Today we dive into the Book of Job – the story about a humble man who had everything violently ripped away from him by God, who was testing his loyalty and faith.

Fascinating and one of my favorite stories in Scripture.
While I think the moral behind this story is not only valid, powerful, timeless and incredibly important there is one teeny tiny "problem" I have with the story of job that actually gives atheists a field day when it comes to criticizing religion or religious stories!
The fact that an All Powerful, I repeat, ALL Powerful God is actually making bets…..again I repeat BETS, like a common Casino Junkie with ANYBODY let alone the DEVIL is so absurd, so beyond idiotic that it could be its own Religion!
Either our Ancestors had called God another form of "powerful", which wasnt All Powerful but later was turned into such or religious people have no idea what their own Terminology actually means. All Powerful means ALL Powerful. It means that if you are God, you DO NOT NEED TO GET INTO BETS WITH THE DEVIL TO PROVE SOMETHING!!!!!!! In fact, an all powerful god could prove anything with ZERO EFFORT to ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME INSTANTLY! No need to needlessly torture anyone to prove a point (to the devil of all people….I think the Devil did not care whether job had faith or not, he just wanted to prove that God was a petty and arrogant schmuck who would TORTURE an innocent man to prove a point to ..THE DEVIL!!!!!!!! I say this round goes to the Devil honestly, tricking a "all powerful" God into making bets with him that end up in the TORTURE of an innocent man is beyond devious)
Now if we could "correct" that slight misconception there, this story and its important message could reach more people, which would be a good thing!
Job did not worship God until the very end of the book. Job talked about God but not to God. He was a works based person until his works were properly framed as was all of his friends. The moral was to walk with God, talk to God, believe in God. What good works you may do are considered appropriate for someone who house's the Holy Spirit as a Christian.
God gaslights job pretending the reason he beset job was of cosmic level knowledge, but in reality it was a simple bragging bet to prove a point to of all people Satan!!! How in any way does this make god seem just?? Why would god even need to prove anything to anyone, especially the devil? Absolutely diabolical behaviour!!!
God protected Job from all evil made Job rich blessed Job with family large amounts of animals (food) large amounts of land and a wife so that means God gave job favor and God woke job up everyday and bragged about job basically saying "I'm well pleased with job" God gave job a sound mind and God I'm sure Blessed job with much more job did not recognize and much more job did recognize. —God did this for job.

Now when God basically say job do something for me "hold your Faith in God and put the adversary to shame" job did just that with all his might and God showed mercy to job and Blessed job with more God remembers humans are only dust.

So I Alex Tyson am guilty of receiving from God and still complaining and not being content at times God knows if there is others guilty or not but Im just thankful God even has put up with me this long. THANK GOD FOR GOD

I pray I repent and be humble(obedient) to The Lord and I depend on God Joy strength and mercy to be obedient to God Forever in Jesus name Amen.
