I appreciate your attempt to contribute to this conversation. However, proof texts can be offered by both sides of this debate:
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
-James 1:13
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
-John 10:10
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
-James 1:16-17
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
-John 8:44
You have to dig a little deeper than proof texts.
You have to have a theology that explains how it is that the Bible both says that God does not do evil or bring death, lies, or temptation; yet appears to say in other places that he does. And that requires more than a trading of proof texts.
Peace...
