What Does It Mean When The Bible Says "God Will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” (1 Cor. 10:13)?

    The first reason is that the trials we go through are “common to men.” As long as we are living in Satan’s system, we will all experience difficult situations, perhaps even tragedy. But if we rely on Jehovah, we can endure these trials and remain loyal. (1 Peter 5:8, 9) Earlier in 1 Cor. chapter 10, Paul wrote about some of the tests the Israelites had in the wilderness. (1 Corin.10:6-11) Those who relied on Jehovah could endure those trials. But some Israelites disobeyed Jehovah. They did not remain loyal because they did not rely on him.

    The second reason is that “God is faithful.” What does this mean? When we look at how Jehovah has taken care of his servants throughout history, we see that he loyally helps “those who love him and keep his commandments.” (Deuteronomy 7:9) We learn that Jehovah always keeps his promises. (Joshua 23:14) We can be sure that (1) Jehovah will not allow any trial to become so difficult that we cannot endure it, and (2) he will “make the way out” for us.

    Just that, God will not let you be tried more than what you can handle.

    A possible example for many men would be that they wake up in the middle of the night and out of nowhere there's this beautiful hot babe, lingerie, stilettos and all, right next to them in bed kissing on him and begging him to have sex with her. God is just not going to let that happen.

    When we ask Jehovah to help us cope with trials, he will make the way out. Does God maneuver matters to remove the trial?

    Perhaps. Often, however, he makes the way out so that we may be able to endure it.

    And since he knows our physical, mental, and emotional limits so intimately, Jehovah will never allow a situation to develop to a point that we cannot remain faithful.

    Jehovah will never permit anyone’s being submitted to a trial that would be impossible for him to bear.

    If a person looks to Him for aid, not losing faith but trusting completely in Jehovah, the Almighty will make the way out so that he is able to endure. 1Co 10:13

    That's just a sneaky way of saying "Whatever happens is YOUR fault, because GOD is too NICE to let you be tempted beyond YOUR ability to choose NOT to do whatever YOU deliberately CHOSE to do!"

    (So, toss extra money into the collection basket, to PROVE you're sorry.)

    Exploiting the guilt they TRAINED you to feel.

    Look at it this way:

    Have you been told it was God's PLAN to send Jesus to die for your sins?

    Well then!

    If Jesus died more than a thousand years BEFORE you committed ANY of them, God must have PLANNED for you to commit them.

    Otherwise, in YOUR specific case, and in general for everyone born after AD40, Jesus will have died for NOTHING.

    It's like the fast food drive-up windows.

    You PAY for what you expect, at the FIRST window, and GET what you paid for, at the second.

    Jesus expected you to Do the Nasty Thing, so he paid for it, twenty centuries ahead.

    It means. God never does anything because you can bear everything or in other words god never does anything but nevertheless he's real and loves you so much because you're special and god will always always always take care of you unless god has to do something then you're on your own.
