### Introduction
In the Hebrew Bible in Deuteronomy 30:15, God says that He is who sets the choice between good and evil before people:
> See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil.
In the Lords Prayer in Matthew 6, God is asked to not lead people into temptation:
> Our Father who art in heaven,
> Hallowed be thy name.
...
> **And lead us not into temptation**,
> But deliver us from evil.
There seems to be many possible answers from the Christian bible: Satan, mankind's own fallen nature, or even Jesus himself.
