Since, as you just posted here, God does not lead us into temptation, that request (statement?) "not to be led into temptation" must mean something else.

Likewise, since the Bible says we, as Christians, are very definitely going to experience "evil" in our lives, I certainly hope no one is expecting God to never let evil knock us around some before "being delivered" from it.
It means what it says but the translators were merely men...full of holes. Subject to error. Please God don't lead us into temptation. The Word already says that He does not, so why ask Him not to? He leads us NOT into temptation. A statement of faith.

Right! Corinthians 10:13 (CJB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]No temptation has seized you beyond what people normally experience, and God can be trusted not to allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. On the contrary, along with the temptation he will also provide the way out, so that you will be able to endure.

God does not lead us into temptation. The tempter does that, but God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can handle. And He will provide a way for us to kick the slats out of the tempter.

So why would we ask Him not to tempt us or lead us into it?
