This phrase; lead us not into temptation, seems to be a grammatical erroneous translation from the original Greek, and it does not make sense. Let us not be lead into temptation, let us not fall into temptation, seems to be the better translation, from some research I did on the subject.

Truth will not and cannot lead us away from Itself. Some years ago I had this vision of God’s allness, and I saw that Jesus’work on the cross was to overcome and destroy this temptation of sin, sickness and death, this temptation of something besides All. The foundation of evil is laid on a belief in something besides God. 92.

I still struggle with all that the senses try to convince me of, when I visit my grandsons and they pass me the flu they strongly believe in, and with the world the senses and the news try to convince me of. I have tried long and hard to share this wonderful Science to friends and relatives, but to no avail that I am aware of. I takes the presence of God to stand alone, but this Forum and Church might be just the help I need.
