Bible Question:
Why was Satan permitted to come before God with the Sons of God? God doesn't have to prove anything to Satan, but yet he offered up Lot? Why? |
Bible Answer: Bebra, Good question. God doesn't have anything to prove to Satan. Satan was trying to prove something to God. He challanged God to remove His protection from Job and asserted that once that was done and Job began to suffer he, Job, would turn away from God and not be the upright man that he was. God said: "I'll take that bet!" And God won. He always wins. This is a good stroy telling technique. Notice how Job 1:7 ties in with 1 Peter 5:8. Emmaus |
