It's all distorted when it passes thru you.
Why are you permitted to call God a TRICKSTER?
If I refer to you this way, immediately I am censored, but you regularly get away with it with impunity.
The story of Job reveals God's love and care for us, using trials to perfect our faith, exposing our pride and self-righteousness, providing us with a heavenly scene to expose the source of all evil, yet pointing to the coming Redeemer. Occurring in time after Abraham but before Moses, Job's story has become a source of learning and encouragement for all God's people, both Jew and Gentile, for all generations.
