    What is your understanding of the book of Job

    Seems Job would be the proverbial wise man who does all the right things and by proverbial wisdom should be blessed, right? But more was going on than he understood and proverbial wisdom is looked on by many as not a 100% guarantee rather a guideline. Job: Journey from Moral Man to Wise...

    What?

    So I read a bit of Esther today for inspiration and at the end of chapter 2 is this (bolding mine): “When the affair was investigated and found to be so, the men were both hanged on the gallows. And it was recorded in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.” ‭‭Esther‬ ‭2:23‬...

    If "God is love", what about God's more violent actions?
