God initiated the situation with Satan, full knowing that Satan would ask for permission to do the deeds against Job. You don't seem to understand that God knows the outcomes of all things and that even the things He seems to allow are things that resulted from a sequence of events that only God could control. Everything is under His control.
I know I have plenty to learn but you are relying on human knowledge.
What you refuse to comprehend is that Satan asking permission requires God to give permission, that is quite straightforward. (That God is fully aware of the outcome does not negate his permission. You seem to think that there is an either/or involved and no one is suggesting such.) You don't seem to understand that I am well aware that God's foreknowledge is not limited or finite...and he doesn't "seems to allow", he does allow. If you read through the posts where do I even hint that God is not in control? (You can't) Scripture offers many verses and narratives where God has allowed certain actions, and of course he knows the outcome would in no way frustrate his perfect will...Genesis 50:20 sums it all well, thus he allowed his brothers to intend and act to harm but God's allowance worked it out for good.
Psalm 81:11-12 "I gave them over...."
Ezekiel 20:25 "...gave them over..."
Romans 1:24 "...gave them over..."
Romans 1:28 "...gave them over..."
