Man raised back to life in Jesus' name

I think original sin makes all the suffering in the world understandable, and that without it there is no reasonable -- or acceptable -- explanation for it.It also explains why Job could suffer and yet be a righteous man -- because nobody is perfectly righteous no matter how righteous. As I said already though. So I guess you're convinced or you're not.

There is also nowhere in the entire Bible a "mention" of God as existing in three persons, but it is an inference from dozens if not hundreds of statements nevertheless. One has to read the Bible intelligently, not literal-mindedly looking for things to be said "in so many words."

Let me say this more clearly.Original sin is inferred from other parts of the Bible. The Bible is understood to be a consistent whole by my branch of Christianity. Therefore whatever is true for one book is true for all books. It does not have to be stated. Other parts of the Bible say clearly that there is NO one righteous, no not one. So applying these truths to the Book of Job we understand that Job's genuine righteousness is nevertheless imperfect or relative. Therefore it is possible for him to suffer. Yes, God decreed his suffering at the request of the devil. This is the reason for his suffering. But it would not have been possible if Job were perfectly righteous.
