No thanks. I don't want to tempt God


So an omnipotent infallible creator can be tempted?

In this context (as in the context of Jesus’ words to Satan), it means not to put God to the test regarding His mercy and power. It is actually a sign of faithlessness in His word to put God on trial by tempting His providence with unnecessary acts of recklessness and personal danger to see what God would do.

So yeah, I don’t want to test God but presuming on His power and mercy towards me by unnecessarily putting myself in danger.
