How would western civilization have developed if the lesson of the story is that if hardships come its because god wants you to come home with him and kys?
>>18104063Then God loses, which is impossible
>>18104066What if God hated Job and wanted him to die? So he made Satan do his dirty?
>>18104063McNutt knew something we don't
>>18104117Then he wouldn't; record Job in the Bible then
>>18104063We wouldn't have iphones
>>18104066He literally lost to a Moabite deity in your own book lolAlso the Job book proves deceit, he did his part of the covenant (blameless) yet it was not upheld
>>18104267Moabites converted to Yahweh.
God already spoiled the ending; that Job would remain faithfulYou cannot spoil a story and not deliver. That's called lying
>>18104294That's not what I'm referring to mr. pilpul. And there's no passage saying your claim eitherHe promised total victory to the israelites and failed due to a petition to the moabite god
>>18104298Yeah, and how is that his fault?A perfect plan ruined by soldiers not being on their posts is not a fault of the General
>>18104303He declared total victory and failed. It doesn't matter how it happened. How can an omnipotent god make a false prophecy/promiseCope forever
>>18104350There were only 2 instances of God promising victory against the MoabsFirst is during Judges where they managed to kick them out and end their reign over the IsraelitesAnd second during Kings wherein he assured them a supply of resources that would never run outYou are referring to the part where the Israelites were forced to retreat after God's wrath befell them for destroying more than necessary. They received what God has promised - freedom, but their overambition was denied
>>18104066He lost to iron chariots in Judges 1:19
