um... ok.
Tracer, God bless your for the post.
I was kinda looking for a more serious response though. You stated that God or Satan never make us sick. I will give two scriptures and drop it at that.
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Luk 13:16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan has kept bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
So the Devil does not make us sick, or harm us.? I suppose Job just got sick and all those bad things happened to him magically somehow. I think if you read your above post you will find Satan did do some things but kill him.
I won't even comment about the choice of foods we eat. We know that eating junk all day is not good. 1 Tim 4:3-4
you quoted Hebrews 12:6-8. What does that have to do with my question about Job?
If you study your Greek you would know that to Chastise is to teach, educate, correct, and to instruct. To scourge means to physically flog or to
figuratively flog.
There is nothing that would indicate sickness, or any type of destruction in your life. You can not take one scripture and make it mean something you want it to mean. We must compare with other scriptures (Isa 28) Spiritual with spiritual brother.
2Ti 3:16 All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
He gave us Apostles, Prophets, evangelist, pastor's and teachers. For what?
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
God is not using the tools of hell to train his own children.
So, God gives permission to Satan to destroy Job's stuff, effect his children, and make Job sick with boils. All because God wants to see if Job will curse him or not?
If that being the case then we have to assume.
God is not all knowing. He needs to set up test and experiments to find out if something is true.Test, like harming Job.
God can be tempted with evil making this crazy deal Satan presented to him.
(
James 1:13 ......God
cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man
Jas 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for
God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. Amplified
Unless I missed something somewhere, Those things that happened to Job were evil. They were not good things.
God will listen to a liar who is incapable of telling the truth.
Jesus said there is NO truth in Satan.
Now if you think those things about the God you serve, then I will pray for you. That's not my God...
God bless
Jesus Is Lord.
