Hello I"m new here, so i'm not to sure how this board works yet, but I'm giving it a try.
I've studied Job for a while and I find it a very interesting book also.
Throughout this story of Job....He loses all his children, his wealth and most of his friends.....gets disrespected from his wife..... this part I've really studied could not figure out why God would allow this.
And one day it came to me, None of these things were ever Job's or God's, they were of the ruler of this world, Satan. When it comes to all the earthly things, and people, all is not of God, all are lost as God sees it, none are worth anything BUT man's soul, which God doesn't own either, until man gives God his soul.
In this writing all that satan says is a lie.....for he is the father of lies........
As for his 3 friends I think they are a type and shadow of the prevelant religions of this world.
They all assumed they knew God's mind....and they were all wrong......only Job and his friend Elihu.
Thanks for letting me comment
