1 | Why does God respect Satan's opinion | Job 1:8 | G. Preston | 233092 | ||
Finder, I don't think G-d was asking satan for an opinion. We should keep in mind that G-d asked other folks questions thru out the Bible. All, while he knew what was in their hearts. The encounter with satan concerning Job was no different. I submit what G-d allowed Job to endure (not...caused) was for His work which could include the following reasons; 1) He knew Job would not forsake his position and wanted that demonstrated to the world regardless of satans' attack; 2) He ....'may choose' ....not to know the depth of our commitment and wants it continuously demonstrated, thus He allowed Job to be tribulated. In Bible history and even today we see Christians paying a price. The Bible tells us we may go thru tribulations as we follow Christ during this physical life. G-d works in mysterious ways(to us)but, it is righteous. |

2 | Why does God respect Satan's opinion | Job 1:8 | Morant61 | 233093 | ||
Greetings Preston! I don't disagree with what you said, but it is worth noting that in Job God never explains His actions. :-) In fact, every attempt to 'explain' them, even Job's, was rejected by God. So, I agree with you that God's actions are always righteous, but I am always hesitant to 'explain' His actions. ;-) We simply have to trust Him, no matter what the circumstances in our life. For the most part, this is exactly what Job did. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Why does God respect Satan's opinion | Job 1:8 | EdB | 233094 | ||
Most excellent answer! I also think the reason Job is recorded in Scripture is to show us the folly of man's attempt to explain God. God has clearly stated His ways are not man's ways. | ||||||
