Why did it take Job so long to inquire of God about the circumstance instead of a commentary of his friend's theology? Right when the enemy (which Job could not see, but was unaware of) struck him, Job began listending to man's reasoning. I believe it took him ten or more chapters before he inquired of God about it. All the opinions and bad reports of family and friends moved JOb. JOb was moved by other's word, not God's word. And of course Job remained in this state until he inquired of God. What do you think? Looking at Job, why do you think it is so important to listen to God's voice instead of others especially when circumstance are bad? Why did Job inquire of man instead of God? Do you think this had to do with his suffering--his lack of prayer and his heeding of man's reason? Do you think that Job listened to much of what his friends thought instead of what God said.

If God allows evil and therefore be His overall Will, would this not suggest God be the author of evil? Wouldn't this also suggest God being divided against Himself of which cannot stand? God's will being evil suggests God to be double minded and somewhat bipolar. This is why it is so important to maintain proper and personal study of the Scripture oneself. Only listening to man's interpretation can cause much havoc and wrong beliefs. Of course this is a tactic of the enemy--for mankind to be oblivious to his existance and the grace of God. Satan does not want to be exposed. So by deception, he suggest man to reason God being the author of chaos, peace, confusion, evil and love all at the same time. And of course, if people believe this, they live a lie. But the truth will prevail regardless of man's philosophy and reason of circumstances. Only those who are in tune with the Spirit of God will understand spiritual things...love, peace and the goodness of God that "wants everyone to be saved and to know the truth."--to know the truth about good and evil, the real enemy and the God of love. Again, excellent blog. If only more people can hear this truth and understand it. Great blog. If God allows evil and therefore be His overall Will, would this not suggest God be the author of evil?
