You are confused. Job was living in fear which is sinful behavior so Job was already in satan's hand and the devil was so slow he didn't even know.

All God did was set a limit on the devil forbidding him from killing Job. The devil had every right to attack Job because Job tells us plainly that he was in fear which is sinful and this is the reason God's hedge of protection was no longer available to protect Job.




Well milk boy we'll see who ends up where when it's all over.

Right now the old devil can slap you around at will be he can't do that to me.

That's a BOGUS idea, like you think you have to come up with some excuse for Satan attacking Job, just like Job's 3 friends who tried to get Job to admit guilt when Job WAS NOT GUILTY.

GOD allowed Satan to test Job, and nothing more. Job had the signs of being one of God's CHOSEN ELECT. That's why when the testing was all over, GOD gave Job a double-portion back of what he had lost!

GOD knew... His servant Job would not fall away, no matter what, and Job didn't. And when it was over, GOD also REBUKED Job's three friends who thought Job was guilty of something and was why he was being attacked, JUST AS YOU ALSO HAVE WRONGLY ASSUMED ABOUT JOB.

There's no hearing given to 'imposters' and 'counterfeits' like you, after giving you the scripture, you change your initial 'fairy tale'.

And you got the 'boldness' to falsely testify that Job sinned because he 'feared', and that's why satan was able to punish him?

Every true born again with the Holy Ghost and in the spirit know what the book of Job is all about, that he was 'faultless'.

He 'feared' GOD, and even prayed for his children who feared less GOD, and it was merely a challenge satan put to GOD in regards Job, and nothing else.

Since you're drinking 'milk' and a 'toddler', i don't blame you until you 'grow up'.

All Honor, All Praise, and All Glory be to ABBA FATHER because of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

To add, Job did not blame GOD or even curse HIM, even to the point Job cursed his birth to be of no singnifcant.

Innocent, not knowing anything nor for what reason, faithful servant to GOD(in front of angels in council in Heaven, GOD boasted to satan), lost every thing in one day.

His wife weak in her faith hence fear less GOD like the children, and unable to bear the big loss, instructed him to give up and curse the GOD he's been faithful to and preached apparently.

But he did reply persuading her that since they've received good things from GOD, also to receive bad things from GOD as well.

Not enough, satan even inflicted Job with 'boils' all over his body, homeless, Job had to find where there were burnt 'ashes', even to sit down, cushioning the 'boil' and 'pain'.

Even he had to pick up broken pottery in his surrounding just to scrape probably the burst 'boils'.

Normally having Jewish friends and under the Law of Moses themselves, supposedly as Job is cursed and become unclean, they would have avoided him totally.

But they visited him regardless they'd become defiled and unclean, even to throw ashes on themselves and mourned seated near Job 'silent for a week'. (didn't they have their business to tend to?)

They only spoke when Job opened up speaking, wow!

Well milkman we'll see who ends up where when it's all over.


And you got the 'boldness' to falsely testify that Job sinned because he 'feared', and that's why satan was able to punish him?

I'm not the one that said living in fear is sinful behavior. The Lord said that, not that you would care what the Lord said:

Revelation 21:7,8
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Job tells us he was living in fear:

Job 3:25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me

Milkman need to start believing God's Word and turn away from doctrines of devils before milkman get his self in trouble!


Every true born again with the Holy Ghost and in the spirit know what the book of Job is all about, that he was 'faultless'.

And then later when we start talking about Christian not supposed to be living in sin you'll turn around and claim no one is without sin cause milkman be confused and riding the fence

Job was heart right and sincere before the Lord, but that does not stop him from reaping what he was sowing

Walking in fear is not walking after the leading of the Lord and is walking after the flesh and so Job reaped corruption which is what caused God's hedge of protection to no longer protect him.

You are actually claiming it was God's will for satan to attack Job claiming satan works for God that God and the devil are good buddies and God gets a kick out of putting evil on people using his good buddy satan.

James 1:13
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man:

If you knew the whole counsel of God you'd know God is not the one tempting or testing anybody with evil.


Since you're drinking 'milk' and a 'toddler', i don't blame you until you 'grow up'.

You version of "grow up" is embracing doctrines of demons.

I'll pass.

Job 42:7-10 (God says that Job’s friends have spoken wrong of Him because He didn’t attack Job with evil, as they claimed)

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.


*Job prays for his friends and God accepts the faith prayers of Job. This opens the door for God to deliver Job from his troubles, and God blessed him with twice the amount of possessions that he had before satan’s attacks.

Take heed milkman! thumbsup2.gif

Does God ever ask our forgiveness?

No.


Not anywhere in the Bible does God ask our forgiveness.

Though he should.
He generationally cursed the whole human race forever due to the sin of the first two humans. And they were meant to sin by God's will.

Whereas in the human realm, God said everyone is responsible for their own sins. There is no generational sins. The sins of the father do not pass to the son.

That's God's will and rule for people now. But, he cursed all of humanity for eternity for the one sin of the mother and father of us all.

Only those who's daddy is the devil accuse God Almighty of wrong doing.

No, each person that was born has rejected the Lord and decided to live after the pleasures of the flesh and reject Him.


And they were meant to sin by God's will.

That's the false doctrines of reformed theology.

Brought to you by those who's daddy is the devil.


But, he cursed all of humanity for eternity for the one sin of the mother and father of us all.

Well then cure God and die... that will cause you to spend eternity in hell.

I recommend you REPENT and get off the highway to hell.... but you do you!

Job 3:25

'Toddler' teach yourself first before you teach the adult 'milkman' who supplies you with the 'best milk'.

Job was not living in the New Testament like you, for the quotes there in context are for your 'reckoning', as to workout your own salvation in fear and trembling.

As they are addressed to you all born again 'babes in Christ', still clinging on to 'milk' and yet to go on to 'meat'.

Not to Job of the Old Testament, for the Israelites had the Law of Moses and to live accordingly.

As to extensively quote from the New Testament that GOD despised those who 'feared', and this includes Job in the Old Testament and the consequences he paid?

Even to quote from James that, 'GOD tempt nobody', and apparently GOD did not tempt Job, but on the other hand satan did by the 'permission of GOD'.

This is to prove to satan that Job is indeed GOD's good and faithful servant, as GOD claim him to be during the council in Heaven.

satan is the one complained about Job to GOD that he's being 'pampered', therefore try giving him difficulties, and in return Job will curse GOD at HIS face, predicted satan.

Henceforth GOD took the challenge to prove satan wrong and Job came out as good and faithful servant in the end.


Dear Readers,


Job 2:
10. But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of GOD, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.


Next, first of all, Job 'feared' only GOD, that GOD gives good things and 'dreaded' also GOD gives evil things, and it truly happened in his life.

What about His prayer part before these evil things happened??

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ

Thank you for the intriguing questions.

I do not even know how to begin thinking about this level of theology.

Weigh in with your thoughts.

Blessings.

Are there examples in scripture? Zachariah 9:12—Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners who still have hope! I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles. Job, Epilogue.
(KJV) Zechariah 9:
12. Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;


Please take note how different the verses read and with the added words in yours the message is 'twisted'.

As though GOD is repenting and compensating them for their troubles He caused?

No!!

Israel frequently got in trouble with GOD by disobeying HIS teachings during peace and prosperity, and also other times during wars etc.

Besides those who had to face troubles for their faith, and those who had to pay for the troubles their fathers' caused, yet GOD is just and righteous.

And scripturally, GOD never repented, and demanded them to bring their petition against HIM, neverthelree due to HIS mercy and love, HE compensates, even by the verse above, 'the prisoners of hope'.

Their fathers who caused the trouble until the exile as prisoners are long gone, left with their certain generation ahead with hope, that GOD will show mercy once again.

When came to the Gospel even, 'all have sinned and fallen short of GOD's Glory', whether Jews or Gentiles.

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ

That milk is stale having come from the horned one

The truths taught in the New Testament are applicable as their is far greater revelation in the New Testament.

Maybe you'll be able to grow and learn about that someday.

Prophesy to yourself, that's fine, go easy on yourself man
