God does NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION!!!

How can you say that?

God places temptation in our paths every day.

Booze, beautiful sexual creatures, desirable objects that are not ours, money, power and so on.

A good father teaches his children the correct path and then puts desirable things out where the child can see them and watches to see if the child will obey.

Testing and correction are the way of good parenting.

Why would God not do this?

The good and obedient child obeys but would rather not be tested.

It is our concupiscence or fallen nature that leads us into temptation. Following The Lord faithfully would not lead us to do wrong with any of those beautiful things He has created for their correct purpose.
