there is no hell. Christians are not qualified to explain anything in the corrupted bible. And the being called Satan, is not on the planet anymore, he was removed about 100 years ago. Lucifer was removed 2000 years ago. there are still plenty of dark antichrists though.
Quoting: God Loves ALL Okay, but that doesn't answer the question.
Why would god mess with a guy who did everything right, worshipped god, etc etc.
surely god should have been protecting Job not getting satan to take everything, kill his kids, and strike him down with boils from head to toe.
I mean seriously, what sort of a god lets that happen?
Job, obviously, COULD HANDLE IT, as God already knew.
You people with the "God would NEVER do THAT" line seem to be missing some ingredient in the bigger picture.
Is God evil because he let your hamster die? COME ON!!
So, did God kill Job's family, or was it the Sabeans?
God just gave permission, doesn't mean satan had to DO it. satan DID all the stuff.
You need to simply PRETEND that God is righteous in ALL He does, and that any question you might have about motivation, or such, should be chalked up to the fact that we have limited knowledge. Sometimes God's righteousness MIGHT seem at odds with what you currently know, but that might be because you don't know all the details.
Job certainly didn't argue with God over it, why should you?
"It is better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil."
So, Job suffered. ok,... who doesn't? How many people have suffered what Job suffered, but WITHOUT Job's saving knowledge of his God?
There's more 'meat' in Job than just a cursory reading. This is why we should always seek out people who are farther along the ride than we are, which, you have done, and I applaud you for it.
