Job

[nobspeople]

Was the story of Job, in the bible, a real story (God really allowed these things to happen to Job) or was it a story meant to convey a message?

If it was to convey a message, what's the message?

If it was a real story, why did God have to do this if he knew Job's character?


Additionally, how do Christians reconcile the Christian view of Job with Job in other religions? Or do they?

I assume you are brushed up on Judeo-Christian theology. What doesn't make sense to you?

Never claimed or claiming to be an expert, but decades worth of living the life I'm more than 'brushed up' on it. What doesn't make sense? The list is too long and not thread related. Perhaps a thread of 'what doesn't make sense' would be a better place for that conversation?

Perhaps I can provide you some source material you may find interesting.

There's a lot I find interesting - this very site is interesting.

But are you acknowledging that they (those things) happened?

Not sure what 'those things' are to which you refer.
