1 | Question from the story of Job | Job | kasterdl | 239097 | ||
Thank you for your reply, and I think that is what I needed to hear. These days with the social media, tv, internet etc, Satan has so many avenues to try and deceive people, that it even made me start to question. Again thank you very much, do you have a suggestion on an area of faith in the Bible that would help me? thank you |

2 | Question from the story of Job | Not Specified | kasterdl | 239085 | ||
I have been a devout Christian all my life, recently my faith has been waivering and I want to ask this question because I don't understand, not because I am trying to disprove any thing, I just need help. My question comes from the story of Job, from what I understand and I am paraphrasing here, that the devil went to God and told God that Job wouldn't be so faithful had he not been so blessed (this sounds to me like manipulation) so God granted the devil to take everything from Job, ruining his life, putting him into hardships no one should have to go through. So if God says though shall not tempt the lord, then what was that? Jesus says to be slow to anger, and quick to forgive, when the bible talks about God being a jealous, and vengeful God. This sounds contradictory to me, which is why I am so confused. If God was perfect and loving and impenetrable to sin then why did he succumb to it in the case of Job, even Jonah, etc? Why does God test us? How much faith do I need before God says ok I believe you, you have faith I will stop taking away now and start blessing you. I have been reading James, about the endurance of faith, but it seems contradictory to me, like do as I say not as I do. If anyone could help I would appreciate it, I don't want to lose my faith, and I want to believe, but can someone help me make sense of this? |
