Featured Term (selected at random):
The chief character in what many critics consider the most beautifully written book in the Bible. The author is unknown. From internal evidence it is speculated that he was an Israelite who wrote between 600 and 400 B.C. The Book of Job is a profound philosophic discussion of human suffering, with Job and several of his friends taking turns offering possible solutions to the problem of good and evil. Their efforts to find an answer to determine Yahweh's reasons for permitting such indignities to afflict a faithful believer were fruitless. Job and his friends realized the fatuousness of the popular belief that goodness and evil are rewarded in this life. Ultimately, there remains the dominant theme: faith in God must endure even when reason and understanding fail (Book of Job).

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
If you aren’t on this Catholic Word of the Day Ping list and would like to be, please send me a FReepmail.
At first, I thought the definition was going to be: “The one thing Occupy Wall Streeters fear above everything else.”
The Book of Job serves to prove that God will allow people to be tormented ,killed,and tortured just to win a wager with the devil.We call this love??If you did this to your children you would be sent to prison.I see no other way to resolve this.

Then look at it this way: It's a bit of a courtroom drama. The Satan enters the heavenly court and accuses Job. What Job goes through is a judgment ordeal, not unknown at that place and time, and he comes through justified.
I would love to see Job done as a stage play, and done straight.
That's a theme that you never hear anyone talk about.
God allows C-more to come on here and post and I do not blame God. He expects us to handle it with a charitable attitude.
