The next on God's chosen ones list is Job, and i would say he was by far the most unfortunate. It all starts when satan makes a bet with god that will eventually fall into the idea of testing Job's faith. This part, I found confusing and it initiated a great series of questions. First, it said something about satan being a son of God. Other thing that i really had a hard time understanding was why God listens to what satan has to say, Why does satan have a saying? Why does evil have a saying today?
Job suffers. His people are killed and after all he went through a seed of doubt starts to grow inside him. I am not a great beleiver of God. If he does exist then he is not perfect, powerfull, but i think he made mistakes. He made some bad choices as picking david further in the bible, and hey, he payed atention to what the live representation told him.
There are moments in life were beleivers start to doubt. When passing and struggling through an unfortunate event or enduring a terrible moment in life one may start wondering why this guy you are devoted to allows all this to happen, and wether he is with you for real. As many do, and with a really fair reason Job, doubts of God.
Job was passing through a difficult situation and ontop of everything he has crappy friends. They were causing more pain than what he already had. One said praclicly that he diserved it and other said he had to deal with it. Any how he had very bad friends. A friend is mainly someone you can trust, that will come to your aid and suport you when you need it. Even if they came unto him, the main part of suport was evidently lacking. With friends like Job's why have enemies.
