In his letter in the New Testament, James says that God cannot be tempted and that He tempts no one [James 1:1-15].  Why is it that God cannot be tempted but we can?  And how can James say He tempts no one when there are a number of places in scripture that contain accounts of God testing individuals?  In this podcast, we look at the difference between a biblical temptation and a biblical trial or test and answer the question of why God can't be tempted and how it is that we can be tested without being tempted.
