Considering that, according to them… he made everything and everyone cuz he was bored and lonely. (Yup. We’re a mid-life crisis puppy.)
Now, remember that he’s all knowing and omnipotent and like, exists outside of time. Such a being would therefore have known they’d eat the damn fruit. More importantly, any being with more awareness than a turnip would have seen that one coming, even if they didn’t see it literally coming. You know what I mean.
So this means it was all part of the plan. Which means the plan was, for this supposedly all-powerful, all-knowing being to come down here and LARP the white knight.
Oh... Incel tendencies. That never clicked. They must see themselves as the posterchild for pre-creation god.
total Nice Guy™️ vibes. The entire book of Job is... what...? ruining some guys life over a bet... only then to say, "wtf do you know? you don't know me, can't understand me. who the fuck are you?"
I've read this 4 times now. Sorry, I have zero idea what you're trying to say here.
the 2 speeches by god at the end of the book of job, god is basically saying "you can't possibly understand" - like a total Nice Guy abuser. This, after allowing satan to destroy the man's life (to the point of killing off a very successful business, killing off his very large family, and very nearly killing him off, too.) ostensibly because there was a bet about whether or not Job would still worship/respect/follow god if he still had all the good things in his life.
Ahh gotcha, thanks! Most of my bible training is pre-third grade :) Manager to get out of there quick
