The DEFINED King James Bible Covers For Satan — the Tempter

The Bible For Today sometimes omits definitions of words in their DEFINED King James Bible where they appear in passages that particularly expose Satan's wicked devices.

For example, take a look at the word, "tempted."  The Bible For Today defines this word throughout their DEFINED King James Bible as "tested, put to the test." They defined "tempted of" as "tested by, tried by."

However, The DEFINED King James Bible does NOT define "tempt" or "tempted" in verses that refer directly or indirectly to Satan tempting man to do evil. In fact, The DEFINED King James Bible never informs the reader that "tempt" also means to entice someone to sin against God.

Verses in the DEFINED King James Bible that do not have "tempt" in bold and do not define it:

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. (1 Cor. 7:5)

[1 Corinthians 7:5 exposes Satan as the one who entices God's people to disobey God!]

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Hebrews 11:37)

[Hebrews 11:37 reveals a number of ways in which God's precious saints were persecuted, including being tempted to sin.]

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. (1 Thess. 3:5)

[Notice how 1 Thessalonians 3:5 zeroes in on the Tempter's (Satan's) evil agenda to influence Christians to sin.]

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: (James 1:13)

[James 1:13 teaches us that God does not tempt any man with evil. The implication is that Satan tempts man with evil.]

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (James 1:14)

[Every man is tempted (enticed to do evil) when he is drawn away of his own lust.]

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Gal. 6:1)

[This verse tells us to restore a man in the spirit of meekness lest we be tempted (to fall into sin) as well.]

The Bible For Today also defrauded the reader of the biblical meaning of the word, "tempt" where the Bible teaches us that Satan tempted Jesus Christ! See: The DEFINED King James Bible Teaches That Satan Tested Jesus Christ!
