>How to overcome evil? Certainly there has to be a balance.

Launch the ultimate beatdown on the Devils ass and get him to be silenced for a long time.

>biblefags will tell you, God loves you so much that he will kill everyone you love, take everything you own, and give you painful diseases, just to win a bet with the devil.

They missed the entire point of Job, well multiple points.

 

I read Job several times over when I first became a Christian and didn't get it. Years later, on a fresh read through did I finally start to understand what it was about.

I've got to ask.

 

This isn't some psyop by the USA MILINT and or a study of advanced brain manipulation technologies developed by DARPA?

 

Also, where do the SSP and all the SAP in space fall into this?

I could, but clearly the explanation would have been lost on you.

 

It goes along the lines of the parable Jesus said about the very wealthy man and a camel through the eye of a needle.

Amazing to hear and I hope and wish the best for you. God bless you.

 

Something I still very hard to do is too just have complete blind faith that doesn't even rely on logic or recalling past times when God has got me through. Using the Word to help in keeping this faith and or developing is ok.

Yes, all those are valid and I agree with them. I would like to add a new interpretation that goes along with the rest.

 

God saw that Job was good and with a good heart and that what he was blessed with was not up to par with Jobs heart. Therefore God wanted to reward and bless Job even more. But before that could happen Job had to go through the tests.

 

What am I saying here? Well, for one Jobs wife was not equally yoked with him in her faith and it showed.

Job 2: 8-10 "And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes. Then Job's wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die! “You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said."

 

Two, the result of this faith mismatch showed in the behavior of their children.

Job 1:5 NLT "When these celebrations ended—sometimes after several days—Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts." This was Job’s regular practice."

>why did Job do that regularly?

Proverbs 18:22 AMP

He who finds a [[a]true and faithful] wife finds a good thing

And obtains favor and approval from the Lord.

 

I think it was strongly meant that whoever finds a good wife finds a good thing…

 

Proverbs 19:14 NLT

Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the LORD can give an understanding wife.

 

>Did Job's wife show understanding and faith?

She failed miserably. For as it was said "In all this, Job did not sin in what he said."

 

Job 42:12-15

So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters.

He named his first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers.

>In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers.

Both of these show that Jobs daughters were excellent in appearance and in character. I believe it was extremely rare for a father, the head of the family to put daughters into his will back in those days.

>Job was awesome servant of God. The "deceiver" literally made a bet with God, a la "Devil Went Down to Georgia". God accepted the bet, as long as the "deceiver" didn't physically harm Job. Devil did his worst, and took everything from Job, including his "friends".

Yes, that is so. But it was the Lord God Almighty who first brought Job to Satan's notice.

 

Job 1:8 NLT "Then the LORD asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.” "

>Why would the Lord God do such a thing and put someone on the spotlight?

>Nobody's perfect. Hold each accountable to their own, and you don't have to toss lives to the wayside to prove that you can't win a bet against Satan; because God did not win that bet. He had to intervene. Sure, he restored Job, and his blessings were 10 fold what they were before, but would Job have been just fine with what he had?

God is timeless and sometimes before we even see it or can even live to see it God will remove people and things from our lives before they run their course and bring us (and others) sorrow and hurt.

 

From my best understanding as of now, what we do in each passing moment has repercussions for both the future and even the past. Especially in higher up realms.

 

My argument for this is how Job is ended:

Job 42:16-17 NLT

Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren. Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.

>Sometimes shit happens because God gambles. Deal with it.

How exactly would the Almighty God gamble?

 

Ask yourself this question, for how would the most powerful being even gamble when he is the most powerful being?

>And my point was that the book of Job does not provide any answer to the "whys", but rather God says "Because reasons, son". I'll admit, I've always been a cerebral believer, and that's part of the problem.

The answers have also been smack dab in the mid of book of Job. Elihu the kid who shows out of nowhere gives us the answers.

 

Job 36:16-21

God is leading you away from danger, Job, to a place free from distress.

He is setting your table with the best food. But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged.

Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.

But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth. Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.

Could all your wealth or all your mighty efforts keep you from distress?

Do not long for the cover of night, for that is when people will be destroyed.

Be on guard! Turn back from evil, for God sent this suffering to keep you from a life of evil.

The ultra wealthy traitors of USA along with the powers from other countries conspired to send massive amounts of $$$ from USA to China and other countries under the guise of "free trade".

 

Trillions of dollars have left the USA and never came back, used to prop up various cancerous regimes such as China.
