Free will is also about making choices. Which Job did. He chose to stay with God. You see stoping bad things to happen as the only way of protecting someone. Faith also acts as protection.
Why should God and Job fear obstacles? Isn`t love also about letting others choose what they want?
The question is not so much about if Job can stop the devil or not, but about letting him choose and fully act as a free person. In the end, if Job had lost his faith he would have given up and despite all his love for god made him hang on and preservere.
If God didn`t love Job, why reward - even in double?
The book of Job is to teach that despite what the devil throws at you if you hang on (choose) to your faith you will be rewarded in one way or another.
"god encourages in order to spite the devil and further inflate his own ego."
your presonnal interpretation.

So if God doesn`t give anything is bad, but if He does give He`s still bad? What would make Job happy? Probably God knew what it was and gave it to him - and more as reward, like when people are given heaven for their faith.
Nothing points to people being as valuable as things to be replaced lke things. Not here, not anywhere.

Or maybe you are just reading more than it`s there because of your hatred for God?

You seem to just be babbling nonsense honestly. And as I expected, this whole conversation is going in circles because you can't/refuse to understand what I'm saying.

Since when is knowingly torturing someone 'love'? Why should god allow satan to torture Job and his family like that, all the prove a point? Why does god have to prove anything to satan, and why is proving satan wrong more important then the well-being of his subjects? And what makes it worse is that being all knowing, this entire event was simply pointless and cruel.

Job had to go through obstacles? So I guess that torturing and killing Job's family was no big deal, I mean they're just replaceable objects, no? They're of no importance, only Job is, no? Their entire value in lfie is determined by their being Job's family, a sort of objects that are his property, which can be destroyed and replaced by new ones, no?

God gave Job a 'reward'? So a new family is a reward for passing the 'test', a replacement for what was lost? Again, you're viweing humans as mere replaceable objects. You're also forgetting that God essentially put Job through that for no good reason whatsoever, other than to satisfy a whim.

You have a very infantile POV, but it's clear that there's no reasoning with you. More people like you should move to North Korea. You're what Kim Jong Il's looking for in his citizens.

 

P.S.: I don't hate imaginary entities.
