  1. The reason for Job's suffering was Satan or the Satan, he challenged God's opinion of Job and challenged him to view Job's actions when he was not being blessed by the grace of God. This is a fair challenge of an opinion which is why God allowed the challenge. Satan is the reason for Job's suffering

  2. Job was righteous but wasn’t sinless, due to The Fall. The whole problem with “why God does ‘bad’ things to ‘good’ people” is that no one is inherently good. Everyone has fallen short, even the most righteous.

    If man allowed Satan to cause havoc on humanity, why can’t God allow suffering to one man?

  3. Job = is the allegoric name for word job which defined by law dictionary is ==> official public business for private dishonest gain (Bible Eden tree of knowing good and evil). The fare-away land in which Job is placed is secular / Godless jurisdiction designed by the snake / self proclaimed trustee of (1) entire Earth and (20 huuuge part of mankind alienated from Gods will marked today on Birth Certificate by the mark of the beast which is surname(war/ occupational name/ Satan's symbol).

  4. It was a battle between God and Satan. Satan hated job with passion, but Job was tested and he passed. I think it is the issue of humility that Job had that angered Satan. Satan had his way, and beat him up bad, but Job never failed in faith and in obedience to God. Job never blasphemed. He stayed true to God. Yes, it was a hatred from Satan toward Job. It is in the beginning of the Biblical story. Satan is just accusing Job. Remember, Satan does not know everything but he knows most things. Satan is just driven by hatred. Satan most likely did not like the attitude and the way Job looked, and "everything" about Job. Yes, Job won, but Satan hurt him bad. Job was innocent, but It all started from the Accuser. This is my humble answer. October 1, 2020 Thursday

  5. Suffering only has 2 causes. Desire and aversion. Not getting what we want and getting something we don't want. Desire and aversion, both have the same cause: ignorance. Ignorance of how things actually work. Reality is not objects, entities, God, and people. Your experiences are your reality. What you see, hear, smell, taste, feel, and think. That's it. Momentary experience is your reality. Our belief that objects and entities exist are what cause desire and aversion. Not a God or some divine being.

  6. I needed to watch this today I have been questioning why certain things in my life are going the way they are wondering why God would allow certain things but this video touched my heart. Thank you God, I have to just trust that he knows what he is doing. I do not want to be an accuser!

  7. Job was terrified that his children would sin and he might miss it… So his strength of faith and his fear was that God would condemn him if he missed a sacrifice… Which Job did not … But he did this every week, sabbath and served the sacrifice and not God…
    And yet his fears came upon him and God seemed to take away his blessings of a righteous man … Yet Job still loved God and knew there was no other Goodness under the sun for men…
    So his fears of not being good enough were visited and Job lost his sons and his sheep and shepherds and camels and camherds? So he feared god might declare him or his sons guilty as a faithless God who did not look into the hearts of men … As a God who doesn't keep covenant even if just for his names sake to them who love him… Remembering that if JOB missed a sacrifice his sons would be guilty of soul killing sin from a God that demanded sacrifice … and offered death for guilt … of punishment …
    So he could defend his righteousness before his breathern who said thou art guilty of something … And you deserve your punishment …Set thou in thy own dust … For their god depended upon men to keep the covenant. So God knew and showed with the law that none could …
    So when God took away jobs blessings he showed to JOB that his fear of God being mean to those that miss one sacrifice was underestimating God who keeps covenant with men for his own names sake. So his fear of God being a destroyer was misinformed and God deserved better … God showed that no man could keep covenant or add one mite to his height by worry … He was not far off and impersonal to the struggles of the heart … Job did not sin in any of the words of his mouth …
    So God came to him and showed him that God is in all things … And keeps covenant with men and knows the thoughts of their heart . That there was no evil in the great and violent but they were what they were as God made them… And God loved them and was with them … So the fear of error Job had became the knowing of a Good God that takes care of his creation and would not throw away JOB forever … His deliver lives …
    The great fear of the first Job had to die before he could Give to God the Faith that the father deserves… So God brought to Job peace … even in his sacrifices … He could begin to learn of the father…Who keeps covenant … Job of the World became Job of God and his heart was renewed …
    I have thought lately, that God knew several men before times and they were put in their mothers womb … When Jobs sons were killed It is not beyond God to put again the same sons in their mothers wombs again … God may have returned his sons to him …Nothing is to hard for God , Yahweh …

  9. God seems like a complete bastard. So the answer to the book's questions is, it's okay for God to condemn just men. Just trust him if he kills your family and demolishes your house?
