Abraham was directed of God to go up to Mount Moriah, and there offer up his son as a burnt offering. There the Lord tested Abraham by a most fearful trial. In taking Hagar for his wife he showed distrust in the promises of God. If he had patiently waited for the promise to be fulfilled in God's own time and manner, and had not sought to make a providence himself, he would not have been subjected to this the closest test that was ever required of man.
