Can you justify God's decision towards Job?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmfORYNqAhM
To be Jobbed is to be HumanA creature who has hardly known hardship is hardly Human

No, and neither could he, and neither could his friends, and neither can anybody. Only God knows, and his faithful servants understand that even his most seemingly strange and random decisions are perfectly guided by what is ultimately best for the immortal souls of his children.That's the point of the story.
>>41168646Kek, retarded garbage portraying Job's sons and daughters as literal children.“¶ And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:” (Job 1:13)“And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.” (Job 1:5)
>>41168785God doesn't need to try or prove anything to Himself; He's not figuring stuff out. He does and says things in a way we can understand Him better, for our learning and admonition. That's why He also came down to earth physically to corroborate the rumors that Sodom was an evil place. Not that He didn't know "for sure", but it sends a stronger message to the reader. This is a common theme in scripture.
>>41168646We now interrupt this message for esoteric syncretism.Job's suffering = SamsaraJob's enlightment = LiberationSatan = MaraGod = BuddhaJob enduring his suffering lead him to enlightenment which is not defeat or sorrow but kingship over the manifest universe, the wisdom of Solomon.

>>41168708That’s a tidy little explanation you’ve asserted, and 100% bullshit. Sometimes God just wants to hurt someone.
