    Some times it helps to introduce the faith people to the world like job

    Actually in Isaiah chapter 14:12-16, satan says I WILL 5 times!
    God is not destroying people's lives. One of satans other names is: DESTROYER.
    Pass it on. He is the accuser of the brethern. Revelation 12:10, Job 1:6,12 and Zechariah 3:1

    Part of our problem is that we do not trust God. We think he does all the painful things. Like why is he allowing satan to get near us? That's that voice of the ACCUSER. Another name of satan... or, why doesn't Jesus just heal everybody?
    Something I do is read all the red scriptures in my Bible. I wanna imprint what Jesus does, what he says. Something really happens to your perception. He doesn't argue, debate or nitpick.

    Biblical fact: Job had SIX daughters. We are told the names of the youngest 3.

    Get rowdy when the accuser shows up.

    Son of God
    "The plural, "sons of God," is used ( Gen. 6:2, 4) to denote the" pious descendants of Seth. In Job 1:6; 38:7 this name is applied to the angels.
  • T F H - In Reply on Job 1 - 4 years ago
    I don't know. If Satan wasn't here to temp us we could all live a pure life as Jesus wants us to live.
  • Adam - In Reply on Job 1 - 4 years ago
    That's a good question and the Bible doesn't seem to offer a clear explanation of that. It says Satan will be destroyed in the end. In the meantime Satan shows evil in the world, a clear contrast from good. Makes good and evil easy to distinguish. So perhaps that is utilized in a sense for people to choose who they want to follow. Why do you think he exists?
  • T F H - In Reply on Job 1 - 4 years ago
    Adam why does God allow Satan to exist?
  • T F H on Job 1 - 4 years ago
    The story of Job is difficult. It wants us to believe in certain Godly behaviors which contradict all that we have been taught.
  • Sammy on Psalms 82 - 4 years ago
    Part 3: In Job 1:6 the angels sons of God were congregating, along with Satan and his angels. We know it was off-world by the language used visiting Earth, up and down it, etc as angels are only beings capable of interstellar travel not men. Also read Luke 10:18 "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven" which ties-in verse 7 "But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes".

    Material possessions? Servants were killed, animals were killed and all 10 children were slaughtered! Are you reading the same story?

    I met he doesn't want to be WITHOUT God for eternity.
  • Freedomborn*** - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Did I blame God for the death of my Babies No I was still believing I came from an Ape and He was made up but He has assured me I will be United with them in Heaven which I give Heartfelt Thanks for. What the others have shared here has much Truth Thomas but I have heard others say simular to you even Believers but to have Heart Understanding we need God's Wisdom which we ask for Prov2:1-7 - Annie
  • Freedomborn -Grannie Annie..... - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    As promised Thomas I'm going to share how our God of Love brought Good out of Satan's evil. In the early 70s I was the first Woman to have an Ultrasound for Pregnancy they were trying to save my baby and find out why I and other Woman were loosing their babies. What they found out has saved 1,000 of Babies all around the World, it's a Blood disorder called The Rhesus Factor. Thomas God Loves You.
  • Freedomborn - Grannie Annie - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Thomas in referance to Children being killed I had 7 Children 3 were Stillborn the others died at almost 5 mths gestation God is Love and Love cannot do evil Satan is evil and cannot do Good God brought Good out of the Evil that Satan afflicted on me and on other Pregnant Woman I will share how soon God has also filled my Heart and Arms with Children all my Life I have Wonderful Joyful Memories

    Thank you Thomas for your response, it's late in Aussie Land, I was hoping to respond sooner but I have been having trouble Posting Comments, it could be hacking again but I will leave you a few Scriptures now to read about God's Wisdom which none of us were Born with and I will share about them and some others tomorrow. Proverbs 4:5 and James1:5. Take Care - Annie.
  • Sally on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Look at things in the spirit Job knows he is a spirit and the body doesn't last. He wants to be with God forever like all of us who know this truth.
  • Adam - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Thomas, you replied to my comment which already answered your question. Did you not look up the first verse? Other examples are easily found through search, like John 14:6, John 3:16, etc. A Christian is a follower of Christ. If you do not follow Christ, you're not a Christian. If you're not a Christian you won't enter heaven, no matter how 'good' you claim to be. Matthew 7:21-23 is proof.
  • Ruben Hartness - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    All I can say is have a good trip. I pray that sometime, someway, your eyes and ears will open to the greatness of God. I can't tell you what to believe or what church to go to for learning more of God's teaching but I am betting you will someday go to your knees and ask God's forgivness for judging Him who created you. May God bless you.
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    "A Christian is a man, woman, or child who has experienced a spiritual new birth through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. That new birth is a gift of God, through Jesus Christ, given by the grace He freely offers to all". Anyone who lives a good life as directed by Jesus would be considered a Christian. No church, No organization and No Temple makes a Christian. It is between God and man.
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    For Christ sake, all you speak of is material possessions when innocent servants, animals and all ten children were slaughtered by the premeditated acts of God working with Satan. Do we not morn for the loss of lives. Can we not question for what was to be gained other than a man still standing for his faith. Did you know Job didn't know God was behind this plot?
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Adam, Where does it say that one must become a Christian to have eternal life?
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Ruben, I don't know what I believe. I honestly envy those who can go through life thinking that God is watching over his children but it is so very hard to do when you see all of the crimes committed by man without any intervention for the life of the innocents. And you know, it wasn't just Job, what about his servants, children and the poor animals? Satan lost nothing, only a bet.
  • Adam - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    "All sins have been forgiven forever. So, everyone will go to heaven, everyone. I guess Satan or no Satan, it doesn't matter."

    These 3 sentences are untrue. Romans 10:9, John 1:9 One must become a Christian follow Jesus to be saved. Matthew 7:13-14 - most WILL NOT be saved and will go to hell. One of satan's lies is to convince people he doesn't matter or doesn't exist 1 Peter 5:8, 1 John 3:8.
  • Ruben Hartness - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    This isn't a sport--God proved to the world He is LORD. He proved to Satan that Satan could NOT win a true believer over no matter the trial. He knew Job fit that description. Job never lost faith, have you? Yes Job suffered but he is now in the bosom of Abraham and Satan is in the pit. God loves His children and doesn't play games. Upgrade your faith to understand. It's your discernment.
  • I AM THAT I AM: - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    You speak your words, not GOD'S. For GOD is not the GOD of the dead, but of the living. Of the eight who are alive and remain, none are thee. So strive with thyself and agree with thyself and lie to thyself and pack thy own bags and run by thyself and hide by thyself and cry by thyself and die by thyself. For Michael spake of you, See here the envious devil as he blasphemes the Holy Ghost and GOD:
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    Annie, I know this is off the subject of Job but, how did you acquire God's wisdom?
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    So, you are saying that God offering up Job to Satan knowing full well Satan would try to destroy Job's faith in God was not a bad thing. And all that transpired after that, was just through the actions of Satan. God holds no responsibility for his part in the deconstruction of Job. Oh, how would you like to have your children killed and then someone sends over replacements?
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    We have already been forgiven. Jesus dies on the cross for all past, present and future sins so that we may all have eternal life. All sins have been forgiven forever. So, everyone will go to heaven, everyone. I guess Satan or no Satan, it doesn't matter. And if the story of Job is for real and since I have free will, then no, I do not forgive God for his actions.
  • Thomas F Hills - In Reply on Job 1 - 5 years ago
    I respectfully think if someone commits a heinous crime, that was by their own free choice or free will to do so. That person may have been influenced by environmental factors or driven by genetic imbalances or imperfections and yes, one might say they had a devil in them but, not literally. I know I am getting off the subject of Job but, perhaps not.
