    hows that head of urs vas???

    i find it quite interesting that including me learnt something new and apparently that was shameful........then i guess we shud also apologise for contributing

    and i belive but i stand to be corrected that u stated  "im not really of a particular opinion, but that's what the Pope said (not the above phrase) but the pope said :"God allowed Job to be tested to correct his self righteousness"

    and THUS what exactly were u trying to prove that u were right or that the concept u proposed which I, mind u cleared up with EVIDENCE was right???

    Aye Kerestina,

    My head's doin just fine. When i said "Im not of a particular opinion" i mean, im not reading the story of job with any ulterior motives that suit my particular way of thinking... im open to what really is the problem. THat's why i said that. But when i said it, no one believed me.

    So shame.

    Now... its not a big big awful shame, its a small shame - which is just about right: shame not too big that it drowns u in guilt, but not too small so it is forgotten. Medium shame on all of u that disagreed with me.

    so you are now assuming that those who contributed to your post have 'ulterior motives that suit ones way of thinking' and thus u mean we have hidden agendas and were trying to sway ppl with our beliefs............plz do explain....well on the contrary if U had found the source or book written by H.H initially no one would have disagreeed......i dont even see where u get disagreed from it was a discussion.......you know like the exhange of ideas and opinions........to some degree (very slight) i find a truth in what u have just said.........you questioned and explored and didnt take opinion at face value....good

    ok

    well Job's sin was self righteousness

    now was it because of this sin he was chosen by God to be tested?

    What are you talkin about?

    agree with vassillos, Job never comitted  a sin

    i saw the movie and it says that God wanted to test him by letting the devil tempt him, first i beleive his sheep and cattle died.

    Then the Devil told him that that was not enough. God gave permission to the devil to strike his family and his house, that is why Job's children dieed. Then the devil still did not believe God {that Job was NEVER going to loss his faith in him}. He allowed the devil to cause him to have a very bad diesease.

    The townspeople said that he was a very sinful man b/c of what happened to him. They did not know the real reason why this happened

    Job suffered for years but STILL, he thanked God everyday for giving him all of what he has. His friends evenre told Job that he was a sinful man.

    Finally, the devil believed God

    God cured Job, gave him back his house, his welath, double the amout of sheep, cattle oxn etc. thayt he had and gave him children again

    Thanks Egy,
    Job was a good man. God told the devil that there is no one like Job. The devil told God that Job was only good because he was being protected by God's generosity. The devil wished to test job, but God allowed it to happen because he knew that although Job was good, that he was self righteous, and through such tribulation, he could be corrected. God can use the temptations the devil gives us to also our benefit.

    That's my feelings anyway,
