The Book Of Job Chapters 1-10
A wealthy man with a healthy family and a good life, his name, Job, his mission, suffer.
I begin this entry with the a question form the QUESTions:
Why is life unfair?
A man that abstains from evil, but feared God. "and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil".(Job 1:1) Even though he had everything, he kept making offerings to God, in case his sons felt evil, and to forgive his sins. I don't blame Job, who isn't scared of God. He is so delicate and sensitive, that in any moment he may kill us all in a blink of an eye. You don't agree on what he says, and he will send you famine and hell on you. Each time I think God is like a lady, furious. Furious if they don't pay attention to him/her, jealous if others prefer another God, and evil since they make life miserable.
Until now, God hasn't been a really good guy.
Job, trying to be a good citizen,as everyone. He gets to be evaluated by God, since there must have been something wrong with him. As God is like a woman, he has to see if Job is truthful or not since a woman hates being lied to. "And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?".(Job 1:9)" Suddenly, our great companion Satan, evil and all, rats Job away. He controls God's thoughts saying: "Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land".(Job 1:10)
I still cant believe God left Job at the mercy of Satan. A good man, a man with no intentions of evil at all, with all the sufferings of the world. "And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD".(Job 1:12) All of his sons died, his house fell, and there lay he naked in the ground as the day he was bared, trying to prove his faith to God.

How could God take part of this? How dare him command this? Job, with his faith up high, and then crushed by the same God.
