Opinions aside., differences aside., You guys and gals are entitled to stand fast on your ideas of Job and the interpretations you have come to believe. I see no threat here to see Job differently. Job is like us. I believe he probably was not saved when he first began his journey to see God in truth. Just like me when I began looking into the truth about Jesus. I had a lot to learn.
As Job gets into the situations and tribulations in life., he learns to see God in truth and not in and by human reasoning. As the author of these posts said., Job didn't even know there was a devil. Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible and I've come to see Job is a book about the goodness and graciousness of God. I agree with Ellis here that Job was just as stubborn and short sighted in his life as we are and were.
I'm sorry to disagree with some of you but that's what Bible discussion is about. I've been blessed to learn about the love of God in Christ and now instead of the book of Job going counter to that., I can see the book of Job points to God's goodness and mercy and generosity and blessings to us.
