If you believe in the God of christianity there is no problem with this. The question concerns why God tempts, so the OP is presuming the existence of God.
So if I ask why the fish warned the kids that their parents would be upset if they came home and found the cat in the hat, am I presuming the existence of talking fish?
Another straw man bites the dust.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
