How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? Still unsatisfying, but at least it answers my question. |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? It seems like you're explaining the reason for the bet. Which I didn't understand either, but my question is about how we can reconcile the bet with God's supposedly all-good, all-loving character. Explaining by saying that Job isn't all-good or all-loving doesn't work either. Humans aren't defined to be all-good and all-loving, whereas God is. |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? @JonEricson Not exactly sure how that works but I think I might have just created a chat room. :/ |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? @Jas3.1 That answer is too silly. It's basically saying that God is love, but not by any human definition. The human definition is what matters to humans. Either he's love by our standards or he's not love. |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? @JonEricson If I understand your answer correctly, you're saying that God contradicts himself? So he just says he's love, but really it's a contradiction? |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? Perhaps I did not phrase myself well. I do not think God was playing a joke on Job. I think God was joking with Job's life. There's a difference between God allowing evil to happen, and God actively participating in the evil. I think that making a bet with Satan is not necessarily evil, but is definitely not good. My question is about how to interpret the bet with Satan. |

How can God be loving in light of his behavior with Job? Thank you for your involved answer. However, my question is not focused on the death of Job's children. Tis focused on God's action in making a bet with Satan that resulted in the death of Job's children (among other things). In relation to the bet, Job's children were completely innocent. They did nothing to incur a bet that would end their lives. But again, their untimely deaths are not the focus. |
