God did not tempt A&E, it was the serpent.

These folks may just be stuck there. They may simply be stuck and hung up on wanting to blame God.

Some people get stuck there with their reasoning and remain there. You may not be able to get them unstuck on blaming God.

The serpent began by causing Eve to DOUBT the goodness of God's heart and the truthfulness of God's word.

He has not changed.
