In James 1:12-15, Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God. In Job 1:8, is there a contradiction there or is it simply put that man is tempted when he drawn away of his own lust and God simply allows test and trials to come upon. The main question is People at times will ask, why did God allow this to happen or why does bad things happen to good people? Thank you for your reply.
