Was God Just Playing A Practical Joke On Job?

[BlackDiBiase]

the Devil said it was easy for Job to love God because he is living so well, so God once again dueled with the Devil and Job never gave up his love for God.

It's allegory.

God killed his fukking kids... how is that justified? I'm genuinely curious how that is characteristic of a moral and just god.

if you read the Book of Job, God Himself appears to Job and answers this in chapters 38-41

A quick summary: God is vastly superior to man and it is not man's place to question the justness of God in order to discredit Him

They don’t believe in the Bible but like to get all philosophical questioning it. I’m not hating I just don’t understand it.

Spoiler

If God doesn’t exist then we are free from the weight of sin and repentance, and can decide for ourselves what’s right and what’s wrong.

You almost have to go into a lot of those Old Testament stories looking for the message, especially those first five books which are said to be all written by Moses through Godly inspiration. How you gonna explain him writing his own death and events that happened afterwards. (I know this doesn’t include the book of Job)

Christianity is not going to make sense to our logical minds

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”

 

[Monsanto]

It is continually stated throughout the Bible that leaving all behind and dedicating yourself to God's mission will bring true fulfillment.

Same thing in the Buddha origin story.

Isnt it a sin to claim to knoe His will? Dangerous thread.

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Family: dead
Wealth: gone
Health: compromised

How could you possibly interpret this as a joke?
