Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by Mj4199: 6:59pm On Jun 17 |
The story of Job in the Bible revolves around a righteous man named Job who undergoes severe trials at the permission of God. Job is portrayed as blameless and upright, with a deep reverence for God. Satan challenges God's assertion that Job's faith is unshakeable, suggesting that Job only serves God because he is blessed with wealth and prosperity. God permits Satan to test Job's faith by allowing him to strip away Job's possessions, health, and even his family. Despite these devastating losses and intense suffering, Job remains steadfast in his faith, refusing to curse God. Throughout the story, Job's friends visit him and argue about the reasons for his suffering: they suggest it is punishment for sin, but Job maintains his innocence and questions why he is being afflicted. In the end, God appears to Job and speaks to him out of a whirlwind. God challenges Job's limited understanding of the universe and reaffirms His sovereignty and wisdom. Job humbly accepts God's authority, acknowledging that his knowledge is limited compared to God's. As a result, God restores Job's fortunes, blessing him with even greater prosperity than before, and vindicating Job's faithfulness. The story of Job explores themes of suffering, faith, and the mystery of God's ways, ultimately demonstrating that even in the midst of great trials, holding fast to faith and trust in God can lead to redemption and restoration. In all of this, Satan touches everything that belongs to Job, but not his wife, what could have been the reason behind that? 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Satan couldn't touch her because she was an agent of the Satan. She urged her husband, Job, to speak against God so that he could die. I believe that was why Job took another wife at the end when his life was not destroyed. |

RealityKings:Why do you people like telling yourselves ridiculous tales for Pete's sake? There is no rule in the book that Satan had to touch the wife too, so why the expectation that he should have? And there is equally no rule in the book that anyone satan does not touch most hence be an agent of his. So, why conclude the woman had to then have been an agent of satan because she was not destroyed by him? For Pete's sake, stop formulating and swallowing up these ridiculously inane tales abeg! |

RealityKings:Just an ordinary human. Have you ever read of the 14,000 or so people who spoke against God and were buried alive as a result? In your assessment, they all must have been agents of Satan, so why were they buried alive after that? |

The temptation wouldn't have had any weight if his wife was affected because that would make two persons not one tested on the basis of faith. Moreover Satan needs someone close to Job who will serve as thorn in his flesh just has Job's three friends! |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by RealityKings: 8:07pm On Jun 17 |
Kobojunkie: Don't confuse yourself. Those 14,000 people acted on their own accord. Job's wife was trying to instigate job to cat against God. The 2 are different scenarios 1 Like |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by Kobojunkie: 8:13pm On Jun 17 |
RealityKings:Actually, they all didn't act on their own accord, as it is written in the book that they were spurred into action by the murmurings of a particular group of people who were named. So, these are comparable scenarios here! |

RealityKings:I apologize! It seems I am mistake about the numbers that were in fact buried alive. But if you read the entire chapter of Numbers 16, you will find that all those who died, died because of instigations by one man and his ilk, Korah!

In marriage, the man becomes one with his wife. Jobs wive is same as job as far as marriage is concerned. That's y satan could not kill her. Because touching her meant touching job... And that was not the agreement God had with him the devil |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by Kobojunkie: 10:06pm On Jun 17 |
willzy0909:The oneness of marriage speaks instead of the agreement/contract between a man and woman in marriage. There is no indication anywhere in Scripture that a woman or man is approved righteous by God by being married to a man is approved righteous by God of Israel. Marriage has no connection or dealing with God's approval. So, this assumption here is not based on what is contained in Scripture. |

Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by RealityKings: 5:09am On Jun 18 |
Kobojunkie: Well that scenario if you read it well was a rebellion against Moses and not God himself. They chose to worship God directly without Moses as the spiritual head. These scene is entirely a different scenario from Job and His wife issue. Job's wife knew of his husband cause God, he is expected to be stike to death. One may say maybe the wife felt the husband was going through a very difficult pain that he may not come out from. So it's best he enjoys a mercy killing. Even at that, she wasn't supposed to make the husband lose hope. She was supposed to be a source of positive encouragement to Job. Rather she chose to be a Satan's advocate |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by Kobojunkie: 5:24am On Jun 18 |
RealityKings:1. God of Israel is responsible for planting Moses to lead the people of Isreal out of Egypt and through the promised land. But here you are suggesting that rebellion against Moses was not seen by God of Israel as a rebellion against His decree and ruling. Really? Have you read Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6 ever? 2. There is no such law in the entirety of the Old Law of Moses which Job lived by. God of Isreal never said those who curse Him or blasphemed against Him would be struck dead by Him. If Job had cursed God, he would not have died immediately as you assumed, but he would have lived in regret of it. 3. She was not supposed to cause her husband to lose hope according to what law? What law is there that mandates a wife serve as a source of positive encouragement, even to Job? Where do you folks get these ideas of yours from since Scripture neither says nor mandates any such? 4. Satan never said she was his advocate so, again, where does this idea come from? |

willzy0909: You fail! Satan gave him sores and boils. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown Wife did not have any! |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by RealityKings: 8:02am On Jun 18 |
Kobojunkie: 1. It would be better if the scripture being discussed is sticked to without deviations. 2. Job had a wife, the wife Instead of encouraging Job to faithfully endure, his wife said he should just cause God and die . This is clearly recorded in Jobs 2:9 It is amazing that you have never read Job 2:9 for you to have made that statement above. But let's assume you don't know. 3. Your number 3 question is hilarious. You asked "What law is there that mandates a wife serve as a source of positive encouragement, even to Job?" What exactly is the function of a Godly woman, or you as a wife to your husband? Is it your function to tell your husband to go and die |
Re: Satan Touches Everything That Belongs To Job But Not His Wife, Why? by Kobojunkie: 8:11am On Jun 18 |
RealityKings:1. Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6 reveals that God took it personally when the people murmured against Moses. 2. Job's wife was not the God of Israel. She was just a human being who made a claim. Her claim cannot change the fact that God of Isreal never said that any one who cursed Him would die an instant death. So, I am not certain what you are trying to argue here. 3. A "good" woman? By what standard is this woman defined as a good woman? A man and woman are only bound together in marriage by the agreement between them so... Scripture has nothing to do with that. |
