The original writers used peirasmos, and the translators splitted the word, in that case the intentions of the former weren't properly represented

God doesn't try humans.

Satan is the ruler of this world now so he trying and tempting every one.

On point op

malvisguy212:
I thought you are interlingent? Read the op very well: There is a difference between a trial and a temptation, although both come from the same Greek word peirasmos. They are often used INTERCHANGEABLE though. After all, temptation is a trial (of faith), and every trial is a temptation (to
grumble). When the word appears in the New Testament the CONTEXT helps us to see which interpretation is meant.
The difference between trial and temptation is. temptation: "Do this
pleasant thing and do not let yourself be hindered by the fact that it is wrong," whereas trial says, "Do this good and
noble thing, and do not let yourself be hindered by the fact that it is painful".

Bless you....this discussion is rich, proud of u guys

lol... mad man

Temptation is trial misused, abused or mishandled.
Consider this analogy, a student's knowledge is being tested through examination(trial) in order to qualify for promotion (spiritual uplifting),since there's always a price for every rise. If the student decides to listen to the devil who SHALL advice(tempt) him to join others to get involved in examination malpractices,then we can therefore say that the examination (trial) was meant to promote him, while the malpractice (temptation) was meant to destroy him.
The obedience and submissiveness of Adam and Eve were tested/tried by banning them from a particular fruit for blessing ,but were tempted to disobey to destruction.

Interesting.

bless the name of jesus. Thank you.

The situations that comes to tempt/try a christian are similar in nature. But the difference lies in this;
To God, it is trial
To satan, it is temptation.
God is watching you to succeed and triumph, the devil is expecting you to give up.
See it Gods way, and you will rather count it all joy and glorify God that you are found worthy to be tried.
Happy sunday all
