Basically what I said. It’s not kept as the pharisees kept it, the Lord was critical of that.
You kind of just proved my point. Jesus re-iterates those who aren’t against Him is for him but also those who aren’t for Him is against Him. This proves the fact that you cannot be neutral towards Jesus, only for or against. Again, you need to read it in context. The person in this case who wasn’t “for” was still a believer, he just wasn’t one of the twelve/travelling companions. No issue here.
There is ambiguity. You’re forgetting this document wasn’t written in english. The Hebrew isn’t entirely clear over what incited them. The language used is more so God permitted them to be incited than God literally inciting it. If God incited it, then why would a few sentences later He be mad?

Same reason why it wouldn’t be sinful to be upset that your spouse left you for someone else, even though that’s technically jealousy. (Which is more like the scenario God was describing in Exodus 20)
therefore asking someone to do something they don’t want is tempting them to sin.
No it isn’t. Abraham obeyed God and it was counted to him as righteousness.
