The Book of Job

I have always wanted to do a video on the book of Job. I find it amazing how Christians see this story as powerful, as it involves a lot of suffering and killing at the hands of their God. Can God really be this evil towards a devoted follower? Is this story a poor answer to the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" This video demonstrates why God is not an awesome God.

[Markw808]

Don't have all your facts right.

[bubbamickmac]

@Markw808 What do you mean?

[brentbodine1989]

ask yourself honestly.... if GOD does exist (which he obviously does) dont you think that a lesson this powerful is worth the suffering job went through? GOD can take away like job said, and he can also give back. he will return the life that he took from jobs sons and he will do so because he is so loving. if you had any sense at all you would realize that this life is temporary and eternal life is the big picture. i would gladly go through the same trials if i had the faith job had praise GOD

1. Job grew and matured thru this event

2. Others of that day saw Jobs growth in faith and the faithfulness of God

3. Others saw the same for 1000s of years after.

Hence, Job Himself and countless others were benefited for eternity by His suffering

@Malak070 Yes the Rolex Principle DOES Prove that God exists BUT that does NOT prove that the God of all creation is still the same god that Job was Fucked-over by ! The Universe is full of Extraterrestrials and very Powerfull beings BUT they are NOT GOD ! Chuck Norris has nothing to prove to anybody BUT "God" Does ?!! And least of all to the Satan ! of all assholes alive ?! Give me a fucken break !! OBIOULSY the "god" of Job is NOT the Supreme Godhead of the Cosmos but a Lie and a Myth.

@Gowardh Bullshit , Job lost his children and once a child is dead the only thing that can make that pain go away is to Bring him Back to Life NOT to replace him with another child. You Obiously Never lost a son or daughter ! Also what kind of God is so Stupid to Even Associate with the devil ! let alone make a Bet with Him ! Give me a Fucken Break ! The GOD I believe in has PERFECT Morals and Ethics and would not even let evil come Within a Million Miles of his Presence! Your god is a Lie !

God blessed Job with twice what He had afterwards. Again Jobs fear, and the sins his family committed were what caused Him to get into trouble not God! Ssay Jesus is lord and I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and arose from the dead fill me with The Holy Spirit in Jesus name Amen.

[Gowardh]

It is not God you are angry with but someone else so you blame God, but God is the one giving you the breath to live everyday, how can you curse Him, and attack His servant Job! The Bible is a Biography of God's acts and relationship to human kind though out History. Job is a book of triumph because this man choose to endure His faith in though the devil tried to make Him give it up. He is an example to you, that no matter how bad things are no man should curse His own creator.

[Gowardh]

LIsten first of all it is not fiction, second of all God didn't make Him suffer satan attacked Him God allowed it because His family caused Him to have open doors with their sins, But I wouldn't expect a sinner to understand this seeing as you are spiritually dead. You are dead, and spiritually dumb repent, stop being a slave to the devil while He only wants to take you to Hell, after using you to take others with you. Turn away from your hatred of God let God heal your broken heart.
