0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger, and this is Bible Thinker, the program dedicated to thinking biblically about everything.
0:08.4	This is going to be like a Q&A, and the Q&A can be about whatever you want it to be about.
0:15.5	Can ask any question you want.
0:18.2	As always, I have a rule during a Q&A, and my rule is, I'm not going to make stuff up. If I don't know the answer to a question, I'm going to tell you, I don't know. I'm not going to, I can't pretend to be able to answer every question. But if I can, I'd like to either give you a good answer or even direct you towards a direction that's positive or just to say, I don't know, and move on, which is okay. I'm okay
0:38.0	with that too. Okay. There are similarly related questions in my opinion. The, to me,
0:46.3	simpler one that maybe you can just look up later and do all the words checking that you need to do.
0:55.3	In Malachi 310 and 315, so we're in Malachi 3 and a few verses away from each other.
1:01.9	There's the word which is prove, test, or tempt.
1:05.7	I looked those up and they are the same Hebrew word that's used.
1:11.5	And I see it used in a positive and a negative connotation.
1:16.1	So that kind of confused me.
1:21.5	So could the question be,
1:24.1	why is it that say in Malachi 310 were encouraged to test the Lord and then in what
1:33.7	315 15 now we will call the arrogant blessed evil doers not only prosper but they put God to
1:41.1	the test and they escape and that would be basically saying in a negative
1:45.2	sense, people putting out to the test. Since my questions are related, do you want to hear both of him?
1:50.5	Sure. So in Isaiah 7, 11 through 13, God tells Ahab to ask for a sign. Ahab responds, I will not tempt the Lord
1:59.4	my God. And then God kind of gets him in trouble for having a toad. And then the same word is used in Deuteronomy 615, which Jesus is clearly quoting in Matthew 4 7 and Luke 412. And God seems to get mad at him.
2:20.1	Okay, so he gets mad at Ahab.
2:25.1	In Matthew 1238, Jesus rebukes them for asking for a sign.
2:29.1	Matthew 1248. So Ahab says, I won't tempt the Lord and ask for a sign, and he gets in trouble, and then Jesus
2:35.3	in Matthew 1238 rebukes them for asking for a sign.
