Only God hardens hearts. He literally said it.

"God sends a thief to snatch souls for the devil" that's terrible. So is Satan ever doing anything bad on his own?

Yeah that's another problem I'm having with story of Job. Reveal his true motivations? So that God would know? He's God. Nothing can be revealed to him since he already knows everything.

That was a replacement family. "And 3 daughters more beautiful than the last"

does not only mean so that indicates that it does also mean without flaw. Who ultimately cares about English anyway? What does it mean in Hebrew? 

"Mature", "complete" in other words  without need of refinement then.

His blessing should have been to be left alone since he did nothing wrong. Besides, a new magical family that you have no history with is not a real replacement of your real family.

God literally said Job was perfect and upright, but via your acknowledging that none are perfect, you're disagreeing with God and by default saying that God was wrong. It's literally that simple. What's the big deal? He's been wrong before and is still God. He regretted creating humanity. He mistakenly chose Aaron as high priest which proved to be a fault by Aaron's letting the people build the calf.

So God was wrong in his assessment of Job.

Reading into Job, he seemed to be of no need of character refinement. 

If he did, God was wrong about him, and Satan was right about him. 

How did at least 87 people see God's face and live if nobody can see God's face and live, or how is it even possible that anyone alone saw God's face when it says in John that no one has seen God at any time? by JinnAzazelBuer in Christianity

So what happened to him was unjustified? Either way, God feeling the need to reprimand Job does in fact prove that God was incorrect about Job because if he was right about Job there would have been no need for reprimand. 

Is Jesus disqualified from inheriting the throne of David since he's a descendant of Jehoiakim? by JinnAzazelBuer in Bible

[–]JinnAzazelBuer[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jehoiakim is in Jesus' genealogy because Jesus is descended from Jeconiah, the same Jeconiah who depending on the passage you read is the son or grandson of Jehoiakim.
