Date: May 5th, 2024 2:34 PM Author: Wonderful range weed whacker In job god is an angry and petulant tyrant. He makes a deal with the devil to test job and after taking away all his possessions and relationships God goes on a giant tirade yelling at job for daring to question his decisions, while he never admonishes the devil for setting all this in motion
In other words God is not just all good but all good and all bad — he seems to embody all traits instead of just the good ones

God comes off as a complete asshole in Job, and I dont think God has time for that or really cares to partake in such pettiness. That said, i really like Genesis in and of itself, and Revelations comes in a close 2nd. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5525383&forum_id=2#47637456) |

This isn't even right, Job's wife maeks it through the entire story. I have no idea how somebody who's job it is to know this shit fucked that up.
