What The Actual F--- Was The Meaning Of That Job Story? by SSIPON(m): 8:43am On Oct 09, 2021 |
So let me get things straight, Job was just minding his business. Na God first find trouble o. God began to brag about Job with Satan. God bets with Satan that Job will not turn away from him. There are a few things to note here: 1. God is omniscient, meaning that He literally knew that He would win the bet and that Job will not turn against him, but He somehow gave Satan the permission to Bleep Job up. 2. After Job loses everything including his family, God simply replaces them like they are livestock or something . Meaning that innocent children lost their lives over a stupid bet between God and Satan, when God knew fully fell that He would win the bet. What was that Job story trying to achieve in the first place? |

SSIPON:Please try to read through the book again as if reading through a novel of some sort. The Book of Job is book that gives you insight into how God works by looking at at particular period in the life of Job, a righteous man. You learn of God, of Satan, and the interaction that typically exists between the righteous(Job) and the unrighteous(Job's friends). One of the lessons in that book is the righteous need not be ashamed of their conviction and resolve. One also learns that no matter how terrible it may seem, God remains sovereign. I implore you to make time to read that book again, only this time, approach it as if for the first time, and read it as you would any interesting novel. |

SSIPON: No wrong here, for it is seen that we Always Boast about our Best of the Best! SSIPON: See cry! Because Job prevailed over Satan, as God said He would? see Lamentation on behalf of Satan o SSIPON: See "crying more than the bereaved" Job being God's understood his loss and why it came about and his subsequent compensation and restoration, but I understand you are not crying for him but for Satan's Mighty Loss! God Won and Satan Lost in Spite of His Over Effort! What was that Job story trying to achieve in the first place? [/quote] Amongst other things, that Satan in spite of his Bestest Efforts Can Not pluck out God's own from His Hand! |

You aren't really interested in knowing about Job. Even if we give you answers you would say it is biblical and all what not like the story wasn't. It's like reading the story of a man and using the character, words, previous or subsequent actions of the man to explain his decision and you say we are being illogical. And you present your flawed and subjective human reasoning as basis for your skepticism. |

Ehiscotch: 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. So, he is just come to fulfill that which was foretold! That's all |

That in all circumstances, we should have faith not forget; hope not abandon; peace not worry and love not hate in our Benefactors. Jesus Issve was introduced that in all circumstances, we must always commune with our CREATOR. JESUS IS JOB SUPREME IN ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. |

The job story is a classic example of the sadistic and psychopathic nature of many Christians, and most importantly their god. "Well job suffered greatly but he got his possessions back in many fold." Does that justify god putting one of his most faithful servants through such a notoriously bad situation because of a bet...with...wait for it...satan? How do you explain the death of his sons and daughters who knew nothing about the bet or whatever it is their father was doing and died innocently for nothing. What did they get back in return? Yeah... nothing but death right? What moral lesson is there to be learnt from God persecuting an upright man? It only demonstrates the twisted morality and the lack of thinking of many people who believe the Bible is gods word. 1 Like |

The story never really happened, first of all. It was written to teach certain spiritual truth and principles. So I will go ahead and enumerate the messages in the story. 1. The devil is a son of God..never an equal opposite or dual opposite. To think otherwise is an insult against God. It is like putting the head of security and the VC of a university in same category. 2. The devil is under the control of God. It is absurd to think that there is something God created that he can't control. 3. The devil has no will outside the will of God. He is part of God's kingdom.. 4. The devil is not independent of God. 5. The devil does only what God tells him to do. No more no less. 6. It is the will of God that prevails ALL the time.. |
