[Re: Job] Nothing can happen without God's permission and God looks upon it as He is responsible in allowing things to happen although He is not the perpetrator of evil events

Interestingly, we have developed the idea of "command responsibility" in the post-WWII judicial system. The person in charge is responsible even if he or she never directly participated but somehow allowed a crime to be committed while they are in command.

This was the basis for the Nuerenberg trials and the subsequent bad imitations of the same. Yet, we do not see any "command responibility" in the case of Job. We separate the soldier from the Commander, and blame, curiously, the solders for a suggestion and not the Decision-Maker.

If satan could entice God to ruin Job for no apaprent cause, than how could God punish Adam and Eve for letting the devil talk them into eating the forbidden fruit?

Satan didn't entice God. God made Satan. God made Job. God knew what He was doing.

Would you care to explain to me why God stated that He cause Job's ruin?
