Brinny, everyone dies because of sin. We all have been handed over to death by God.
Any questions? Please see the Boss when you get there.

Define 'out to get'
Uh, yeah. And good to see you kid! How ya been?
You might have some personal familiarity with this topic matter I presume?
Scars never go away do they? It always hurts.
Would you care to elaborate?
Thank you kindly.
Out to "get" meaning to do whatever it took to cause Job to curse God and die.
Was Satan out to "get" Job or was God?

Both applied severe evil pressure on Job, undoubtedly.
God could certainly have not directed Satan to do so or could have easily stopped any of that from happening. So that is kind of the point of observation of fact.
God can stop all evil in the next instant IF He wanted to, so do the math.
Both Satan and God were both co-conspirators to do whatever it took to cause Job to curse God and die?
Thank you kindly.

Job certainly wasn't going to avoid dying if that's what you are asking.
And yes, it is quite horrific when GOD, yes GOD, brings evil.
That is probably as good of a basis as any for the formation of genuine Godly FEAR.
Is God evil?
Thank you kindly.

Repeated once more that God can create and use anything inclusive of any power (power of evil, power of death)
...and not be that thing used or created.
To believe that God is evil by creating and/or using evil, (a power or a thing) is a form of pantheism.
Who spoke with God in the beginning of the book of Job, accusing Job of loving God only because God blessed Job?
Thank you kindly.
I had avoided the book of Job for the longest time. Since delving into it, it has been an on-going Bible study for me.....
I had avoided the book of Job for the longest time. Since delving into it, it has been an on-going Bible study for me.....especially how joy is associated with the "fear of the Lord" and man's definition of this "fear" vs God's definition, and what this verse means:
"the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love." ~Psalm 147:11
and this one (amongst others)
"The fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain." ~Proverbs 14:27
Thank you kindly.
