"God is not pleased with poorly applied theology...."

Is God pleased with anthromorphizations of Him that lead people to believe that He is some kind of magnified creature subject to fits of passion and emotion? That explanation was fitting in Job's time and relative position with respect to the evolution of the Revealed Word, but is is a primitive and archaic understanding of a God whom we now know to be Love.

Peace be with you

I find that people's mischaracterizations of God and scripture is simply because they fail to understand the way God works in our lives-much like that of Job's friends. While Job's friends rightfully characterize God's nature, they failed in understanding that God uses adversity in our lives (such as Job) to help us grow. This is the lesson of Job. Job, though he was a righteous man, still had plenty of room for growth and teaching. What you characterize as a "primitive and archaic understanding of God" shows that you fail to grasp the love and compassion of a teaching Father to a righteous subject.

Jas 5:11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

I wouldn't put too much stock in all this God is Love talk which is very new teaching. While God is Love, this statement deliberately ignores the fact that WE are NOT love; which God rightfully finds offensive simply because He is Love. He cannot deny Himself. We are enemies of God unless He helps us overcome this nature. And, without His rod and staff to constantly guide us, we will go against everything that He stands for. That is our nature. And it's a very bad idea to think otherwise.
