JL I see your a man of faith..but I just to put things in its proper perspective.
God did put Job to the test! God and Satan had a wager that Job will start cursing God once he (Satan) will inflict him with tremendous sickness, financial difficulties and you name it...Job even had a terrible infectious disease believed to be Leprosy at time which is considered no cure! ..

God said you can do anything to him but you promise me you would not kill him!

And the wager was set!!! We all know Job even sang praises to God despite all the tribulations he was inflicted upon. He did not once blame God for putting him to the test! We know how the story ended.

You see God dont look at your goodly deeds He looks at your heart! Just like how he used King David!

King David is the most sinful man in the bible but God exonerated him and made him King! Why?

That is why when we pray the Lords Prayer! We say thou shall not put us to the test but deliver us from evil! Amen.

Because we all know we all fall short of how Job’s heart towards God.
That is a fact!
But its possible!

Do you think God is doing a wager with Satan again this time of the Pandemic?
Only our faith could answer that!

Like giving a child a piece of candy only to take it away from them so you can watch them cry. I'm not obligated to give the kid candy, but once I do I've set precedence.
The gift is not of this world and God doesn't guarantee protection from evil or harm on earth!

I thought one of the gifts was this world. How could this world not be of this world? :confused: :icon17:

Yes. Satan stated that job is only righteous because of the things god give job for being so. Job thought that by appeasing god (as opposed to being WITH God), he received all the riches. God allowed satan to take away all of jobs blessings. That was the main theme of the book of job.

Arguably, the entirety of Judaism is at least pork-adjacent given the views on diet!

Job did not sin from his lips.....

This shows that even though he didnt speak badly of God, his heart was was leaning the other way.

In that case, it's a punishment for you and a gift for the rest of us.

I don't have any questions for God where the answer won't trigger a hundred more questions. As an infinitesimally small being in an infinitely large universe, that endeavor seems pointless. Chances are I wouldn't be able to understand the answer anyway. I've got other priorities in this lifetime than worrying about shìt I have no control over.

All I want from my deity is a little consistency ;)
Keep asking why and you will find out. Ask me how I know. It may not be the answer you are looking for.
