incorrect. He afflicted Job greatly with sores and disease. Satan used BOTH people and the physical world to torment Job.//
This was a specific case not a typical case. God had to remove the hedge around Job to allow Satan to do anything directly to him.
what conceivable basis is there for saying this? There is nothing in scripture which suggests Satans power against Job was specific to that situation. Just because God chose to reveal that specific case in his revelation doesnt mean there couldnt have been many other similar situations. There are many scholars who contend that Jobs tribulations are symbolic of the battle all Godly men and women face in the battle against Satan.
