Q: Why would God allow Satan to torture and torment Job when he knew Job was a wonderful man and if God is, indeed, ...

I suspect that this is more evidence that Job is one of the Bible’s earliest stories. As I’ve written, the Bible makes a gentle arc from polytheism to monotheism.

I will love God for nothing. Job’s righteous surrender to uncontrollable disasters that destroyed his life illustrates that our love for God must be unconditional.
