From days back like in the middle ages to know life has changed and by change I mean religious views. Many people deny God and his existence isn’t accurate. Many people say to today that God is just a myth that he doesn’t even exist. In todays world many believe that science is the answer to most question. Science is reason and that what people want today. Those that question God question like this come up saying why is there starving children? Why are their hurricanes that cause chaos and leaves people homeless? Why is their starvation? Why are their homeless people living in the streets? All this question sums up and question Gods existence. For those that pray most of them keep their faith, but most just pray for the wrongs reasons. Most people pray on asking God “I need your help” when he is only needed. God works in mysterious ways and that’s what many churches would say. I myself don’t question God, but I question most of his followers and the people running the churches, but the point is that I keep my faith in God. They’re were times when I was in Job position. I questioned his existence by asking him why do you cause chaos and cause people their life’s. For instance, hurricane Katrina cause many people their life’s and I question why did this happen. I even asked my self why weren’t you there when those people needed you the most. Why did you let those people die? I was young, but I …show more content…

    The “Book of Job,” written in the period between the 7th and 4th centuries BC, is one of the most remarkable pieces of literature ever known to humankind. It also is a moral tale of leadership. It tells the story of Job, who retains his trust in God, in spite of the series of horrific trials he is exposed to. To emphasize the importance of this masterpiece of Hebrew poetry, the famous French novelist Victor Hugo allegedly has said that if all the world’s literary efforts were to be destroyed, and he could save but a solitary sample, it would be “Job.” The question in the story is “why bad things happen to good people?”…

    Even his wife told him to curse God and die. Yet if he knows that God is also in the storm, he will be comforted and know that God has been sustaining him. Second, God is in control.

    But instead he tells her “‘you are talking like one of the senseless women. Should we accept only what is good from the true God and not accept also what is bad?’ In all of this, Job did not sin with his lips” (Job 2:9, 10). I didn’t ask why he selected this particular scripture to read to me, however, I imagine it is because if he had continued in his ruinous course, he would have lost just as much as Job had.…

    Job faces many curses that portrays God as an unreliable figure. Job condemns God and the words of the Deuteronomic Equation.

    As stated earlier, the divine have the ability to create, destroy, and rule over others. According to many religions, deities are all-knowing whereas the humans don’t even have the ability to comprehend everything that comes from the divine. Humans are naturally curious so they constantly attempt to understand what they cannot. In the case of Job, he questions G-d’s choices and ends up with a lecture on how small he really is. After some reflection, Job comes to a realization and states, “I see how little I am.…

    When the Good Suffer I examine my response to the Kings and Deuteronomic possible interpretations of relationships between God and his people under Immanuel Kant’s view of the golden rule, that “A deontological normative theory holds that moral worth is an intrinsic feature of human actions, determined by formal rules of conduct”. Thus Job’s suffering is to me the antithesis of a pragmatic religious and spiritual living grounded in the commandments. As a matter of fact, my own questioning of the existence of God derives from the same principle of a God who offers punishment for good deeds. As he said in 13:23–24 , "Make me know my transgression and my sin.…

    Regardless, Job continues to be devoted to God, and saying his life has seen no sin. This is the turning point of this story, God again allows Satan to punish Job, but this time physically. Job is now tired, sick, and severely affected by what Satan forced upon him. Remarkably, Job doesn’t denounce God, but rather asks for an explanation from him as to why are these misfortunes happening. His three friends think they have the answer, but they don’t.…

    It appears that this friend of Job doubts his devotion to God. He states, “Remember: who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off? As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:7-8). Eliphaz’s speech seems to suggest that he believes that Job was not innocent before God.…

    The third idea that excited me was on page 54, discussing that Job’s friends “voiced” Satan’s point of view. I enjoyed this chapter the most. I have not studied much in Job and don’t understand a lot of it but knowing that Job’s friends are wrong, certainly makes a lot of sense. They come from the world’s point of view, and closely reflect today’s idea of Karma. Job’s friends believe in God, they just have a bleak misunderstanding of him.…

    It was another moment of transition for Job in his constantly dynamic thinking, only to be interrupted by Bildad who failed even more miserably than before to make a meaningful contribution. Job pounced on Bildad’s brief allusion to God’s peace-making presence in the heavens (25:2). After a sarcastic jab about how helpful Bildad’s counsel was, Job unleashed a vibrant description of what God actually does in those heavenly realms. Some of his discourse described the visible heavenly realms – the sky – but he ventured much farther. “The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them” (26:5).…
