Bible Discussion Thread

@LifeObserver I personally have a hard time interperting a passage that seems very straightforward to mean anything but what it says. There was no purpose to test Job for he was a good man who did nothing to deserve the treatment that god allowed and imposed upon him. If Job was intentionally hurt for our benefit, so we could read a book later and look for how great it is to serve god blindly, that still doesn't make the case for Job's plight just. I'd like to look at the "happy ending" of the story...but I personally feel it to be bittersweet. His original children and fruits of his labors were taken from him, and he was tortured for no reason...again...I don't feel that this is a good case for a just god
