Friend , you do not seem to understand the concept of ' Eternal Life ' and how it is achieved. What truly called persons have to go through in this life do not compare with the rewards of immortallity.And what of the family that Job lost? Is a human life so expendable that you can say, "It's OK, he got another one."? Whether he became rich or not, there's no telling what kind of mental scars were left on Job after going through what he did. How can you be so sure that Job enjoyed his new life after the trauma of how he lost his old one? I just can't see any kind of loving or generosity in God after reading this story.
Perhaps i could explain on a material level. If man wants to produce something with endurable qualities we have to pass it through test after test to see how any improvements stand up to wear and tear. This is common practice in manufacture of items prone to great stress-factors.
Would you rather see God cast imperfect man into the waste bin instead of improving us ? Compared to God we know nothing yet and if we are to grow into HIS likeness we have to learn - very often the hard way , how else will it make an impact on us that lasts ?
Certain things God can produce in an instant - other things take hard work which just happens to be man. Our resistance to God makes his work more difficult. :yes:
