| sapphi_snake said: 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.

The one who tortured was Satan. So no, it wasn`t out of love.
When God made us He made us out of love. The thing is He doesn`t want us to follow one path. Loving us He gave us the chance of even denying Him.
Being free is that. The real question to Job ended up being about what he wanted. It`s no different from when Jesus was tempted. The devil also tempted Him and He chose, of course that didn`t stop the devil from doing everything in his power to deviate Jesus from God. And the same happened to Job.
So, it`s not a question of proving something to Satan. Life is meant to be a relationship with God, we just accept it or not and the devil will do everything in his power to keep us away from Him. It`s the same for everyone and Jesus has it no diffferently.
Who says his family wasn`t important? Won`t they, victims of Satan`s evil, also receive their reward?
I think you are being too literal when it comes to the words "reward" and "give". Seems you are not looking at the feelings behind them.
God rewarded him with hapiness. And what would make him happy? Family. So God joined him with another woman who would give him sons. Why is this part different than before everything started. God also gave him the first time around.

Me neither, since my feelings are for real things. Aren`t yours?
