A loving God would never give permission to Satan, the tester by the way, to brutalize a person just to prove that that person would still be a loyal slave to god no matter what happened...

Good valid thoughts there...
Poor Job and Poor Jesus His Son strung up on a cross and pierced...
Why did He not at least do to Jesus His Son as He did to Job -Reveal Himself and restore His Sons Glory...?!
"My kingdom is not of this world..." Who said this and what does it mean...?
Are there a Kingdom more Beauty True and Long Lasting then what Man perceives here on earth...? And what does it take to be a participant of this Kingdom...?
Does comfortly pleasant material life give one 1st class ticket to this Celestial Kingdom...? Does adherence to Spiritual Soul Values like Truth Honor Charity Righteousness no matter what even at the cost of ones own Death grant access to its Inner Courts...?

Choose world or choose Soul World - can one ride both horses at same time...?
If at a cross road and one had to choose...? Easy pleasant way or the hard pious way...?
Why did not Jesus Job and the Martyrs say "to Hell with it I denounce It This is to Hard"...?!
Beauty Quality and Worth of a Diamond becomes apparent and appreciated only after high pressure cuts and polishing - much like our Souls dont you think...?
Too concerned with our wordly lives which can be cut short and snapped away in an instant...we tend to forget or ignore that we are more then meets the eye - is this earth really our Real Home...if yes then why do we die...?!
