Why would a loving, caring, compassionate god create the ultimate in evil and then allow this evil to torment his own beloved creation?
He would not.
He did and he still does.
Past events may become sensible when the Truth is considered.
The God enacts decisions based on motivating impulses of Love.
He is incapable of doing otherwise.
Are you not familiar with the book of Job?
Indeed.
God proves a point to Satan by allowing Satan to take everything from Job, wife, children, health, etc...
He does not enforce evil or Love.
The God makes One point - Job's spirit does not belong to death.
He naturally proceeds salvaging the infected being.
Just so God can say, See! I told you Job was a good man. Well gosh! God knew Job was a good man.
The present opinion suggests it the one way to secure Job's spirit.
The God likely cares less of recognition via diobedience.
It seems less helpful than one may think it.
There was no reason to prove this point to Satan.
Was there another way to secure Job's spirit?
How else could Job continue Life?
If I were God at that point and time, I would have told Satan to go suck an egg.
lol - I feel ya ...
Providing He did not have to turn His other cheek, the God may likely punch 'em in the face.
There was no reason why God should have allowed Satan to do what he did to Job.
Other than it not being His responsibility.
Imagine what the world would be like without boils ...
Yet, realistically, is the God an avon representative?
The present opinion suggests another in charge of cosmetics.
He does not does not save your body, but rather your Life.
Sure, God made it all good again ...
Thank you for conceding this.
... but at what cost?
Job's wife? Dead.
Job's children? Dead.
What about those people?
What about their hopes and dreams?
Does Job not mourn for his wife and children?
How could he not?
Yet, surely they are united ...
The hopes and dreams of Job and his family lay reconciled in continuation of Life.
Better to live with chicken pox for 100 years than, after One, die without them.
How can God make that right?
You have suggested, against all odds, He did.
This opinion concedes ...
Seems like God likes to play fast and loose with emotions and with human life in general.
The present opinion asserts mankind plays fast and loose
with emotions and lives of individuals within the species.
You would disagree?
A fairly cavalier attitude, don't you think?
Indeed.
Yet one that human moral authority maintains.
One Love
