Bible Question (short): Question re: Job |
Question (full): Let me preface this all by saying that I'm reading from NIV. 1. RE: Job 2:3 - it just sounds weird to me that Satan could "incite" God against Job. I realize that God is allowing Satan to test Job's faith, but I guess I'm just feeling that Satan is also testing God by "inciting" Him to also test Job. Does this question even make sense - can you understand what I'm getting at? Any thoughts, anyone? 2. RE: Job 2:10 - Job replies to his wife, ". . . Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" We know that trouble does not come from God, but that He does allow it into our lives for testing our faith or as the consequence for our actions. But, did the people of Job's time not know of Satan, and only thought of trouble as being God's wrath? Thanks for any clarification you can provide me! |
