Its also interesting to point out the conversation God has with Satan, he asks Satan if he has considered his servant Job, if you realize God knows the hearts and intentions of us all. He knew the answer to that, it wasn't God saying, Go mess with Job, it was God bringing to the forefront what he knew was in Satan's heart. God said it was in Satan's power, thats a statement of fact, not God saying, Go hurt my boy down there. | ||||||

Dear Miller, One has to be careful about eisegesis. We shouldn't read things into the text that aren't there -- even if it makes us feel more comfortable. All we have is the explicit statement of Scripture that God initiated and controlled things to the end that Job enters the pages of Scripture. We are not told what God was thinking nor what Satan was thinking. Thank you for the discussion. In Him, Doc |

We are told what Satan was thinking....'Have you considered my Servant Job' Do you think God didn't know something? Thats absurd to think he had no clue what the answer to that question was. God allowed the trial on Job, he had to, God himself said all power was given to Satan, Job wasn't perfected in Love was he? He had fear, and through fear, death will come. Don't blame my father for the fear that Job had. |
