Default Re: I would like to issue a challenge

Alexandra,

You said,

"Have you ever read the book of Job? This throws the theory of punishing only the bad guys out the window. Job was considered, by God, to be the most loyal follower of God. He did everything he was told. Look what happened to him. God and Satan went out to lunch and made some bets. God let Job suffer to win a bet. Hello.

Please rethink your statements and investigate what it is your selling."

God tests his subjects everyday. He puts them on display before Satan to see how stupid he was to intercept Gods praises. Satan is constantly petitioning God against His children and His children has and will forever prevail. This is exactly what the whole old testement is all about.

God used Job and other real people in the bible so you and I could have understanding into the things of God. So be careful what you reject. Keep reading.

God has provided a coloring book, easy to follow, illustration of His nature and the never ending love He has for his children in the old testement.

You need to keep reading my friend. Since you know a little about Job I'll tell you the rest of the story.

Job was considered righteous by God. This is big and it was proven by his faithfulness to God. God allowed Job to suffer yes but He also blessed him 10 fold. Not to mention that he got to hear God speak and reason directly to him personally. Job only questioned God but never once cursed Him while all of his friends spewed out their false theologies of God. And for this God graciously answered Job by asking him where he was when the universe was mapped out and if he knew the boundaries of the oceans and could he catch Leviathan (the first of two dinosaurs mentioned in the bible, mind you) with a hook, and did he know that God deprived the female ostrich of her wisdom and did not endow her with understanding.

Please read what the creator of the universe has spoken. God tells us many things about His creation and about Himself. Job is the most eloquent and oldest of all books. Universities are baffled of Jobs scientific explanations and marvel of its many literary styles. This is because the creator of the universe wrote it. And He wrote for you. How dare you down play it. You are undone. You should put your hand over your mouth.

In love,

Kelphi
