1 | Why does God bet with Satan in Job? | Bible general Archive 1 | Birdee | 71814 | ||
Good point with Abraham, however, this was between God and Abraham, not God and Satan. Plus,in the end, God stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son. I understand that God gives us more than we can handle so that we rely upon Him, however, Job was a very faithful servant and hadn't strayed away for this fact to apply here. | ||||||
2 | Why does God bet with Satan in Job? | Bible general Archive 1 | David_24597 | 71816 | ||
Well, this was obviously a test of Abraham's faith. Did God need any proof of his faithfulness? On the other hand God also revealed His plan for mankind's salvation here. He put Abraham in a position that showed Abraham what it was like to give up his son for a sacrifice for sin. Just because there is no Biblical record of Satan's hand in this (like there is in Job) doesn't mean there wasn't a similar conflict between God and Satan concerning Abraham. The book of Job shows how God "brags" about His faithful people to everyone. Naturally I think he would have done the same with Abraham and Satan would have taken offence with this. I know there is no Biblical evidence of this about Abraham. I was using Job as an example. | ||||||
