It is the issue. I have read, over the years, parts of the bible and I don’t claim ignorance of the text I just don’t believe it.
OK, I accept that. It was not my intention to offend you by sounding like "Ha, ha, I know more about this. Boy are you dumb!" I know sometimes my posts sound brusque, but my concern her was to try to answer, the best way I know how, the question or issue you posed. I believe your question was sincere, not just testing for theological inconsistencies. I hope The Lord permitted me to at least give a glimmer of explanation of why Job is in the Bible, and what you can gain from it.
Others in this thread also gave some hints, of the same nature. This book is one of grand scope and deep spiritual meaning. However, it is not likely to be easily grasped without Godly guidance, and not at all on a merely logical basis, in my opinion and experience. I hope you will pursue looking further into it.
If you have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, as I and others here have, you will probably come to appreciate more and more of the development of Job in his painful spiritual journey with The God who cares for him and is continually by Job's side to guarantee His trustworthiness.
I pray that the words of The God will produce the gift of credibility of His existence and the truthfulness of His Word to you.
With respect --
