The Bible Project Great video you guys I love them all keep up the good work I know that GOD has filled ya'll with the Holy Spirit one thing thing tho read Job 40:15-24 again and I'm pretty sure Behemoth is a Brachiosaurus. It's got the most fitting description tho I might be wrong only GOD knows. Be blessed you guys.
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
You have no idea at what level this series has touched my walk. I have been dealing with stage 4 cancer and this has brought peace to my soul. Thank you.
It is well with you beloved in Christ and may His peace and joy be yours by His Spirit Who dwells in you. Be encouraged to keep your eyes fixed on our Good Lord. You may not necessarily know the ‘why’ behind this disease you have been diagnosed with, but the Lord our God does, and like Job be encouraged to trust in Him and in His will, and may His good and perfect will be done in you and through you. KNOW that, come what may, all we who have believed look ahead with hope to be united together to welcome Him when we meet Him in the air on His glorious return🙌🏾
So back in July 2019 I was a mess. Drinking, crying, just upset at God for taking both my parents by the time I was just 29 y/o. I was so sad & lonely. That night I prayed, I asked God, “what should I read in the Bible?” (A friend suggested I ask Him this). Kid you not...as I’m sleeping, I heard a voice-very calm, slow & just soothing whisper in my ear, “Job”. Never heard of Job before this. Never knew anything about Job. I woke up & remembered hearing “Job” & let me tell you...it restored my trust & faith in Jesus like 1000! Ok! Been on fire for Him ever since & it’s been the best times of my life living for Him! Blessings to everyone!
Johnny Yuma thank you but that’s unfortunate to hear (your anger/worsen feelings). Prayers out to you, Johnny that God removes those feelings & replaces it with The Fruit Of The Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
Johnny Yuma I’ve been there! When my parents died, I hated God. I was upset, depressed, confused, worried I mean just a bunch of negative feelings. I’m sure it was meant to feel that way too. But then...instead of hating Him, I talked to Him. I vented to Him & overtime I got all the answers I needed. Try it. He is the only one who turns pain in to peace, hate in to love & sorrow in to joy. Trust me, Johnny. Just try it.
This puts everything into perspective. I almost died last July as my kidneys failed me. It's been a sruggle every day but i still praise God for all he provides. I will do so even until the last day of my life here.
John. God bless you. He loves you. You are going to get through it. God will never leave you. He is with you. He will help you fight. You are here for a reason and purpose. I will pray hard for you.
I am now homeless, spent 16 years in prison, lived a life of sex, drugs , and rock n roll, and at 50 years old i realized, with great pain, how weong and arrogant my thinking had been about God, so i jave repented, sworn to love and obey Jesus and trust God in all situations. Its been about a week now, and so many amazing things jave already happened. I found a great church, i was able to reconcile with my brother, and i jad an experience of Gods glory,.likely just the timiest fraction. I asked why i must praise Him and give all glory and hinor to Him. Truly, while praying, i saw the universe, jesus suffering on the cross for my, and others, sins, and how terribly and wholly corrupt my nature is and how all that is good came drom God. Then, i felt His presence, not in a nice comfy way, but in a totally AWEsome way that revealed His goodness while also revealing my sin nature. It was a terrible and wonderful experience. I dont know how things will go, but i know bu loving and obeying Jesus and His Word, whatever happens will be azing and for the good of Gods plan. Jesus is real! I love you, Lord! God bless you all🙏😊❤️
that's why I don't judge the church to destruction, given despite it's complete corruption it picks up sinners simply because its hipocrisy requires it to act as a church of God despite in reality acting to enslave the population for the government, which is why the government adopted the church (and [Nazi] psychiatry) in the first place. For some people false truths and false hope is useful when there's nothing else. Sex, drugs , and rock n roll is also adopted by the government to rule. Panem et circenses. But back to the point, that was the role of egyptian priesthood thousands of years ago, and Moses was raised by it... government, enslavement, which is ironic since God was always mad about disobedience to him, and thus meant disobedience to any other master. God is gealous it is written
Amen! Thank God, you've been saved🎉 remember to always have faith, for your love with God can not be broken by anyone or anything else, but you❤🙏🙏 God bless you on your journey, new brother/sister in Christ!
for each of you clowns claiming praying solved your problem, a thousand others die who prayed as well. oops my bad. i forgot: they prayed wrong and are not real christians. yep, my bad. you got me. 🤡🤡🤡
The book of job is the book that always sticks out to me from the Bible. I was born prematurely, doctors told my mom I wouldn’t live long I’m 35 years old now. As a little kid, I was diagnosed with asthma, and pre-diabetes both gone now. When I was in high school, I had really bad anxiety to the point where I didn’t wanna leave my room had to take medication for it. Thank God I don’t have crushing anxiety anymore. When I turn 21 I was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes three years later after praying to Jesus to be healed. I don’t have glaucoma anymore. I reach 30 I was diagnosed with diabetes. Pray to God, I ate well and I exercised, and I don’t have diabetes anymore thank God. Throughout it, all, I have learned to love the Lord with my entire being. Because no matter what I go through it’s his presence in my life that brings me peace.
Thank you for this humbling and inspiring testimony. I might only add that one might call the letter of James New Testament book of wisdom. Read all over chapter 1 because I think it sheds some much needed light on how to interpret the book of Job.
I thought i was suffering until i came into the comments and realized how great people have faith in God despise their difficult situations, i'm really humbled by this. All glory be to Jesus now and forever
Me too, I came here because I felt lonelier than I ever been and I don’t have any good friends, but then I realized people have bigger problems than friends they have lost family members, they’re homeless, etc. it really humbled me and made me feel blessed to live peacefully
People have faith because they suffer. They suffer under a ruthless globalized capitalist system, and because of that we need comfort in our day to day struggles. I know this because I've read Marx, and the rich ruling classes(who also own and influence organized religion) don't want you to understand Marx, religion is very useful to them. I'm not saying God isn't real, I'm saying that the powerful forces at work exist because of the system, the humble hard working masses, unbeknown to them, generously give their power to the capitalist class when all workers don't fight for decent standards of living.
I hope to be like Job in the sense that I never lose my faith in God. When my mother died I was 16. I used to pray every single day for her. When she died unexpectedly, I lost my faith afterwards. Now at 21, I've regained it stronger than ever before. I'd never even opened a bible before, and now I've been exploring the word of the Lord more and more each day. I can truthfully say that my faith did waiver, and for that I will always be sorry to the Lord. But He will never lose me again, at least I hope not. I hope I am strong enough to persevere through life's struggles and always stay humble and kind. Please dear Lord, give all of your loyal children the strength to persevere through life's miseries, and to praise your name when things are bad AND when things are good.
"Job is now the kind of person who no matter what comes, good or bad, he can trust in God's wisdom." As a Christian, this is really challenging but nothing is impossible when we trust God.
@@junfour you’re half right. it was the accuser’s idea. but God allowed it. so yes i trust God’s wisdom. satan does nothing God does not allow. if you believe in the God of the bible, you know and accept He is ultimately in control. He has the final word, always.
I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me....
I was just praying for your countries. That they woud see the face of Yeshua and feel THE LOVE that only He can give. Amazing! Prayers are answered every day! ❤️🛐❤️🛐❤️✝️
I love this, because it also paints a picture that God wants you to talk to Him whether you're happy or sad. He wants a relationship with you and is very forgiving and logical.
Dear recipient, I invite you to read this message because it is very, very important. We kindly request that you take a few moments of your time to read this letter because it is possible that this letter will open up a new dimension of your role a human being in this universe. We hope that you are a free, broad-minded person free from prejudice whose goal is to find the truth. Before we continue, let us declare to you the purpose of this letter - that it is an introduction and invitation to the lifestyle known as Islam. SOME FACTS Islam has approximately 1 billion followers known as Muslims who follow the final revelation to mankind, known as the "Qur'an", revealed to Prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago. Contrary to the common misconception, only about 20% of all Muslims are Arabs, the rest are Indians, Indonesians, Bosnians,Africans,Chinese,turkish and so on . WHAT IS ISLAM Islam, unlike most other religions, is not named after any man. Instead Islam means the submission of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim". The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Islam is the religion that was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind like Jesus and Moses . THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM The most important message of Islam is the absolute Unity of God-that there is only One Supreme Being who has no partners and is not dependent on anyone or anything. He is the creator of everything and the whole universe is under His control. Since the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. In essence, Islam calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. Allah is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. Hence prayers to the non-living such as the sun, fire, and to humans whether they be Jesus, Moses or even Muhammad are rejected, as Allah informs us in the opening chapter of the Qur'an, known as Soorah Al-Faatihah, verse 4: "You alone do we worship and from you alone do we seek help." A Muslim believes that Allah and His creation are distinctly different entities. Neither is Allah His creation or a part of it, nor is His creation Him or a part of Him. Ultimately, it is the belief that the essence of Allah is everywhere in His creation or that His divine being is or was present in some aspects of His creation, which has provided justification for the worship of creation. Islam, hence, is a clear call to the worship of the Creator and the rejection of creation-worship in any form. THE MIRACLE OF QUR'AN "And if you are in doubt as to what We [Allah] have revealed…then produce a Soorah (chapter) like thereunto"(Soorah Baqarah 2:23) This was the challenge put forth by Allah in the Qur'an 1400 years ago. As of yet, none has or will ever come close to meeting this challenge. Hence, as a result, multitudes throughout the centuries have believed and continue to believe in the Qur'an as a revelation beyond any human capacity. Modern scientists, for instance, have been amazed by the accuracy of scientific information presented in the Qur'an. Here are just a few examples: In his book of embryology-'The Developing Human' [W.B. Saunders Publishing, 1982], Dr. Keith Moore added a whole chapter to discuss the scientific accuracy of the Quranic discussion of this science. Another eminent scientist, Dr. Maurice Bucaille wrote in his book-'The Bible, the Qur'an and Science': "I could not find a single error in the Qur'an…if a man was the author of the Qur'an how could he have written facts in the 7th century A.D. that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific knowledge" Facts about astronomy, the animal world and other natural phenomenon, that were alien to modern science not long ago, are scattered among the messages of Allah's Unity and His Attributes throughout the miracle that is known as al-Qur'an . WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to Allah. How can one determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the various religions, and identify the central object of worship to which they call, directly or indirectly. False religions all have in common one basic concept concerning Allah: they either claim that all human beings are gods or that specific individuals were Allah or that nature is Allah or that Allah is a figment of man's imagination. For example, Prophet Jesus invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim to be his followers today call people to worship Jesus, claiming that he was Allah while Jesus himself would deny this as Allah says in the Qur'an: "And behold Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary Did you say to men, Worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah; He [Jesus] will say-"Glory to You I could never say what I had no right (to say')" (Soorah Al-Maa'idah- 5:116) Even though false religions might teach some good things, they all, however, teach the greatest evil- the worship of creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts the very purpose of his creation, which is the worship of Allah as explained in the following verses: "Verily Allah will not forgive the joining of partners with Him, but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whom so ever He wishes" (Soorah An- Nisaa 4:48 and 116) "I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me" (Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56) Why do I have to be muslim ? Since the consequences of false religion are so grave, the true religion of Allah must be universally understandable and attainable, not confined to any people, place or time. Within the central principle of Islam and in its definition, lies the roots of lslam's universality. Whenever man comes to the realization that Allah is one and distinct from His creation, and submits himself to Allah, he becomes a Muslim and is eligible for paradise. This is the essence and the corner-stone of Islam: "Laa Elaaha lllallaah" (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah) Its repetition and the sincere belief in it automatically brings one within the fold of Islam and guarantees one Paradise. Thus, the final prophet of Islam is reported to have said, "Any one who says: there is no god but Allah and dies holding that (belief) will enter paradise."

@@Charlie94781 "when the deity knows the future?" you mean when He knew that Job's future will be restored and that he will get way more than he's ever had before, and will be happier than ever? you have a limited perspective, we all do, but God could see way ahead and outward. that's the whole point
Job suffered for us. It wasn't random, God in his infinite wisdom knew Job's story would make it into the bible, knew Christian's for generations would read it and learn from it, analyze it, gain comfort or understanding or peace from it. We are the "why" to Job's story. Like mentioned, God can see everything and details we can't even begin to comprehend, including the details of the future.
Job didnt deserve any of it and neither did I. An all knowing god did this knowing the outcome. That's immature of god to do so. The middle of my job story was 13 years ago. And 13 years later he hates me even more. All because I didnt answer his call to become a priest. God hates me and wont allow my plan, happiness or anything that I work for. That my friends is hate, NOT love!!!
@@johnnyyuma9802 There are a few fundamental assumptions here that I would like to challenge. 1) Why do you not deserve punishment? If you are a child of God, you are no longer a child of wrath, true. But we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We, everybody deserves wrath, not grace, but God does give us grace. The rain falls upon the just and the unjust. 2) Why do you assume that God hates you because you were not given the role of a priest. To be clear, I do not know what denomination or beliefs you hold to whether that be Roman Catholicism or Protestantism. God may have a better plan for you, or He might have a different time for you to become one. I would not say God is hating you because things did not go as you intended. Search the Scriptures to see the truth of God, and maybe He will guide you to a peace and deeper realization of His sovereignty and grace. Peace be with you Johnny.
Sorry, I will correct my statement. Just because you chose not to do what you believe He may have called you to do, doesn't mean He hates you. There are other ways to serve as well, but for some things, you may have to step away from something you currently have. Jesus does tell us that we must hate father, mother, sister and brother to be true disciples of Him. I'll clear up the statement though, since some interpret it incorrectly. We must still love our family, but we must love God the most. God is first and foremost, everything else comes after. So maybe you should consider ways in which God might be calling you to the ministry, or even the Great Commission.
@@takodapeters8221 he called me at 17 during a retreat. I refused. And ever since he has made my life miserable.. I refuse gods plan or time because I know what is best for me. A god that doesn't allow me to reach MY plan for life is a hateful one. And nothing else. He had me all my life until March. Then I said I'm all set with that so called love of his. What kind of love leaves a good person to be slaughtered by bullies, skanks and jobs? Sounds like a dick to me.
@@takodapeters8221 I'm going to say it again.... I don't want it, dont want to be used as an inspiration and dont want "his time". His time is shit. I'm too old to enjoy what a young man would. Too old for any of my plans because god decided to smite me for breathing
I had breast cancer at 47 years old, caught early, but I'm cancer free, my diet is better and I now see a functional doctor, but I still pay for important visits and expensive blood tests work but there's not a problem to me lol because I make $14k every week in the financial market thanks to my son and his financial coach
He needed to understand. We all do. He came to understand by understanding that God's wisdom is beyond his understanding. He could do this because his live for God was unmovable, deep, part of him.
He needed to understand. We all do. He came to understand by understanding that God's wisdom is beyond his understanding. He refuted the "friends" explanations as Jesus refuted legal explanations that did not come out of an awareness and relationship with God. Both Job and Jesus had that relationship. They both could do this because their love for God was unmovable, deep, part of them. In a way I see Job as a prophetic figure of Jesus.
God did not restore his first children. Because they were dead. God gave Job three new daughters and seven new sons. Neither did he restore his wife. She was dead. So those children came from another mother. Surely God gave him those human beings in his life to love, to look after them, and not as posesions.... Frankly it makes for a hard reading, considering I am a woman and a mother... ...if God had done that to me... how could he "replace" my children?? no child can replace another... It would interesting if Job had written what all this new children and possessions ment to him. Maybe he had known all the way that they were only there to praise God.
I lost my 29 year old son just 2 weeks ago. I'm struggling. I keep asking God "why?!" And "why now?" My son had 2 young daughters. My son was just beginning to really become mature, becoming a good dad to BOTH his girls, and he and I had the past year of getting to a great mom/son bond that had eluded us for several years. Why God WHY? I hope and I pray that my son had received Jesus in his last unconscious moments before eternity. Satan is tormenting me with thoughts and yet I feel the Holy Spirit saying "trust me" in this deep darkness of my life.
Trust me when I tell you this... God DOES NOT give you a spirit of fear or worry. Those horrible thoughts are from Satan. Please remember that Satan knows he is doomed and will never win. Therefore, he hates and despises what God loves, which is you and your son. It's why Satan torments you with these thoughts. Satan knows he can do nothing to God, so he (Satan) works constantly to hurt the things that God loves most...which is you. Father in Heaven, please give this good man and good father your peace that surpasses all understanding. Give him strength, courage and wisdom to face each day knowing that you are in complete control, and that this good father will one day see his good son again with you in eternity and where no harm will ever come to either of them again. This I pray in Jesus name, Amen.
DO NOT allow those thoughts!!! That is 100% Satan! God does not put thoughts like that in us. God says in the Bible "Fear not" 365 times, and I promise you that He is not putting those thoughts in your head or heart. So, I pray that God heals your heart and fills you with peace during this time. I pray that you will come to know that your son is with Jesus at this moment and that you two will see your son again. God bless you and your family.
Have you ever thought of making a movie? There aren't a ton of good Christian movies out there and with your beautiful animation skills I think you guys could make a great one.
i’m 22 years old rn i got fired from 2 jobs this year lost my new truck in a car accident causing it to flip over so now i’m borrowing my parents truck lost all my friends because i didn’t want to drink or smoke anymore and i’ve been sober from that since i was 21, im at the lowest point in my life rn but i know i keep my faith with god strong and 1 year from now i’ll be in a completely different scenario thanks to him 🙏
"lost all my friends because i didn’t want to drink or smoke anymore" brother those weren't your friends. you can only go up when you are at the Lows. keep a keen eye and stay faithful.
I just lost my van yesterday when it decided to seize the engine on the Highway. I'm fine, it was just comically bad timing I was on the way to a job i drove an hour and a half to get to. The engine seized not even 5 minutes from it. All I had to do was pick up some light items. i was depending on that job I have $10 to my name. Currently not sure what to do all of my money is self generated and requires my car. i'm likely going to go knock doors in my neighborhood bcus I have a bit of a sales background. I have a family member I'm hoping can borrow a car from but I'm not sure how itll go. Regardless, God is in control. Atleast I had some food in the fridge have a pot roast going but uhhh.. yeah lol. Rough times man pray for me.
I'm 24 and my mom has just been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer and there's a very real chance that I'm going to lose her. this has really made me start to think about my relationship with God and how I need to strengthen it and trust in Him no matter what. it feels very unfair to my whole family that my mom might have to go so soon, but I know that this is all part of God's plan for us and that we need to stay trusting in His infinite wisdom. to any of you reading this, please keep her in your prayers. Update: she passed away yesterday. thank you to everyone who prayed for us, she went without pain and surrounded by her family.
@@denzellucas609 8 months later and it's all good news! She has responded well to the chemo and had her tumor removed about a month ago. She starts her radiation therapy and a different type of chemo tomorrow and within a few months she should be cancer free!

@@austinpoznoski3083 Hallelujah we thank the Lord! By His stripes she’s healed!! So glad to hear she’s responding well to treatment. Wishing you and the family the best ❤️🙏🏾
@@rclark777 thank you very much, it means a lot. she has finished her radiation therapy and a CT scan she had a few months ago shows no signs of cancer! theyre going to do another 3 month round of chemo just to be extra safe but it seems like she might have beat this thing!!
I thank God for the transformation He has done in me. Back then, when I heard about Job's story it was truly hard to take in. I questioned God a lot, "why would He let this happen?" My second time hearing it, I still really can't comprehend the entirety of it. But I am resting assured and at peace. The thing is, we don't always have to understand. God and His ways are not always in the scope of our understanding. So when time arises when we really don't understand, we just have to trust His heart. I am so blessed to have this change of mindset, thank You so much Lord.
I always saw the end as Job passing the test and getting rewarded. This has really opened my eyes to show that that isn't the point and that we should praise God no matter what, good or bad. It helps me to remember not to take anything for granted. Thank you!
I am a covid survivor 31 days in a coma 17 (17 days, mind you on a ventilator) God took away deaths sting and the Graves victory. I had so many dreams where I was relying on or interacting with man and my faith. After my recovery and no damage to my body or brain. I do have some neuropathy in my feet which I control with gabapentin. I belive God has created in me a repented heart. I am aware of his presents more than before and want to execute Jeremiah 33 :3 love him more than before to me me a repenti heart and
So god killed his family Just to test one person? And for those that said no Satan did, well god AGREED for it to happen, so in fact HE DID, and if he's a all knowing god then he would've know Satan would of rebelled, he created him just to be punished in hell, that sounds unfair just like with job, o wonder why he rebelled, god is the real devil, and the greatest lie that the devil did was to make us believe he's god😂

Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts the very purpose of his creation, which is the worship of Allah as explained in the following verses: "Verily Allah will not forgive the joining of partners with Him, but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whom so ever He wishes" (Soorah An- Nisaa 4:48 and 116) "I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me" (Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56) Why do I have to be muslim ? Since the consequences of false religion are so grave, the true religion of Allah must be universally understandable and attainable, not confined to any people, place or time. Within the central principle of Islam and in its definition, lies the roots of lslam's universality. Whenever man comes to the realization that Allah is one and distinct from His creation, and submits himself to Allah, he becomes a Muslim and is eligible for paradise. This is the essence and the corner-stone of Islam: "Laa Elaaha lllallaah" (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah) Its repetition and the sincere belief in it automatically brings one within the fold of Islam and guarantees one Paradise. Thus, the final prophet of Islam is reported to have said, "Any one who says: there is no god but Allah and dies holding that (belief) will enter paradise."

@@georgehernandez7732But if you look at The Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, you can read that if be believe in Jesus, that He died for our sins, resurrected the third day defeating death that through Jesus Christ we can have eternal life. We can be reunited with loved ones, but we gotta believe in our hearts that Jesus died for our sins and resurrected, confess this with our mouths and repent of our sins. The Bible says God wants us to have a hope and a future. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He sent His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
My entire life feels like it's been like Jobs worst point. I still love God and will serve him, but I've come to terms with the idea of never being truly happy.
@@taqtikal1941 I don't put my hope on that. I know my pain has a purpose. It's for God's purpose and God's purpose is for the ultimate good. So even if I suffer eternally I'll do it willingly and not blame or accuse God of anything. Just thanking him for being there and doing what is necessary for his ultimate good. If I didn't know God I would have killed myself which may have deprived someone else finding his truth through me. I'll still try to fight the suicidal urges for God's sake because suicide would go against God's purpose for me. I even see myself having this pain in heaven. Of course I'll be at peace with God's presence and satisfied by his grace but that's satisfaction keeps me going on and is sufficient for my existence. Happiness I won't have. Or well it's up to God but I'm not going to hope for it. That's putting personal expectations on God.
My children were murdered by there mother, I have struggled immensely ever since it happened. I love God but it was extremely difficult to accept or even comprehend what had happened (still can’t) It’s only my faith and knowing this story that some 14 years have passed and I’m still here praising the almighty. God is good all the time.💙
I am so sorry. That is truely horrifying. It is so sad that they won't be able to live there lives. But I am grateful to the lord for your strength of mind and heart during these evil an despicable actions that your partner committed. I hope that she will turn to christ for forgiveness and sanctification also. I prey that the peace of the lord will be upon you in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
*I'm overjoyed and grateful to see God's blessings and abundance manifest in my family's life. We're thriving and happy once again, and I can now provide for my loved ones even in retirement, thanks to a remarkable weekly income of $67,000. It's a game-changer after* *facing many challenges*.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
the book of job tells us god does whatever he wants and forces us to comply because 'we dont understand what he understands' and so we should just shut up and suffer. the bible is just a story kids. grow up.
@@bluesky8700 >(Job 1:1) - "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil." ah I just love this malevolent god that is named yahweh
I remember I was in a season of losing everything last year. Job, house, friends & family, nearly homeless. This pastor told me I reminded him of “Job” in the Bible. I thought of what he said today and start studying the Bible. I’m glad I seen this video it made me understand why he said that. No matter what happened I stayed close to God. Even though my disobedience got me into those situations but the storm ended like Job, God restored everything plus more. God didn’t do it to me but allowed it. I found identity, I found pain in that purpose. When it feel like I was losing on the outside I found myself within. If I never experienced that I wouldn’t had the urge to go feed the homeless on the weekends.
God makes a bet with the devil and fucks up jobs life big time. He then almost loses the bet and intervenes. Not wanting to let job know that the reason he killed his family was a bet, he told job that he is could not possibly understand any immoral action that god allows since job is not able to see the bigger picture. God convinces him by showing him cool shit. Then, because god felt bad for killing jobs children, he gave job double the shit he had before which totally replaced his previous family. The moral of the story is that god can do any shit he wants no matter how fucked up and we must accept it because he is god. Also, that the choice of the jobs previous children to not abandon god is completely worthless and they are just pawns just to prove that god was right. Y’all are a naive and ignorant cult hopelessly brainwashed shit.
@@exmateria1 the book of Job is about not passing any judgement, no judgment towards God or those around, irregardless of the circumstances. Our carnal mind will never comprehend everything God does as we can not think on Gods level but I know this that everything here is a test and that we should trust God no matter what.
@@Onlinepower1 I like how christians go on and on about how atheists cannot say they have objective moral values. Look at this story. It basically says that all evil is justified for a greater purpose. Think of the most evil event that has happened in all of history. Maybe it is the persecution of the jews by Hitler, maybe its slavery, maybe it's the imbalance of power, or abortion. Whatever it is that you are thinking about, the christian is compelled to say that this horrible tragedy is the best such as, "Abortion leads to the greatest possible good". This is because everything god allows, as shown from this story, is good. Not only good but the best. How can you possibly have any sense of morality if the most immoral thing you know necessitates gods plan?
Before I actually became a Christian, this was one of two books of the Bible that I had read to genuinely understand - because they were required readings in a (secular) course on the Bible at a completely secular university. The other required book was Genesis. And so, when I started seeking God, for purely selfish reasons, 10 years later, these two books Genesis and Job - weighed heavily on my understanding of the Gospels and Christian theology. I get the sense many people who fall away from Christianity - especially young seminarians, some of whom seem to enter their professional religious studies with well-intentioned, but ultimately self-defeating pollyannish beliefs about Christianity - may not have a strong grounding in just who God realistically is, and what his rights realistically are. But with Job and Genesis rolling around in my head the entire time I was a self-professed atheist then agnostic, I think I was fortuitously prepared to meet Jesus with realistic expectations . I think this was indeed God’s plan for me, the way he prepared my heart to accept the Gospel. I came to Christ at age 29, am 60 today, and hope to die within the faith.
interesting. I always thought that people shouldn't start with the old testament because many of them end up developing a negative view on God and never want to pray to Him. because they don't get to see His immense love for us in the new testament. I'm glad you were able to find Him through the other way. thanks for sharing a new perspective
Hi, James, Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I grew up in a Christian home, attended church every Sunday enthusiastically, and the thing that was most challenging to my faith was attending a liberal Christian college where religion courses typically looked for ways to stir up doubt rather than faith. I have a hard time understanding that to this day other than the observation that an overly intellectual approach to the Bible and our relationship with God is counterproductive. In the years following, through much prayer and additional study of God's Word, I now have a much stronger faith now than had my faith never been challenged. As Joseph said in the book of Genesis (chapter 50, verse 20), "What you (his brothers who sold him into slavery) intended for harm, God transformed into good and for the saving of many lives." In terms of understanding the book of Job, I might only add a verse from the letter of James, what I consider to be the Wisdom book of the New Testament: "So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession." (Chapter 1:16-18)
I found myself suffering serious anxiety earlier this year. I practically couldn’t recognise myself because of what anxiety was doing to me daily. I struggled, couldn’t sleep and had to use prescription for many months. Although I still struggle sometimes, as I have now come off medication by doctor’s advice, God has been helping me. We don’t have all the answers to why things happen to us the way they do. We can simply trust that God always has our best interest at heart. May God show His mercy to anyone who like I was is struggling with fear, anxiety and sleeplessness. Stay strong, we had God with us and we shall overcome in Jesus name.
how are you doing now? although this comment is added only a month ago and in 1-2 months things dont change that much still i am asking how are things now?
So I'm not the most religious human being in the world. I don't pray to anything, and I don't attend mass. However, ever since I was younger I was always intrigued in the stories within the Bible and the messages they held; I thought of it purely as a long, historical fiction and philosophical commentary on humanity through the eyes of multiple writers. But that made it all the more interesting to me. So far, I've only really been looking up specific stories but, now that I'm older, I'm tempted to actually read the bible page by page. It's thanks to your videos that I've actually gained the motivation to do this. The beautiful animation helps too. ; )
Monster Fruitloop the Bible changes people. I was very greedy and selfish. But now after I’ve read the scriptures thoroughly I always keep them with me it helps me be a better person. Like there is no greater honour than one put down his life for a friend.
I don't really know what to say to you Mark other than 'okay'. Your comment was sort of just this long sarcastic rant about information everyone is already aware of, but the issue I have is that it isn't completely accurate. There are multiple developments of God throughout the Bible, and the one you're primarily referring to is the one from the Old Testament. In the New Testament, God is, in fact, different and mimics more of the 'just, pure, and glorious' description you sarcastically mentioned. I mean, just look at Jesus; he has four completely different iterations based on the varied perspectives of the people who wrote about him. Four different stories, four different personalities, etc.
I had cancer in 2012. It came out of no where like a thief and a murderer. I was attending a small college and was doing well. I tried going on a medical leave but I could not keep up. I reluctantly left. I never ask God why this happed to me. Instead I trusted him to bring me through. I stood on and prayed his word on healing. I read Job and other scripture daily. I read Job from a retrospective. This was because God knows the end from the beginning and I believed all things were going to work for good in trial. It was this that brought me through. I was supposed to get surgery to have a goofball size tumor next to my superior vena cava removed, 8 rounds of ABVD chemo and radiation. I opted for and trusted God with surgery and chemo much to my oncologist protest. The Lord was merciful and healed me after only 6 rounds of chemo. Now I am being challenged by the housing oligarchs and may face becoming homeless because of no rent control. My rent skyrocketed and extra $500. I will fast and pray and continue to trust him. I am also a veteran, and disabled. My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Amen
Best wishes to you...you certainly have been through a lot and its very inspiring that you remain faithful. My story is nowhere near as hard as yours and there are days I do doubt in God's goodness...and feel deserted by him, so its very comendable you are staying strong in your faith and hope you get many blessings
This is my interpretation, Haven’t you notice that when we struggle, we can RELATE to one another. People show more empathy the most at the lowest point in people’s life. The more we accept God, life and all it’s challenges. The more we respect one another. You don’t know a person until you know they’re story.
I like your interpretation. I, myself believe that relating to each other is a choice, not regarded by how low we are, but our perspective of how equal we perceive each other. “At your highest point, no one is below you, at your lowest point, no one is above you”! Remember that and share it! Empathy and sympathy cannot be taught. It is inherently there or not. All man are equal. From the homeless, to the homeowners, and the extremely wealthy all the same. God is the only higher power. Not man! “No one above me but thee”!
I was literally suffering from the unemployment problem for the past 1.5 years, and I was so depressed that I thought I would not get a job ever, even after becoming an engineer. intresting thing is that i was surfing a few days ago about why I was not getting a job. I know that was dumb, but this video literally gave me all the answers I was looking for. Thank you, God, for giving me insight.
I really resonate with Job cuz despite all the suffering he still looked to God, personal story, I grew up in a very violent houshold and both parents were abusive. Sad thing is that I was never a troublemaker as a kid(Always quiet and still am). Looking back it was like as if Satan was using them to test me if I would keep searching for God but of course in the end it didn't stop me thanks to God. Whenever I went on walks alone especially in nature it felt like God was giving me that virtual tour and it was always peaceful. Moral of the story is to put your full trust and pray to God as I have always done and he will exalt you to a whole new level, he's done it with me and he'll do it with you🤗🕊.
What about those of us who get killed by the hand of these vile abusers. I view it as God standing by and watching suffering. Why is it, via this story we have been told, nirvana is always after suffering you didn't ask for in the first place. Isn't all of existence his "fault"? HOW did he allow this screw-up? Either way I'm done being "thankful". These abusers would beat their families and then literally go to church and "praise the Lord" on Sundays. Ahh Religon. I'm supposedly dealing with the fallout of a decision I didn't make. Since when do we punish everyone for the crimes of one? I sure as hell didn't eat any apple, but unless I accept this story I have no proof ever happened, I get to go to hell. Interesting. Let's see a Christian give an actual answer that makes sense to that without usual self confirming propaganda.
@@mememan2344 Sir you missed the point, one thing humans get wrong is that God is careless in managing the world (and on the side I never mentioned religion at all in this) the point was that you have to be able to trust God even in dier situations, when God gave Job that virtual tour he was showing how he is taking into account every detail on earth and he was basically telling Job 'why not you manage the entire planet for a day' and that's when Job got the hint because what people see and know about the world is not a quarter to God's understanding of his creation. Despite how enigmatic earth is we have to trust that God will pull us through and not worry constantly of what might happen.
@@johnekunode All of christian theology is constantly making excuses for the FACT that GOD allowed this all to happen. He's omnipotent, knows the future and the past. So he KNEW what would happen when he let a demon HE put in earth slither around and talk to his pure innocent creation- and supposedly that's somehow "my fault". B.S. What, was he asleep or something? A negligent parent letting their child drink poison or fall into the fire is more like it. The story is a bunch of witchcraft archaic self punishing b.s.- the whole Bible is a constant reinforment of "thanking God", for being merciful and just awesome in general when ALL of this is his fault. Job was supposedly Gods best servant, and God flippantly makes a bet with the very same demon who he KNOWS isn't gonna change his mind. God knows that whatever he allows Satan to do to Job, Satan is never gonna change his mind, so essentially, he allows Satan to kill Jobs entire family for no reason. But oh, it's ok, because he got a bunch of new crap and new family to replace the old, because JOB like US RIGHTEOUS CHRISTIANS is the main character, and therefore is actually important, in the same way christians worship jews. God created Jewish Jesus Christ perfect, and since God wasn't able to create ME perfect like he did the jews, I need to prostrate myself mentally to somebody who doesn't exist and I have never spoken to. These stories make ZERO sense. God needs to do better, because he (the jewish God you believe in) did not consult me before subjecting me to his screw-up, so he can f off. And I won't be guilted into believing such a God exists. He does not. I am a diest BTW, but all this "read this book to learn about God" is an obvious lie, because the jewish/islamic/Christian God's are all EVIL, and the texts are a bunch of evil psychotic babble. So God couldn't get it right the first time- so I'd better believe in him so that when he comes back the SECOND time, I'll experience the "new heaven and earth" 😆 nope. And I won't be scared into believing either- because all you recruiters are taught to use the same tactics, and it's confusing. Why doesn't you guys have another god contest like Moses did to prove the true God. Oh no that's right because if I don't just MAGICALLY believe this b.s. I'm told, I'm an unbelieving wicked generation looking for signs and wonders -.- How convenient. Yes, I could indeed run the earth better than the Jewish God, because I would have killed Satan right off the bat. Unless of course he isn't truly all powerful and couldn't do that for some reason. Idk.
I lost all my finances to a scam and i felt like my whole body was going to throw up at some point. But God gave me a strange sense of peace and spoke to my heart to learn about Job's story and while i was searching for it, i came across this video. Thank you Lord and bless this channel.
Not praying ill to your wrong doer but they sometimes gets served. Like my quack pyschiatrist whom put me through hell with a bipolar misdiagnosis. Now shes serving time in prison. I pray for our peace
@@cleangoblin2021 I almost got myself into a bipolar medication and even somewhere along the line any lazy medic would have diagnosed me with something worse. Luckily, I hesitated and was too afraid to become reliant on medication, so I kept postponing. The reason was to get myself enough time to meditate and then resolve the smallest eaiest habits that I caused to myself. Part of the habits was refusing to learn about myself and my mind. God helped me learn about CBT and notice every little tangent that was messing up my entire cognition. I then got the right diagnosis of unadvanced ADHD (treatable even without medication). It's wild to me that kids with mild (not severe) ADHD are all put on Ritalin or adderal. CBT and psychosocial improvement did it for me. At one time when my symptoms were fading, I decided to try half a pill orf Ritalin. The drug ws so powerful, I decided to never use it. Moral of the story: Trust God, always get a third doctor's opinion, go wth the least aggressive opinion, and focus on your thinking and socials. if you feel off, find every reason to get help or retreat and note down your thoughts. If you have a good prescription and a proven plan to wean offf it, be very very disciplined with it.
@Alfin Davood I did watch the video, and moreover I actually read it in the Bible. You have obviously not done the same. If you had the read the Bible (like I'm sure you're about to claim you have) you would know that god loves to torture and kill. He's the villain in the story. As a matter of fact, reading and comprehending the Bible is the fastest way to stop being a Christian. And intelligence and education is the fastest way to become an atheist.
I suffered a lot in my life and that lead me to became skeptical of God. I had erased every Christians channel on RUclips, but had forgotten to do so with this channel as well. Had not realized that because it never came anything to my feed. In the midst of me doing I sometimes I shouldn’t have, thinking God can’t exist when there is so much suffering so I can do whatever and it wouldn’t matter. This video came up. I thought I had erased every Christian channel, but maybe this is from God. So I watched. Did not understand this video at all and I thought it probably was just accident that this was on my feed. So I went through with the decision. I now realize it just was a destructive move. Regretting that move was what led me to God. The first thing that read was Job and it made perfect sense to my life. It was not accident it was God himself. I am a witness, God is good 🙏
PurrPurrPurrPurr I guess your an atheist, that your worldview is naturalism. Where there is no absolutes. No ultimate truth, no objective meaning and purpose, nor ultimate right or wrong and neither ultimate good or evil that surpasses a person opinion or preference. The world is hopeless and absurd. Why then are you hunting my position, when absolutely everything has no ultimate meaning?
Love the book of Job 🙌🏼 for me it brings the idea that God can be feared in a positive way. In a way where we fear and respect Him because of his greatness
this is a great book to read when you experienced trauma as a kid or you're going through something. like Job, I still dont understand why I've gone through the things that i did, but I'm grateful for it because im happier and closer to God than ever right now, I'm much stronger and wiser, thank You God, for everything.
You know, my biggest fear has always been something tragic happening like my parents dying or something and me never being able to cope with it. I pray that I have Job’s outlook that God’s will is always the best way, no matter what happens
Appreciate them everyday. Thank God for everyday spent with them. I lost my husband and mom a few years ago and coming from someone who experienced that. Although all those things happened I have the understanding that God gives and he takes. Through it all we have to have faith that everything is in God's plan so that we learn and appreciate.
@@blueyognog God is in control of life and death. Whatever you have came from Him. Yes, it is extremely painful to lose someone if He allows it but you have to trust that God is always in control of everything. We do not know everything but He does.
I am job in season in my life but I will embrace my difficulties with walk by faith and obedience to God’s commandments . All the days of my life I will serve his kingdom & Glory. 🙏 amen.
I came here depressed and in doubt of God's existence, pretty much a bad year for everyone in the world and here after hearing this, now I can see. I came here Depressed, now I Leave Happy and Contended. Thank You
I am going through tough times these past few days and through out, I just learn to trust His process. I may not understand it at the moment but I know this storm will pass. I clicked on this video not knowing its whole context but thank God this made me realized a lot of things.
I am living this, everything has been taken from me, this is hell. I didnt deserve this. Please lord make this right and provide redemption and give me justice for all thats been done in darkness and bring me back to life. Amen
Honestly, as an animator, When I am having a creative block I just come to this channel. The work the animators and illustrators do here is just amazing! I love your content. If I wasnt a Christian, I would still love the content on this channel
Job was self-righteous at the beginning, and humble by the end. That's a pretty powerful lesson right there. So much of our "humility" is self-serving and fake. Listening to people complain about God is a sure sign that they think they deserve something for their "faithfulness." But the only thing we deserve is hell. God's love for us means we don't get what we deserve. THAT is humbling to consider. And meant to challenge our self-righteousness by recognizing that God did for us through Jesus Christ something we can NEVER do for ourselves. He saved us from what we deserve. Trust God no matter what, people! Real humility is a trust that surrenders to God's Will... even though we don't fully know what it means or where it will take us. Be Blessed!
In the Bible books.. God's Said, Contain your thoughts and your emotion heart.. if you want remain Faithful to Jesus Christ.. *God's and Jesus is still Listening your emotions thought from your mind and your Head* *Test belief* in the Bible books..

@@johnbeaufort7121 This is wisdom literature, not history, so I would not derive theological conclusions from what is clearly not the main message the book tries to convey. Besides, the whole point is that in the end, creatures won't be able to understand the reasoning of the Creator.
@@johnbeaufort7121 You have deluded yourself into thinking you are smarter than God when you understand nothing. You made the choice to feed your ego instead. You chose to turn away from God instead of to Him.
themselves your comments are spot on. What kind of love is that? A god that does that is like the abusive jock boyfriend we see in afterschool specials.
How can a new wife and children compensate? They can't. And clearly the author of this book understood that. Compare the numbers at the beginning and end, the livestock. But then notice the children. The pattern breaks and it is not an accident. There's something important implied there. You don't have to believe it, but there is much intended by that final passage. There's also much to be gained by examining the names of the daughters and the unique position they received, being granted an inheritance, but that's another matter. John, your questions are valid and have been asked of this text for centuries. Sit with them.
I'm going through a breakup with my 8 year long companion, mostly because of my health issues, not being able to meet her needs, i lost my position at my job and been suffering more than i thought possible. i feel like im losing everything...

Praise the Lord, the All-Powerful. I enlarge your name. I give all the glory to Yahweh for my life. Lord, pardon both my confessed and unconfessed sins. Lord. I want less of me and more of you. I appreciate your protection. I sit in heavenly places and am the son of a powerful King, so I am truly blessed and highly favored. I adore you, Jesus. Lord, I hope that people who don't have a close relationship with you would become humble and seek your pardon while getting to know you. I bound the spirit of pride, Father. In the name of Jesus, I dispense love, compassion, patience, and humility. I’m delighted that I did because I followed my heart. I lost my husband two years ago due to the pandemic, and I was on the verge of giving up. However, I persisted in turning to God because I knew that he had led me this far for a reason.

I always feared to face what job faced... And it kinda happened to me ... With the feelings i had of unfairness and lost in this world for years i learned to pray and trust in god no matter what ... I actually found joy in it ... The only joy . Like its a new drug to pray and talk with god about everything and beeing thankful for everything through bad and good ... And after days i end up watching this video ❤❤❤ Im grateful
" Like its a new drug" I had this thought so many times. Instead of reaching out for that hit from this material world, you turn to the spiritual. How beautiful and sustaining is the Grace of God.
I struggle with the cruelty of the world and people but I realize people have freewill and God will not take someone's freewill. I'm currently learning to worship God no matter what but it's hard sometimes I'm thankful God uses imperfect people ❤
I AM JOB... systematically stripped of absolutely everything and everyone precious to me, through no fault of my own. Tortured, shattered, fearful, full of pain and despair- yet not once did I doubt my God's love for me and not once did He leave me. Thank you for this perspective of the book of Job, it reinforces my faith and reminds me of the bigger picture.❤
God is so complex but I still trust on His wisdom. I don't understand Him most of the time but I believe in Him. I relate a little with Job, asking and getting angry with God, I've done it before. I always pray on Him and I don't feel His presence. I got disappointed because I always talk to Him. I feel that He forget me, He still didn't answer my prayer 😅 I'm so lost and I don't know what to do in my life. Because of desperation, I read the Bible. I know that I should read the Bible but it's so hard to start reading it. I did try before but I keep on stopping and abandon the idea of reading it. But now, I regularly read the Bible. I feel the motivation to read it and I'm so happy that I did! I'm still lost at life but my worry slowly fade away. I'm very thankful that I read the Bible seriously. I feel mad at myself why I didn't do it before 😅 Hearing God's word heal my anxiety. I still don't get Him but I feel at peace now.
know that the Lord promises to be by your side forever; and even if you don't feel Him, He will never ever abandon you because He loves you. Read Jeremiah 29:11 ;isaiah 41:10 , Romans 8:18 and romans 8:28 , John 3:16 , 2 timothy 1:7 , 1 peter 5:7 , all my rfavorite bible verses hihihi
Thank you for this video. I had not been able to read Job since my husband was on his cancer journey--9 years, until he died 11/25/2021. I would just skip it in my Bible readings schedule. I couldn't handle it. But, here I am 16 months a widow and God has pushed me to read it. God knows I need to learn from this book. So, your video popped up and it's been a good encouragement. Blessings to you!
I always had this idea in mind that our family has been cursed, that my generational bloodline has done unforgivable practices or acts which angered God. Every time we encounter painful trials like consecutive loss of my siblings and other misfortunate events in our family. The Book of Job has been my hope that whatever happens, God is always there for us. He deserved to be praised in whatever season. By watching this, it reminds me that God's wisdom is unfathomable. Every thing works according to His will. Therefore, I just need to trust in His ways even though the pain is so unbearable.
When God said, "Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?" (Job 38: 2) I felt it was directly said to me. I forgot that this isn't about me, it's about God's sovereignty. indeed, The Lord is Good! and Wise! and Controls everything in His mighty Hands! We just have to obey him, repent, read His Word, Pray everyday. Just Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's declaration - Whether the Lord deliver us from death or not, He is worthy to be Praised!
@@johnnyyuma9802 u may not see it now, but God is doing what is he feels is right. We can only see our valey, but he sees the mountain that we will be standing on. U only know what is happening now, but God knows the future. U should listen to the song "one set of footprints in the sand" it talks about when you think that you were alone, it was actually God carrying you through your tribulations. No matter what, just remember that God is too wise to be mistaken, and God is too good to be unkind. When u don't understand and can't see his hand, trust his heart. (That one was also a song I want you to listen too)
Moral of the story: Isaiah 55:8-9 King James Version (KJV) 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
@@dezertfox3130 because it goes back to the second book, on how we will never coprehend god in this physical realm or even spiritual because he is the creator and we are his creations, he is the ultimate therefore he knows more and will always know more at the end of the day we dont know anything history has been re-written, stolen, burned, we dont know anything to begin with we only know so little about a world that to me and you is considered "big". So imagine if we even knew HALF truth to ANYTHING! The moral is that god is unpredictable and from my assumption, we wouldnt be able to coprehend god even if we tried at least not fully unless he chose to.
This video made me tear up. I can totally relate to job right now in my life. Nothing feels more satisfying then light and righteousness win against darkness and evil. The world should belong to righteousness and good willed people. In the end when good people win, it feels so good.
I'm a youth minister and we have a "question box" where students can ask questions anonymously and we talk about them in class. One of my students asked "Why does God sometimes send things into your life and then take them away?" I just wanted you to know that I'll be showing this video on Job as part of the discussion, and your videos are impacting a lot of people! Thanks
People will twist the saddest, most unforgivable stories to make god the good guy. He wagered Job's life to have bragging rights. Daughter: Daddy, why do I have cancer? Dad: Because God is betting that this won't break me.
God doesn't take away. The devil does, because he comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Jesus said, "I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly." Did Jesus ever in His life here on Earth took anything from anyone? No. Jesus is the perfect reference to the character of God. If you do not see Jesus taking anything from anyone, neither is God.
@@shimrondeocampo9283 The Lord can definitely take things away. Job 1:21, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
@@mrfamous333 However, at the final chapter of Job, after Job was confroted by Elihu, he said "surely I spoke about things I did not understand"(Job 42:3). Job was deceived by the devil that it was God who took away everything from him.
@@shimrondeocampo9283 That statement does not falsify everything Job says prior to that, for he also glorifies God in what he says. You can't cherry pick things he's wrong about; you need to compare it to the rest of scripture: 1 Samuel 2:6-7 ESV The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. Deuteronomy 32:39 ESV “‘See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
I was a long-lost child of God, until I found. After found by God I still had so many trials ahead and doubted HIS Wisdom, until Job story and Ecclesiastes 3-1-11 become strength that built my faith again. Everytime I feel down I always remember Job story and the verses. God never promises that with HIM everything will be smooth, but He promised whatever happen to us HE is always be with us. That's beautiful
Idk.. did u watch the video? We dont deserve anything that is good.. we are all sinners and even deserve hell.. but regardless of what happens we should always be able to trust in God.
I stumbled upon this video when I was at my wit's end, struggling with a complex problem. The presenter's insightful approach and step-by-step guidance provided the breakthrough I desperately needed. Now, I'm not just problem-free but thriving!
@@y.martel842 Remember, it was for the "greater good". This world is transient. Forty, eighty, or a hundred and twenty years here is nothing compared to a gazillion years in heaven.
Job is one of those passages I read when I don’t know why my world seems to be crumbling. It lets me know that I don’t have to know why things happen but in the midst of everything to Trust God. That he’ll never put more on you than you can bear. It calms my anxiety and gives me a piece that sometimes i don’t even know how I can be so calm in the worst of storms in my life...
I've always loved how God's ultimate, final answer is "I can beat you up, and if you don't believe me, I wrestled Leviathan." "....wait, back up, there's a monster out there so powerful defeating it was a challenge even for you? And you're putting it next to "created the universe on your resume? Is there something we need to know about?" "Bye!"
IF ANYONE SEES MY DESPERATE PRAYER: Pray my family remains together under the name of GOD. Please pray every member of the family does not lose hope that could will shine a light unto horrific situations. Pray we come out of this with a testimony to His MIGHTY glory. A quick prayer is much appreciated friends of internet. Prayer is POWERFUL, and in this desperate situation the Lord is our ONLY HOPE.. Thank you everyone.
Eva Flynn so... Santa Claus is a silly story that only children believe but the invisible guy who created everything who there’s literally no evidence for is 100% real???? Ok sure
I said a prayer for you and nevermind what the devils children say. They are lost and do nothing but try to spread doubt and fear and take as many down with them as possible. God bless you🙂
@@Starlight81781 ok so god knows everything yet tortures job... why? you can’t say it’s for job to prove his love for god if god is all knowing & knows the outcome. you guys have little critical thinking skills.
God makes a bet with the devil and fucks up jobs life big time. He then almost loses the bet and intervenes. Not wanting to let job know that the reason he killed his family was a bet, he told job that he is could not possibly understand any immoral action that god allows since job is not able to see the bigger picture. God convinces him by showing him cool shit. Then, because god felt bad for killing jobs children, he gave job double the shit he had before which totally replaced his previous family. The moral of the story is that god can do any shit he wants no matter how fucked up and we must accept it because he is god. Also, that the choice of the jobs previous children to not abandon god is completely worthless and they are just pawns just to prove that god was right. Y’all are a naive and ignorant cult hopelessly brainwashed shit.
@@ss-wb7ed um it literally says in physical text exactly that. A wager is a bet. Also, obviously you don’t know how god works either since that is the supposed point that you christians choose to highlight in this story.
Well, God just spoke to me through this. I was feeling exactly as job did confused, hurt, not understanding why God allows me us to go through pain, and as I was looking through youtube, this shows up and all of a sudden after listening to it I feel at peace.
*"LIFE The Real Self" ( NOT the human entity ) an Offspring and Child of "The LIGHT, The LIFE of GOD" does NOT Suffer Pain !* *It is just the human species that suffers... Here is WHAT Jesus had to say about humans: From "The Gospel [ ACCORDING TO ] John", in chapter 8, verses 43 to 46, Quote; 43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word... 44. Ye are of your father the DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do... He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it... 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not... 46. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? End Quote...*
@@armandmarcelino5039 God ordains whatsoever comes to pass - even the suffering we experience due to our own sin and the sin of others. However, our sins, the sinful actions of Satan, nature, and other secondary causes (God being the first cause) are used by God for our good and for his glory. When we come to understand this fact of life, then we walk this life out in complete trust in God not only for happy times but also for our sufferings. And because we know God has ordained our sufferings, we also know that these sufferings are, ultimately, for our good. And, thus, we praise God for his operation in our lives from beginning to end and we learn contentment even in our sufferings. God is good in his love and care for us.
@@DeezNailz Nope . That's not an omnibenevolent god, the more accurate description of this deity is a sadistic being, Suffering is a part of human nature, you can handle the trials because of hardwork and trust in yourself, don't put a god in your success. If I were an Omnipotent god, I wouldn't put my creations into suffering, why would I even do that? It's in his nature that he's an all loving god, but puts you on suffering? This questions even his existence that an all powerful being is useless in the time of needs .
I love the book of Job ..it remind us that no matter what happened we must keep praising God at all times.. Psalm 34:1 -I will praise the Lord at all times His praise shall continue be in my mouth.
No matter how UNJUST, CRUEL, and STUPID Yahweh is... Always crawl on your knees to worship and praise the celestial dictator. Always renounce reason, logic and critical thinking. Then you will be happy.
Why? Job praised him continuously and got the worst punishment imaginable. If he hadn't been such a loyal guy, that opposer guy wouldn't have pointed him out as loyal and God wouldn't have fucked with him. God was an asshole in this
You're criticizing Jesus? "My God, my God, why hast thou forsakenme? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?" You got balls. I hope you don't plan on using that as a justification to God to get into Heaven!
I witnessed something big today I woke up 1hour late for the last exam. And only 20min we left for the curfew of entering the exam room , I managed to arrive before the curfew.that was the last exam to write and it shocked me for real.but I managed to finish the exam on time and i was 1 hour late.GOD IS GREAT.
I am an elderly Muslim Indian woman who is keenly interested in comparative religion. Also I respect all religions. Just now I learnt a lot from the story of job, who is ayub in Muslim scriptures and is revered for his faith which remained unshaken in the midst of all kind of miseries and a bad skin affliction. I liked the video very much, found it informative
Job’s story really impacted me to believe more in God. I lost a relationship that I thought I was going to be married, lost my job, drained all of my savings but I was able to get closer to God more than ever. I asked God for wisdom and strength and this is his way of giving it to me. Thank you God for all you do! Amen 😊
I feel like these books could also be a representation of one’s gradual maturity of faith throughout life. The first Book of Proverbs represents youth of our life when we are a bit naive about life and ambitious to succeed and “innocent” in a way that we haven’t met big life challenges yet and we believe life is fair and just. Then the second Book of Ecclesiastes represents the point of our life when our faith is tested and we face big life challenges for the first time and our whole belief system is questioned, we become a bit cynical, we start to believe life is not fair and we don’t see the meaning or the point of life and all this suffering. The third and final Book of Job tells us that God ALWAYS has a meaning for our life and that he is always with us even through the hardest challenges when we feel betrayed and abandoned and that we should always trust Him and His infinite wisdom and believe it’s happening for our greater good. :)
*The third and final Book of Job tells us that God ALWAYS has a meaning for our life and that he is always with us even through the hardest challenges when we feel betrayed and abandoned and that we should always trust Him and His infinite wisdom and believe it’s happening for our greater good.* I'm very curious what edition of the story you're reading that says any of that, or even vaguely suggests it. In this story God *caused* Job's hardest challenges, just to prove a point to Satan, whose opinion shouldn't matter on anything. Job's trust in God WAS betrayed. The only greater good that came out of it happened after God bullied Job into submission, not by explaining anything but by saying "I'm bigger than you so be quiet." And even then God didn't bother bringing back Job's slain children (presumably he could have) but by "blessing" him with new ones, as if children are as replaceable as sheep or crops. Job's wife did most of the work for that part anyway. Have you even read the story?
@@scotte4765 The story is used to prove that there are people who do good things for the sake of goodness rather than to gain anything. It also shows what it means to be a faithful Christian. You totally missed the point of the video
@@jakenguyentang887 Who in the story did good things for the sake of goodness? Where is being a Christian mentioned? I don't think you've read the story either.
@@scotte4765 If you approach life believing that avoiding suffering is going to make you happy, many things out of the Bible arent going to make sense. Its the fabric of the book of Job that the wisdom of man doesn't hold up at the scale of God's thought and action. There's a reason the Bible's books on Wisdom can feel inconclusive and confusing. Christ compares the actions of God to those of a gardener in the New Testament. A flowering tree has no place to rebuke its gardener if the decision is made to prune it, even if the process wounds it, clipping away part of its own being, that it's spent its existence growing and cultivating in its own eyes. Job learned from the experience, and grew as a result of his pruning. It was painful, and expressed in pages and pages of tragic Hebrew poetry questioning the value of life in terms of human suffering. It's easy to feel our gardener has betrayed our trust when he chooses to prune us, but we have no right to offer an alternative. It's foolishness to do so. If it wasnt for the permeation of sin, there would be no suffering at all. None of us have the right to a life with no suffering, except Christ himself, who showed us clearly that a life full of pain that gives glory to God is a life that we should be honored to live. I think you've read Job's story. You're just missing the point. It's insolence and pride that gives us the audacity to challenge our maker. At least he's longsuffering enough to let us live with our mistakes, with the chance to grow and turn to him.
Ethan B Thanks for the reply, but you’re doing the same thing the previous two commenters did: reading into the story morals and lessons you like but which aren’t actually in the story at any point. The analogy of pruning a tree is appealing, but it doesn’t work here. We’re told explicitly at the start that Job was righteous and blameless; he did not need “pruning” of any sort. We’re also told why these atrocities were done to him, and it had nothing to do with his own improvement. It was purely God trying to prove a point to Satan, which is a bizarre situation in itself. The only lesson Job seems to have learned (since he never actually got any answers to his very just and reasonable questions) was that he should be quiet and not ask questions when confronted by domineering bullies. Sorry, but I don’t find that an admirable lesson. And even the morally questionable lesson that submitting to bullies will yield rewards is itself a lie, because you know was well as I do that here in the REAL world people don’t get double of what they lost restored to them when they submit to God. They have to carry on and make do on their own just like everyone else. I have nothing against learning from hardships, but nothing you’re saying about that here is supported by the text of this particular story. The only reason some people find it confusing is that they’re trying to look at it through fogged-up Christian goggles. In the context of the early Bronze Age polytheistic culture in which it was written, where the watchword was “my god can kick your god’s ass”, it’s still not very comforting but it does make sense.
I have been questioning my faith this last 2 years in my life and i am starting not to believe in God anymore. Just because how my life went and how my world turns upside down. I curse God and blame him for my misfortunes... Then i heard a podcast that told a story about The Book Of Job.. Which in turn brought me here..I really appreciate this medium and it showed me an important awakening. I hope many people can watch this and learn something and realize Life is Just and God is good all the time.
TheJhong47 God is good yes Sir, ALL of the time. There are things He will have us go through in our lives that we may not understand but it is ultimately for GOOD. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
GOD Wants you to question his existence you cant be a zombie following God because your parents where Christians. we are made in the image of God snd out of all creation we are favoured. we have a gift called FREE WILL, therefore God would not force you to love him . when you seek God for who he is not because of what he offers you will find him.
The book of Job is great, you should really read it, the animation is good but it doesn't do justice to the book, the speech of Elihu, God's messenger, closing the end of the book is eye opening, he's the one who explains to Job how presumptious and arrogant he's been. I also didn't like that the video presented ambiguity regarding the explanation that was given to Job and Elihu wasn't even mentioned, feels like they didn't even read the book.
TheJhong47 continue to question, its good I personally felt strongly in my faith until i came across Plato’s allegory of the cave and then started to apply the reasoning to god. And found that the more you question the more answers you receive. I turned from unsure to wether if god was all loving or all powerful to come to the concussion that god was not all powerful or all knowing but was to a certain decree more like pi in the sense that infinite was still plausible and came to the realisation that you could apply some of the aspects of Plato’s allegory of the cave to the nature of haven to suggest how we can never attain it nor reach it. In other words god can be understood by human logic and is therefore understandable but some of his words are deeply illogical and nonsensical. So there are always more questions to answer so never stop looking for them.
@@janitakanu7680 it's too late. I'm too old and fed up. I have given up on him because he hates me. I know what my purpose once was. He just chose to keep me from it. No purpose at all
@@johnnyyuma9802 First, we must remember Our Father is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He loves us so much that He allowed His innocent and Holy Son to be _mocked,_ _tortured,_ and _murdered_ for the salvation of His children. Who better than The One who *created you* and knows all the hairs on your head, would know how to heal your brokenness? Jesus says *"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."* (Matthew 11:28) He is the Healer, the Comforter, the Prince of Peace. I don’t know what you're struggling with now so I can't speak to your situation. But we can see through the gospel that He never forsakes those who have faith in Him and follow Him. EVEN when it may seem like He's abandoned us. One thing we often forget is that following Him means going through some challenges, especially in a God-hating world. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Don't quit the race, and don't let the enemy win! In the life of a follower, trials can signify different things; "the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastens everyone He accepts as His son." (Hebrews 12:6) Sometimes there are sins we need to repent for, sometimes He is taking us through trials to strengthen our relationship with Him, and sometimes He is building our faith through patience. There's so much to learn about God and His purpose in your life, I couldn't possibly know it all (or summarize it in a RUclips comment if I did). Please ask God, *the Alpha and the Omega,* who is outside of time, and whose ways are higher than your ways, and whose thoughts are higher than yours, what He is trying to reveal to you? What does your life look like through His eyes? I pray this trial strengthens your faith, and works together with all other things in your life, for your good! 🙏🏼❤ *"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)*

It is well with you beloved in Christ and may His peace and joy be yours by His Spirit Who dwells in you. Be encouraged to keep your eyes fixed on our Good Lord. You may not necessarily know the ‘why’ behind this disease you have been diagnosed with, but the Lord our God does, and like Job be encouraged to trust in Him and in His will, and may His good and perfect will be done in you and through you. KNOW that, come what may, all we who have believed look ahead with hope to be united together to welcome Him when we meet Him in the air on His glorious return🙌🏾
May the Lord God have mercy on you. May you be cured, if He wills it, and may you join Him on the day of Judgement in eternal Paradise
You are like Job suffering from a great illness. But you know the Lord. Trust in the Lord for you know his will is good.

So back in July 2019 I was a mess. Drinking, crying, just upset at God for taking both my parents by the time I was just 29 y/o. I was so sad & lonely. That night I prayed, I asked God, “what should I read in the Bible?” (A friend suggested I ask Him this). Kid you not...as I’m sleeping, I heard a voice-very calm, slow & just soothing whisper in my ear, “Job”. Never heard of Job before this. Never knew anything about Job. I woke up & remembered hearing “Job” & let me tell you...it restored my trust & faith in Jesus like 1000! Ok! Been on fire for Him ever since & it’s been the best times of my life living for Him! Blessings to everyone!
I glad it worked for you. Hearing this made me more angry and worse than before
Johnny Yuma thank you but that’s unfortunate to hear (your anger/worsen feelings). Prayers out to you, Johnny that God removes those feelings & replaces it with The Fruit Of The Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Johnny Yuma I’ve been there! When my parents died, I hated God. I was upset, depressed, confused, worried I mean just a bunch of negative feelings. I’m sure it was meant to feel that way too. But then...instead of hating Him, I talked to Him. I vented to Him & overtime I got all the answers I needed. Try it. He is the only one who turns pain in to peace, hate in to love & sorrow in to joy. Trust me, Johnny. Just try it.

I am now homeless, spent 16 years in prison, lived a life of sex, drugs , and rock n roll, and at 50 years old i realized, with great pain, how weong and arrogant my thinking had been about God, so i jave repented, sworn to love and obey Jesus and trust God in all situations. Its been about a week now, and so many amazing things jave already happened. I found a great church, i was able to reconcile with my brother, and i jad an experience of Gods glory,.likely just the timiest fraction. I asked why i must praise Him and give all glory and hinor to Him. Truly, while praying, i saw the universe, jesus suffering on the cross for my, and others, sins, and how terribly and wholly corrupt my nature is and how all that is good came drom God. Then, i felt His presence, not in a nice comfy way, but in a totally AWEsome way that revealed His goodness while also revealing my sin nature. It was a terrible and wonderful experience. I dont know how things will go, but i know bu loving and obeying Jesus and His Word, whatever happens will be azing and for the good of Gods plan. Jesus is real! I love you, Lord! God bless you all🙏😊❤️
Owowowowowowo GOD IS GREAT!!!!
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
that's why I don't judge the church to destruction, given despite it's complete corruption it picks up sinners simply because its hipocrisy requires it to act as a church of God despite in reality acting to enslave the population for the government, which is why the government adopted the church (and [Nazi] psychiatry) in the first place. For some people false truths and false hope is useful when there's nothing else. Sex, drugs , and rock n roll is also adopted by the government to rule. Panem et circenses. But back to the point, that was the role of egyptian priesthood thousands of years ago, and Moses was raised by it... government, enslavement, which is ironic since God was always mad about disobedience to him, and thus meant disobedience to any other master. God is gealous it is written
Amen! Thank God, you've been saved🎉 remember to always have faith, for your love with God can not be broken by anyone or anything else, but you❤🙏🙏 God bless you on your journey, new brother/sister in Christ!
for each of you clowns claiming praying solved your problem, a thousand others die who prayed as well.
oops my bad. i forgot: they prayed wrong and are not real christians. yep, my bad. you got me.
🤡🤡🤡
The book of job is the book that always sticks out to me from the Bible. I was born prematurely, doctors told my mom I wouldn’t live long I’m 35 years old now. As a little kid, I was diagnosed with asthma, and pre-diabetes both gone now. When I was in high school, I had really bad anxiety to the point where I didn’t wanna leave my room had to take medication for it. Thank God I don’t have crushing anxiety anymore. When I turn 21 I was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes three years later after praying to Jesus to be healed. I don’t have glaucoma anymore. I reach 30 I was diagnosed with diabetes. Pray to God, I ate well and I exercised, and I don’t have diabetes anymore thank God. Throughout it, all, I have learned to love the Lord with my entire being. Because no matter what I go through it’s his presence in my life that brings me peace.
Thank you for this humbling and inspiring testimony.
I might only add that one might call the letter of James New Testament book of wisdom. Read all over chapter 1 because I think it sheds some much needed light on how to interpret the book of Job.
Woogood 🎉
God bless you❤
wow
What a shame
I thought i was suffering until i came into the comments and realized how great people have faith in God despise their difficult situations, i'm really humbled by this. All glory be to Jesus now and forever
Me 2
Me too, I came here because I felt lonelier than I ever been and I don’t have any good friends, but then I realized people have bigger problems than friends they have lost family members, they’re homeless, etc. it really humbled me and made me feel blessed to live peacefully
"I am thankful for the unity and fellowship that binds us together as the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:3)
People have faith because they suffer. They suffer under a ruthless globalized capitalist system, and because of that we need comfort in our day to day struggles. I know this because I've read Marx, and the rich ruling classes(who also own and influence organized religion) don't want you to understand Marx, religion is very useful to them.
I'm not saying God isn't real, I'm saying that the powerful forces at work exist because of the system, the humble hard working masses, unbeknown to them, generously give their power to the capitalist class when all workers don't fight for decent standards of living.
I hope to be like Job in the sense that I never lose my faith in God.
When my mother died I was 16. I used to pray every single day for her. When she died unexpectedly, I lost my faith afterwards.
Now at 21, I've regained it stronger than ever before. I'd never even opened a bible before, and now I've been exploring the word of the Lord more and more each day. I can truthfully say that my faith did waiver, and for that I will always be sorry to the Lord. But He will never lose me again, at least I hope not. I hope I am strong enough to persevere through life's struggles and always stay humble and kind.
Please dear Lord, give all of your loyal children the strength to persevere through life's miseries, and to praise your name when things are bad AND when things are good.
amen
Amen🙏
Amen ❤
Amen!!!!!

"Job is now the kind of person who no matter what comes, good or bad, he can trust in God's wisdom." As a Christian, this is really challenging but nothing is impossible when we trust God.
Indeed ❤
Wrong its easy when you have a life like job a everyday fking person
Try being abused daily by everyone 😂😂😂😂 but nah you are encouraging
@@junfour you’re half right. it was the accuser’s idea. but God allowed it. so yes i trust God’s wisdom. satan does nothing God does not allow. if you believe in the God of the bible, you know and accept He is ultimately in control. He has the final word, always.

Sooo true! I make Bible videos with verses for times when we want to sit back and relax :D
I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me....
I was just praying for your countries. That they woud see the face of Yeshua and feel THE LOVE that only He can give. Amazing! Prayers are answered every day! ❤️🛐❤️🛐❤️✝️

Hello I love you not for becoming a Christian but for sharing the kind experience
I love this, because it also paints a picture that God wants you to talk to Him whether you're happy or sad. He wants a relationship with you and is very forgiving and logical.
Or he wants to take everything from you and murder your loved ones. Did you not read the same scripture that I did? Am I the only sane one?
Torturing an innocent person for a wager is totally asinine at best and fucked up at worst especially when the deity knows the future
Dear recipient,
I invite you to read this message because it is very, very important.
We kindly request that you take a few moments of your time to read this letter because it is possible that this letter will open up a new dimension of your role a human being in this universe. We hope that you are a free, broad-minded person free from prejudice whose goal is to find the truth. Before we continue, let us declare to you the purpose of this letter - that it is an introduction and invitation to the lifestyle known as Islam.
SOME FACTS
Islam has approximately 1 billion followers known as Muslims who follow the final revelation to mankind, known as the "Qur'an", revealed to Prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago. Contrary to the common misconception, only about 20% of all Muslims are Arabs, the rest are Indians, Indonesians, Bosnians,Africans,Chinese,turkish and so on
.
WHAT IS ISLAM
Islam, unlike most other religions, is not named after any man. Instead Islam means the submission of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim". The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Islam is the religion that was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind like Jesus and Moses
.
THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM
The most important message of Islam is the absolute Unity of God-that there is only One Supreme Being who has no partners and is not dependent on anyone or anything. He is the creator of everything and the whole universe is under His control. Since the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. In essence, Islam calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. Allah is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. Hence prayers to the non-living such as the sun, fire, and to humans whether they be Jesus, Moses or even Muhammad are rejected, as Allah informs us in the opening chapter of the Qur'an, known as Soorah Al-Faatihah, verse 4:
"You alone do we worship and from you alone do we seek help."
A Muslim believes that Allah and His creation are distinctly different
entities. Neither is Allah His creation or a part of it, nor is His creation Him or a part of Him. Ultimately, it is the belief that the essence of Allah is everywhere in His creation or that His divine being is or was present in some aspects of His creation, which has provided justification for the worship of creation. Islam, hence, is a clear call to the worship of the Creator and the rejection of creation-worship in any form.
THE MIRACLE OF QUR'AN
"And if you are in doubt as to what We [Allah] have revealed…then produce a Soorah (chapter) like thereunto"(Soorah Baqarah 2:23)
This was the challenge put forth by Allah in the Qur'an 1400 years ago. As of yet, none has or will ever come close to meeting this challenge. Hence, as a result, multitudes throughout the centuries have believed and continue to believe in the Qur'an as a revelation beyond any human capacity. Modern scientists, for instance, have been amazed by the accuracy of scientific information presented in the Qur'an. Here are just a few examples:
In his book of embryology-'The Developing Human' [W.B. Saunders Publishing, 1982], Dr. Keith Moore added a whole chapter to discuss the scientific accuracy of the Quranic discussion of this science. Another eminent scientist, Dr. Maurice Bucaille wrote in his book-'The Bible, the Qur'an and Science':
"I could not find a single error in the Qur'an…if a man was the author of the Qur'an how could he have written facts in the 7th century A.D. that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific knowledge"
Facts about astronomy, the animal world and other natural phenomenon, that were alien to modern science not long ago, are scattered among the messages of Allah's Unity and His Attributes throughout the miracle that is known as al-Qur'an
.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS
There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to Allah. How can one determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the various religions, and identify the central object of worship to which they call, directly or indirectly. False religions all have in common one basic concept concerning Allah: they either claim that all human beings are gods or that specific individuals were Allah or that nature is Allah or that Allah is a figment of man's imagination. For example, Prophet Jesus invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim to be his followers today call people to worship Jesus, claiming that he was Allah while Jesus himself would deny this as Allah says in the Qur'an:
"And behold Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary Did you say to men, Worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah; He [Jesus] will say-"Glory to You I could never say what I had no right (to say')" (Soorah Al-Maa'idah- 5:116)
Even though false religions might teach some good things, they all, however, teach the greatest evil- the worship of creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts the very purpose of his creation, which is the worship of Allah as explained in the following verses:
"Verily Allah will not forgive the joining of partners with Him, but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whom so ever He wishes" (Soorah An- Nisaa 4:48 and 116)
"I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me" (Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56)
Why do I have to be muslim ?
Since the consequences of false religion are so grave, the true religion of Allah must be universally understandable and attainable, not confined to any people, place or time. Within the central principle of Islam and in its definition, lies the roots of lslam's universality. Whenever man comes to the realization that Allah is one and distinct from His creation, and submits himself to Allah, he becomes a Muslim and is eligible for paradise. This is the essence and the corner-stone of Islam:
"Laa Elaaha lllallaah" (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah)
Its repetition and the sincere belief in it automatically brings one within the fold of Islam and guarantees one Paradise. Thus, the final prophet of Islam is reported to have said, "Any one who says: there is no god but Allah and dies holding that (belief) will enter paradise." (Reported by Abu Dharr and collected by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim

@@Charlie94781 thank you!! Finally! Someone who isn’t delusional
@@Charlie94781 "when the deity knows the future?" you mean when He knew that Job's future will be restored and that he will get way more than he's ever had before, and will be happier than ever? you have a limited perspective, we all do, but God could see way ahead and outward. that's the whole point
Job suffered for us. It wasn't random, God in his infinite wisdom knew Job's story would make it into the bible, knew Christian's for generations would read it and learn from it, analyze it, gain comfort or understanding or peace from it. We are the "why" to Job's story. Like mentioned, God can see everything and details we can't even begin to comprehend, including the details of the future.
Job didnt deserve any of it and neither did I. An all knowing god did this knowing the outcome. That's immature of god to do so.
The middle of my job story was 13 years ago. And 13 years later he hates me even more. All because I didnt answer his call to become a priest. God hates me and wont allow my plan, happiness or anything that I work for.
That my friends is hate, NOT love!!!
@@johnnyyuma9802 There are a few fundamental assumptions here that I would like to challenge.
1) Why do you not deserve punishment? If you are a child of God, you are no longer a child of wrath, true. But we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We, everybody deserves wrath, not grace, but God does give us grace. The rain falls upon the just and the unjust.
2) Why do you assume that God hates you because you were not given the role of a priest. To be clear, I do not know what denomination or beliefs you hold to whether that be Roman Catholicism or Protestantism. God may have a better plan for you, or He might have a different time for you to become one. I would not say God is hating you because things did not go as you intended.
Search the Scriptures to see the truth of God, and maybe He will guide you to a peace and deeper realization of His sovereignty and grace.
Peace be with you Johnny.
Sorry, I will correct my statement. Just because you chose not to do what you believe He may have called you to do, doesn't mean He hates you. There are other ways to serve as well, but for some things, you may have to step away from something you currently have. Jesus does tell us that we must hate father, mother, sister and brother to be true disciples of Him. I'll clear up the statement though, since some interpret it incorrectly. We must still love our family, but we must love God the most. God is first and foremost, everything else comes after.
So maybe you should consider ways in which God might be calling you to the ministry, or even the Great Commission.
@@takodapeters8221 he called me at 17 during a retreat. I refused. And ever since he has made my life miserable..
I refuse gods plan or time because I know what is best for me. A god that doesn't allow me to reach MY plan for life is a hateful one. And nothing else. He had me all my life until March. Then I said I'm all set with that so called love of his. What kind of love leaves a good person to be slaughtered by bullies, skanks and jobs?

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Sooo true! I make Bible videos with verses for times when we want to sit back and relax :D
He struggled in flesh but never give up in spirit
Beautiful words brother. God bless❤️✝️
He needed to understand. We all do. He came to understand by understanding that God's wisdom is beyond his understanding.
He could do this because his live for God was unmovable, deep, part of him.
He needed to understand. We all do. He came to understand by understanding that God's wisdom is beyond his understanding.
He refuted the "friends" explanations as Jesus refuted legal explanations that did not come out of an awareness and relationship with God.
Both Job and Jesus had that relationship.
They both could do this because their love for God was unmovable, deep, part of them.
In a way I see Job as a prophetic figure of Jesus.
God did not restore his first children. Because they were dead. God gave Job three new daughters and seven new sons. Neither did he restore his wife. She was dead. So those children came from another mother.
Surely God gave him those human beings in his life to love, to look after them, and not as posesions.... Frankly it makes for a hard reading, considering I am a woman and a mother... ...if God had done that to me... how could he "replace" my children?? no child can replace another...
It would interesting if Job had written what all this new children and possessions ment to him. Maybe he had known all the way that they were only there to praise God.
Yes so true. 🙏🏻
I lost my 29 year old son just 2 weeks ago. I'm struggling. I keep asking God "why?!" And "why now?" My son had 2 young daughters. My son was just beginning to really become mature, becoming a good dad to BOTH his girls, and he and I had the past year of getting to a great mom/son bond that had eluded us for several years. Why God WHY? I hope and I pray that my son had received Jesus in his last unconscious moments before eternity. Satan is tormenting me with thoughts and yet I feel the Holy Spirit saying "trust me" in this deep darkness of my life.
Be comforted… im sorry
Trust me when I tell you this... God DOES NOT give you a spirit of fear or worry. Those horrible thoughts are from Satan. Please remember that Satan knows he is doomed and will never win. Therefore, he hates and despises what God loves, which is you and your son. It's why Satan torments you with these thoughts. Satan knows he can do nothing to God, so he (Satan) works constantly to hurt the things that God loves most...which is you. Father in Heaven, please give this good man and good father your peace that surpasses all understanding. Give him strength, courage and wisdom to face each day knowing that you are in complete control, and that this good father will one day see his good son again with you in eternity and where no harm will ever come to either of them again. This I pray in Jesus name, Amen.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope God blesses you
DO NOT allow those thoughts!!! That is 100% Satan! God does not put thoughts like that in us. God says in the Bible "Fear not" 365 times, and I promise you that He is not putting those thoughts in your head or heart. So, I pray that God heals your heart and fills you with peace during this time. I pray that you will come to know that your son is with Jesus at this moment and that you two will see your son again. God bless you and your family.
I am praying for you. Jesus goodness is beyond. I strongly recommend the book Big Jesus by Aaron smith ❤️
Have you ever thought of making a movie? There aren't a ton of good Christian movies out there and with your beautiful animation skills I think you guys could make a great one.
Or a series. You could do a series with each episode dealing with different Bible stories. It would be awesome.

I just lost my van yesterday when it decided to seize the engine on the Highway. I'm fine, it was just comically bad timing I was on the way to a job i drove an hour and a half to get to. The engine seized not even 5 minutes from it. All I had to do was pick up some light items. i was depending on that job I have $10 to my name. Currently not sure what to do all of my money is self generated and requires my car. i'm likely going to go knock doors in my neighborhood bcus I have a bit of a sales background. I have a family member I'm hoping can borrow a car from but I'm not sure how itll go. Regardless, God is in control. Atleast I had some food in the fridge have a pot roast going but uhhh.. yeah lol.

I'm 24 and my mom has just been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer and there's a very real chance that I'm going to lose her. this has really made me start to think about my relationship with God and how I need to strengthen it and trust in Him no matter what. it feels very unfair to my whole family that my mom might have to go so soon, but I know that this is all part of God's plan for us and that we need to stay trusting in His infinite wisdom. to any of you reading this, please keep her in your prayers.

I thank God for the transformation He has done in me.
Back then, when I heard about Job's story it was truly hard to take in. I questioned God a lot, "why would He let this happen?"
My second time hearing it, I still really can't comprehend the entirety of it. But I am resting assured and at peace.
The thing is, we don't always have to understand. God and His ways are not always in the scope of our understanding.
So when time arises when we really don't understand, we just have to trust His heart.
I am so blessed to have this change of mindset, thank You so much Lord.
I always saw the end as Job passing the test and getting rewarded. This has really opened my eyes to show that that isn't the point and that we should praise God no matter what, good or bad. It helps me to remember not to take anything for granted. Thank you!

Whenever man comes to the realization that Allah is one and distinct from His creation, and submits himself to Allah, he becomes a Muslim and is eligible for paradise. This is the essence and the corner-stone of Islam:
"Laa Elaaha lllallaah" (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah)
Its repetition and the sincere belief in it automatically brings one within the fold of Islam and guarantees one Paradise. Thus, the final prophet of Islam is reported to have said, "Any one who says: there is no god but Allah and dies holding that (belief) will enter paradise." (Reported by Abu Dharr and collected by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim

@@georgehernandez7732But if you look at The Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, you can read that if be believe in Jesus, that He died for our sins, resurrected the third day defeating death that through Jesus Christ we can have eternal life. We can be reunited with loved ones, but we gotta believe in our hearts that Jesus died for our sins and resurrected, confess this with our mouths and repent of our sins. The Bible says God wants us to have a hope and a future.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He sent His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

@@kbg12ila take some peace in the love of god you will get through
@@taqtikal1941 I don't put my hope on that. I know my pain has a purpose. It's for God's purpose and God's purpose is for the ultimate good. So even if I suffer eternally I'll do it willingly and not blame or accuse God of anything. Just thanking him for being there and doing what is necessary for his ultimate good. If I didn't know God I would have killed myself which may have deprived someone else finding his truth through me. I'll still try to fight the suicidal urges for God's sake because suicide would go against God's purpose for me. I even see myself having this pain in heaven. Of course I'll be at peace with God's presence and satisfied by his grace but that's satisfaction keeps me going on and is sufficient for my existence. Happiness I won't have. Or well it's up to God but I'm not going to hope for it. That's putting personal expectations on God.
My children were murdered by there mother, I have struggled immensely ever since it happened. I love God but it was extremely difficult to accept or even comprehend what had happened (still can’t) It’s only my faith and knowing this story that some 14 years have passed and I’m still here praising the almighty. God is good all the time.💙

The Book of Job tells us to Live by Faith for better or for worse.
the book of job tells us that god punishes the innocent
@@glowingone1774 hahahhahaja
the book of job tells us god does whatever he wants and forces us to comply because 'we dont understand what he understands' and so we should just shut up and suffer. the bible is just a story kids. grow up.
@@bluesky8700 >(Job 1:1) - "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil."

Book of job taught me that God will toy with your life on a whim
I remember I was in a season of losing everything last year. Job, house, friends & family, nearly homeless. This pastor told me I reminded him of “Job” in the Bible. I thought of what he said today and start studying the Bible. I’m glad I seen this video it made me understand why he said that. No matter what happened I stayed close to God. Even though my disobedience got me into those situations but the storm ended like Job, God restored everything plus more. God didn’t do it to me but allowed it. I found identity, I found pain in that purpose. When it feel like I was losing on the outside I found myself within. If I never experienced that I wouldn’t had the urge to go feed the homeless on the weekends.
beautiful
God bless we all.
God makes a bet with the devil and fucks up jobs life big time. He then almost loses the bet and intervenes. Not wanting to let job know that the reason he killed his family was a bet, he told job that he is could not possibly understand any immoral action that god allows since job is not able to see the bigger picture. God convinces him by showing him cool shit. Then, because god felt bad for killing jobs children, he gave job double the shit he had before which totally replaced his previous family.
The moral of the story is that god can do any shit he wants no matter how fucked up and we must accept it because he is god. Also, that the choice of the jobs previous children to not abandon god is completely worthless and they are just pawns just to prove that god was right.
Y’all are a naive and ignorant cult hopelessly brainwashed shit.
@@exmateria1 the book of Job is about not passing any judgement, no judgment towards God or those around, irregardless of the circumstances.
Our carnal mind will never comprehend everything God does as we can not think on Gods level but I know this that everything here is a test and that we should trust God no matter what.
@@Onlinepower1 I like how christians go on and on about how atheists cannot say they have objective moral values. Look at this story. It basically says that all evil is justified for a greater purpose. Think of the most evil event that has happened in all of history. Maybe it is the persecution of the jews by Hitler, maybe its slavery, maybe it's the imbalance of power, or abortion. Whatever it is that you are thinking about, the christian is compelled to say that this horrible tragedy is the best such as, "Abortion leads to the greatest possible good". This is because everything god allows, as shown from this story, is good. Not only good but the best. How can you possibly have any sense of morality if the most immoral thing you know necessitates gods plan?
Before I actually became a Christian, this was one of two books of the Bible that I had read to genuinely understand - because they were required readings in a (secular) course on the Bible at a completely secular university. The other required book was Genesis. And so, when I started seeking God, for purely selfish reasons, 10 years later, these two books Genesis and Job - weighed heavily on my understanding of the Gospels and Christian theology. I get the sense many people who fall away from Christianity - especially young seminarians, some of whom seem to enter their professional religious studies with well-intentioned, but ultimately self-defeating pollyannish beliefs about Christianity - may not have a strong grounding in just who God realistically is, and what his rights realistically are. But with Job and Genesis rolling around in my head the entire time I was a self-professed atheist then agnostic, I think I was fortuitously prepared to meet Jesus with realistic expectations . I think this was indeed God’s plan for me, the way he prepared my heart to accept the Gospel. I came to Christ at age 29, am 60 today, and hope to die within the faith.
interesting. I always thought that people shouldn't start with the old testament because many of them end up developing a negative view on God and never want to pray to Him. because they don't get to see His immense love for us in the new testament. I'm glad you were able to find Him through the other way. thanks for sharing a new perspective
Hi, James, Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I grew up in a Christian home, attended church every Sunday enthusiastically, and the thing that was most challenging to my faith was attending a liberal Christian college where religion courses typically looked for ways to stir up doubt rather than faith. I have a hard time understanding that to this day other than the observation that an overly intellectual approach to the Bible and our relationship with God is counterproductive.
In the years following, through much prayer and additional study of God's Word, I now have a much stronger faith now than had my faith never been challenged. As Joseph said in the book of Genesis (chapter 50, verse 20), "What you (his brothers who sold him into slavery) intended for harm, God transformed into good and for the saving of many lives."
In terms of understanding the book of Job, I might only add a verse from the letter of James, what I consider to be the Wisdom book of the New Testament:
"So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession." (Chapter 1:16-18)
You are one of Jesus' sheep and he said he will not lose you. You dont have to "hope", rejoice my friend you are saved.
Whether you want, Jesus can come to your heart again
amen
I found myself suffering serious anxiety earlier this year. I practically couldn’t recognise myself because of what anxiety was doing to me daily. I struggled, couldn’t sleep and had to use prescription for many months. Although I still struggle sometimes, as I have now come off medication by doctor’s advice, God has been helping me. We don’t have all the answers to why things happen to us the way they do. We can simply trust that God always has our best interest at heart. May God show His mercy to anyone who like I was is struggling with fear, anxiety and sleeplessness. Stay strong, we had God with us and we shall overcome in Jesus name.
how are you doing now? although this comment is added only a month ago and in 1-2 months things dont change that much still i am asking how are things now?
So I'm not the most religious human being in the world. I don't pray to anything, and I don't attend mass. However, ever since I was younger I was always intrigued in the stories within the Bible and the messages they held; I thought of it purely as a long, historical fiction and philosophical commentary on humanity through the eyes of multiple writers. But that made it all the more interesting to me. So far, I've only really been looking up specific stories but, now that I'm older, I'm tempted to actually read the bible page by page. It's thanks to your videos that I've actually gained the motivation to do this. The beautiful animation helps too. ; )
Monster Fruitloop the Bible changes people. I was very greedy and selfish. But now after I’ve read the scriptures thoroughly I always keep them with me it helps me be a better person. Like there is no greater honour than one put down his life for a friend.
mark schiavone why are you copy and pasting the same response to different people, didnt you have anything better to do.
dru qiak not really. I can't think of anything better to do than point out facts about the bible, Quran etc.
I don't really know what to say to you Mark other than 'okay'. Your comment was sort of just this long sarcastic rant about information everyone is already aware of, but the issue I have is that it isn't completely accurate. There are multiple developments of God throughout the Bible, and the one you're primarily referring to is the one from the Old Testament. In the New Testament, God is, in fact, different and mimics more of the 'just, pure, and glorious' description you sarcastically mentioned. I mean, just look at Jesus; he has four completely different iterations based on the varied perspectives of the people who wrote about him. Four different stories, four different personalities, etc.
mark schiavone okay lol
I had cancer in 2012. It came out of no where like a thief and a murderer. I was attending a small college and was doing well. I tried going on a medical leave but I could not keep up. I reluctantly left. I never ask God why this happed to me. Instead I trusted him to bring me through. I stood on and prayed his word on healing. I read Job and other scripture daily. I read Job from a retrospective. This was because God knows the end from the beginning and I believed all things were going to work for good in trial. It was this that brought me through. I was supposed to get surgery to have a goofball size tumor next to my superior vena cava removed, 8 rounds of ABVD chemo and radiation. I opted for and trusted God with surgery and chemo much to my oncologist protest. The Lord was merciful and healed me after only 6 rounds of chemo. Now I am being challenged by the housing oligarchs and may face becoming homeless because of no rent control. My rent skyrocketed and extra $500. I will fast and pray and continue to trust him. I am also a veteran, and disabled. My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Amen
I pray and believe that the Lord will provide for you in Jesus' name. Your faith is admirable
Praying for you, that God would open doors of provision, and prepare a lavish table for you ( Ps 23). God bless you for your service!
Do you have a go fund me? I would gladly donate to help a fellow cancer survivor and sister in Christ.
Good things never come easy🥺
Best wishes to you...you certainly have been through a lot and its very inspiring that you remain faithful. My story is nowhere near as hard as yours and there are days I do doubt in God's goodness...and feel deserted by him, so its very comendable you are staying strong in your faith and hope you get many blessings
This is my interpretation,
Haven’t you notice that when we struggle, we can RELATE to one another. People show more empathy the most at the lowest point in people’s life. The more we accept God, life and all it’s challenges. The more we respect one another. You don’t know a person until you know they’re story.
I like your interpretation. I, myself believe that relating to each other is a choice, not regarded by how low we are, but our perspective of how equal we perceive each other. “At your highest point, no one is below you, at your lowest point, no one is above you”! Remember that and share it! Empathy and sympathy cannot be taught. It is inherently there or not. All man are equal. From the homeless, to the homeowners, and the extremely wealthy all the same. God is the only higher power. Not man! “No one above me but thee”!

I was literally suffering from the unemployment problem for the past 1.5 years, and I was so depressed that I thought I would not get a job ever, even after becoming an engineer. intresting thing is that i was surfing a few days ago about why I was not getting a job. I know that was dumb, but this video literally gave me all the answers I was looking for. Thank you, God, for giving me insight.
same here. although i m suffering bcuz of my own past wrong decisions.
but how are things going now with you?
Same man 😔 getting a job is so hard these days
The story of Job is bullshit
I really resonate with Job cuz despite all the suffering he still looked to God, personal story, I grew up in a very violent houshold and both parents were abusive. Sad thing is that I was never a troublemaker as a kid(Always quiet and still am). Looking back it was like as if Satan was using them to test me if I would keep searching for God but of course in the end it didn't stop me thanks to God. Whenever I went on walks alone especially in nature it felt like God was giving me that virtual tour and it was always peaceful. Moral of the story is to put your full trust and pray to God as I have always done and he will exalt you to a whole new level, he's done it with me and he'll do it with you🤗🕊.
What about those of us who get killed by the hand of these vile abusers. I view it as God standing by and watching suffering. Why is it, via this story we have been told, nirvana is always after suffering you didn't ask for in the first place. Isn't all of existence his "fault"? HOW did he allow this screw-up?
Either way I'm done being "thankful". These abusers would beat their families and then literally go to church and "praise the Lord" on Sundays.
Ahh Religon.
I'm supposedly dealing with the fallout of a decision I didn't make. Since when do we punish everyone for the crimes of one? I sure as hell didn't eat any apple, but unless I accept this story I have no proof ever happened, I get to go to hell.
Interesting. Let's see a Christian give an actual answer that makes sense to that without usual self confirming propaganda.
Personal n theft
@@mememan2344 Sir you missed the point, one thing humans get wrong is that God is careless in managing the world (and on the side I never mentioned religion at all in this) the point was that you have to be able to trust God even in dier situations, when God gave Job that virtual tour he was showing how he is taking into account every detail on earth and he was basically telling Job 'why not you manage the entire planet for a day' and that's when Job got the hint because
what people see and know about the world is not a quarter to God's understanding of his creation. Despite how enigmatic earth is we have to trust that God will pull us through and not worry constantly of what might happen.
@@johnekunode All of christian theology is constantly making excuses for the FACT that GOD allowed this all to happen. He's omnipotent, knows the future and the past. So he KNEW what would happen when he let a demon HE put in earth slither around and talk to his pure innocent creation- and supposedly that's somehow "my fault". B.S.
What, was he asleep or something? A negligent parent letting their child drink poison or fall into the fire is more like it.
The story is a bunch of witchcraft archaic self punishing b.s.- the whole Bible is a constant reinforment of "thanking God", for being merciful and just awesome in general when ALL of this is his fault.
Job was supposedly Gods best servant, and God flippantly makes a bet with the very same demon who he KNOWS isn't gonna change his mind. God knows that whatever he allows Satan to do to Job, Satan is never gonna change his mind, so essentially, he allows Satan to kill Jobs entire family for no reason. But oh, it's ok, because he got a bunch of new crap and new family to replace the old, because JOB like US RIGHTEOUS CHRISTIANS is the main character, and therefore is actually important, in the same way christians worship jews. God created Jewish Jesus Christ perfect, and since God wasn't able to create ME perfect like he did the jews, I need to prostrate myself mentally to somebody who doesn't exist and I have never spoken to.
These stories make ZERO sense. God needs to do better, because he (the jewish God you believe in) did not consult me before subjecting me to his screw-up, so he can f off. And I won't be guilted into believing such a God exists. He does not.
I am a diest BTW, but all this "read this book to learn about God" is an obvious lie, because the jewish/islamic/Christian God's are all EVIL, and the texts are a bunch of evil psychotic babble.
So God couldn't get it right the first time- so I'd better believe in him so that when he comes back the SECOND time, I'll experience the "new heaven and earth" 😆 nope. And I won't be scared into believing either- because all you recruiters are taught to use the same tactics, and it's confusing. Why doesn't you guys have another god contest like Moses did to prove the true God. Oh no that's right because if I don't just MAGICALLY believe this b.s. I'm told, I'm an unbelieving wicked generation looking for signs and wonders -.-
How convenient.
Yes, I could indeed run the earth better than the Jewish God, because I would have killed Satan right off the bat. Unless of course he isn't truly all powerful and couldn't do that for some reason. Idk.
Stories can be very comforting.
My whole life I didn’t know the meaning of my name, it’s scary how the story relates to my life & recent events... God is real🙏🏾

Sorry to hear about that. That’s awful. May God give you wisdom to move forward.
@@cleangoblin2021 I almost got myself into a bipolar medication and even somewhere along the line any lazy medic would have diagnosed me with something worse. Luckily, I hesitated and was too afraid to become reliant on medication, so I kept postponing. The reason was to get myself enough time to meditate and then resolve the smallest eaiest habits that I caused to myself. Part of the habits was refusing to learn about myself and my mind. God helped me learn about CBT and notice every little tangent that was messing up my entire cognition. I then got the right diagnosis of unadvanced ADHD (treatable even without medication). It's wild to me that kids with mild (not severe) ADHD are all put on Ritalin or adderal. CBT and psychosocial improvement did it for me. At one time when my symptoms were fading, I decided to try half a pill orf Ritalin. The drug ws so powerful, I decided to never use it. Moral of the story: Trust God, always get a third doctor's opinion, go wth the least aggressive opinion, and focus on your thinking and socials. if you feel off, find every reason to get help or retreat and note down your thoughts. If you have a good prescription and a proven plan to wean offf it, be very very disciplined with it.

As a matter of fact, reading and comprehending the Bible is the fastest way to stop being a Christian. And intelligence and education is the fastest way to become an atheist.
I suffered a lot in my life and that lead me to became skeptical of God. I had erased every Christians channel on RUclips, but had forgotten to do so with this channel as well. Had not realized that because it never came anything to my feed. In the midst of me doing I sometimes I shouldn’t have, thinking God can’t exist when there is so much suffering so I can do whatever and it wouldn’t matter. This video came up. I thought I had erased every Christian channel, but maybe this is from God. So I watched. Did not understand this video at all and I thought it probably was just accident that this was on my feed. So I went through with the decision. I now realize it just was a destructive move. Regretting that move was what led me to God. The first thing that read was Job and it made perfect sense to my life. It was not accident it was God himself. I am a witness, God is good 🙏

Love the book of Job 🙌🏼 for me it brings the idea that God can be feared in a positive way. In a way where we fear and respect Him because of his greatness
this is a great book to read when you experienced trauma as a kid or you're going through something. like Job, I still dont understand why I've gone through the things that i did, but I'm grateful for it because im happier and closer to God than ever right now, I'm much stronger and wiser, thank You God, for everything.

@chetsenior7253 no one's existence is sinful. God created each and one of us with a purpose.
If you didn't go through that, you probably wouldn't be as close as you are to God. Our brokenness brings us to Him.
You know, my biggest fear has always been something tragic happening like my parents dying or something and me never being able to cope with it. I pray that I have Job’s outlook that God’s will is always the best way, no matter what happens
“Ask and you shall receive.” Your prayer is enough. Believe with all your being and be at peace.

Appreciate them everyday. Thank God for everyday spent with them. I lost my husband and mom a few years ago and coming from someone who experienced that. Although all those things happened I have the understanding that God gives and he takes. Through it all we have to have faith that everything is in God's plan so that we learn and appreciate.
Always read the Bible yourself. This is good to get a brief summary. But ALWAYS meditate on the word yourself. Jesus loves you. Seek the Holy Spirit

Job was self-righteous at the beginning, and humble by the end. That's a pretty powerful lesson right there. So much of our "humility" is self-serving and fake. Listening to people complain about God is a sure sign that they think they deserve something for their "faithfulness." But the only thing we deserve is hell. God's love for us means we don't get what we deserve. THAT is humbling to consider. And meant to challenge our self-righteousness by recognizing that God did for us through Jesus Christ something we can NEVER do for ourselves. He saved us from what we deserve. Trust God no matter what, people! Real humility is a trust that surrenders to God's Will... even though we don't fully know what it means or where it will take us. Be Blessed!

@@johnbeaufort7121 This is wisdom literature, not history, so I would not derive theological conclusions from what is clearly not the main message the book tries to convey. Besides, the whole point is that in the end, creatures won't be able to understand the reasoning of the Creator.

themselves your comments are spot on. What kind of love is that? A god that does that is like the abusive jock boyfriend we see in afterschool specials.
@Abrahamic God & his followers only love themselves I have also used the abusive boyfriend analog for the way he does things. Spot on
How can a new wife and children compensate? They can't. And clearly the author of this book understood that.
Compare the numbers at the beginning and end, the livestock. But then notice the children. The pattern breaks and it is not an accident. There's something important implied there. You don't have to believe it, but there is much intended by that final passage.
There's also much to be gained by examining the names of the daughters and the unique position they received, being granted an inheritance, but that's another matter.
John, your questions are valid and have been asked of this text for centuries. Sit with them.
I'm going through a breakup with my 8 year long companion, mostly because of my health issues, not being able to meet her needs, i lost my position at my job and been suffering more than i thought possible. i feel like im losing everything...

Praise the Lord, the All-Powerful. I enlarge your name. I give all the glory to Yahweh for my life. Lord, pardon both my confessed and unconfessed sins. Lord. I want less of me and more of you. I appreciate your protection. I sit in heavenly places and am the son of a powerful King, so I am truly blessed and highly favored. I adore you, Jesus. Lord, I hope that people who don't have a close relationship with you would become humble and seek your pardon while getting to know you. I bound the spirit of pride, Father.

I always feared to face what job faced... And it kinda happened to me ... With the feelings i had of unfairness and lost in this world for years i learned to pray and trust in god no matter what ... I actually found joy in it ... The only joy . Like its a new drug to pray and talk with god about everything and beeing thankful for everything through bad and good ... And after days i end up watching this video ❤❤❤
Im grateful
Same for me, I have to remind myself to rejoice in everything because its all going according to plan.
" Like its a new drug" I had this thought so many times. Instead of reaching out for that hit from this material world, you turn to the spiritual. How beautiful and sustaining is the Grace of God.
I struggle with the cruelty of the world and people but I realize people have freewill and God will not take someone's freewill. I'm currently learning to worship God no matter what but it's hard sometimes I'm thankful God uses imperfect people ❤
Praying for you
Thanks for sharing. I do hope to be in Heaven one day. God only knows what I’ve been through 🙏
I AM JOB... systematically stripped of absolutely everything and everyone precious to me, through no fault of my own. Tortured, shattered, fearful, full of pain and despair- yet not once did I doubt my God's love for me and not once did He leave me. Thank you for this perspective of the book of Job, it reinforces my faith and reminds me of the bigger picture.❤
Redemption ❤
God is so complex but I still trust on His wisdom. I don't understand Him most of the time but I believe in Him. I relate a little with Job, asking and getting angry with God, I've done it before. I always pray on Him and I don't feel His presence. I got disappointed because I always talk to Him. I feel that He forget me, He still didn't answer my prayer 😅 I'm so lost and I don't know what to do in my life. Because of desperation, I read the Bible. I know that I should read the Bible but it's so hard to start reading it. I did try before but I keep on stopping and abandon the idea of reading it. But now, I regularly read the Bible. I feel the motivation to read it and I'm so happy that I did! I'm still lost at life but my worry slowly fade away. I'm very thankful that I read the Bible seriously. I feel mad at myself why I didn't do it before 😅 Hearing God's word heal my anxiety. I still don't get Him but I feel at peace now.
know that the Lord promises to be by your side forever; and even if you don't feel Him, He will never ever abandon you because He loves you. Read Jeremiah 29:11 ;isaiah 41:10 , Romans 8:18 and romans 8:28 , John 3:16 , 2 timothy 1:7 , 1 peter 5:7 , all my rfavorite bible verses hihihi
and romans 8:38
btw the Lord says He is very proud of you
God bless you
Thank you for this video. I had not been able to read Job since my husband was on his cancer journey--9 years, until he died 11/25/2021. I would just skip it in my Bible readings schedule. I couldn't handle it. But, here I am 16 months a widow and God has pushed me to read it. God knows I need to learn from this book. So, your video popped up and it's been a good encouragement. Blessings to you!
Hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
I always had this idea in mind that our family has been cursed, that my generational bloodline has done unforgivable practices or acts which angered God. Every time we encounter painful trials like consecutive loss of my siblings and other misfortunate events in our family. The Book of Job has been my hope that whatever happens, God is always there for us. He deserved to be praised in whatever season. By watching this, it reminds me that God's wisdom is unfathomable. Every thing works according to His will. Therefore, I just need to trust in His ways even though the pain is so unbearable.
When God said, "Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?" (Job 38: 2) I felt it was directly said to me. I forgot that this isn't about me, it's about God's sovereignty. indeed, The Lord is Good! and Wise! and Controls everything in His mighty Hands! We just have to obey him, repent, read His Word, Pray everyday. Just Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's declaration - Whether the Lord deliver us from death or not, He is worthy to be Praised!

Job by far is my favorite book in the bible. It is a true inspiration to me.
James Boone why? The narrator agrees that it doesn’t make any sense.
@@dezertfox3130 because it goes back to the second book, on how we will never coprehend god in this physical realm or even spiritual because he is the creator and we are his creations, he is the ultimate therefore he knows more and will always know more at the end of the day we dont know anything history has been re-written, stolen, burned, we dont know anything to begin with we only know so little about a world that to me and you is considered "big". So imagine if we even knew HALF truth to ANYTHING! The moral is that god is unpredictable and from my assumption, we wouldnt be able to coprehend god even if we tried at least not fully unless he chose to.
James Boone: Hello🤗! Job teaches us to be p a t i e n t😇🙏,more than anyone else into the Holy Bible! May God bless you dear!⛪
Great lesson. Don't be too good or God will send Satan to kill your children.
For me its Job too and Moses. This was so good I had to replay it wow.
This video made me tear up. I can totally relate to job right now in my life. Nothing feels more satisfying then light and righteousness win against darkness and evil. The world should belong to righteousness and good willed people. In the end when good people win, it feels so good.
I'm a youth minister and we have a "question box" where students can ask questions anonymously and we talk about them in class. One of my students asked "Why does God sometimes send things into your life and then take them away?" I just wanted you to know that I'll be showing this video on Job as part of the discussion, and your videos are impacting a lot of people! Thanks
People will twist the saddest, most unforgivable stories to make god the good guy. He wagered Job's life to have bragging rights.
Daughter: Daddy, why do I have cancer?
Dad: Because God is betting that this won't break me.
God doesn't take away. The devil does, because he comes to kill, steal, and destroy.
Jesus said, "I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly."
Did Jesus ever in His life here on Earth took anything from anyone? No.
Jesus is the perfect reference to the character of God.
If you do not see Jesus taking anything from anyone, neither is God.
@@shimrondeocampo9283 The Lord can definitely take things away. Job 1:21, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."

@@shimrondeocampo9283 That statement does not falsify everything Job says prior to that, for he also glorifies God in what he says. You can't cherry pick things he's wrong about; you need to compare it to the rest of scripture:
1 Samuel 2:6-7 ESV
The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts.
Deuteronomy 32:39 ESV
“‘See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
I was a long-lost child of God, until I found. After found by God I still had so many trials ahead and doubted HIS Wisdom, until Job story and Ecclesiastes 3-1-11 become strength that built my faith again. Everytime I feel down I always remember Job story and the verses. God never promises that with HIM everything will be smooth, but He promised whatever happen to us HE is always be with us. That's beautiful
Job was rewarded because he never lost his faith or love for God, despite his losses and struggles in the flesh.

It calms my anxiety and gives me a piece that sometimes i don’t even know how I can be so calm in the worst of storms in my life...

God makes a bet with the devil and fucks up jobs life big time. He then almost loses the bet and intervenes. Not wanting to let job know that the reason he killed his family was a bet, he told job that he is could not possibly understand any immoral action that god allows since job is not able to see the bigger picture. God convinces him by showing him cool shit. Then, because god felt bad for killing jobs children, he gave job double the shit he had before which totally replaced his previous family.
The moral of the story is that god can do any shit he wants no matter how fucked up and we must accept it because he is god. Also, that the choice of the jobs previous children to not abandon god is completely worthless and they are just pawns just to prove that god was right.
Y’all are a naive and ignorant cult hopelessly brainwashed shit.

@@armandmarcelino5039
God ordains whatsoever comes to pass - even the suffering we experience due to our own sin and the sin of others. However, our sins, the sinful actions of Satan, nature, and other secondary causes (God being the first cause) are used by God for our good and for his glory.
When we come to understand this fact of life, then we walk this life out in complete trust in God not only for happy times but also for our sufferings. And because we know God has ordained our sufferings, we also know that these sufferings are, ultimately, for our good.
And, thus, we praise God for his operation in our lives from beginning to end and we learn contentment even in our sufferings. God is good in his love and care for us.
@@DeezNailz is that too hard to understand?. Why would you praise a being who's responsible for your suffering?
@@DeezNailz Nope . That's not an omnibenevolent god, the more accurate description of this deity is a sadistic being, Suffering is a part of human nature, you can handle the trials because of hardwork and trust in yourself, don't put a god in your success.

I am an elderly Muslim Indian woman who is keenly interested in comparative religion. Also I respect all religions. Just now I learnt a lot from the story of job, who is ayub in Muslim scriptures and is revered for his faith which remained unshaken in the midst of all kind of miseries and a bad skin affliction.
I liked the video very much, found it informative
hello... love from indian christian
I think Ayub or yobu is closer to the Hebrew name.
Job’s story really impacted me to believe more in God.
I lost a relationship that I thought I was going to be married, lost my job, drained all of my savings but I was able to get closer to God more than ever.
I asked God for wisdom and strength and this is his way of giving it to me.
Thank you God for all you do! Amen 😊
I feel like these books could also be a representation of one’s gradual maturity of faith throughout life. The first Book of Proverbs represents youth of our life when we are a bit naive about life and ambitious to succeed and “innocent” in a way that we haven’t met big life challenges yet and we believe life is fair and just. Then the second Book of Ecclesiastes represents the point of our life when our faith is tested and we face big life challenges for the first time and our whole belief system is questioned, we become a bit cynical, we start to believe life is not fair and we don’t see the meaning or the point of life and all this suffering. The third and final Book of Job tells us that God ALWAYS has a meaning for our life and that he is always with us even through the hardest challenges when we feel betrayed and abandoned and that we should always trust Him and His infinite wisdom and believe it’s happening for our greater good. :)
*The third and final Book of Job tells us that God ALWAYS has a meaning for our life and that he is always with us even through the hardest challenges when we feel betrayed and abandoned and that we should always trust Him and His infinite wisdom and believe it’s happening for our greater good.* I'm very curious what edition of the story you're reading that says any of that, or even vaguely suggests it. In this story God *caused* Job's hardest challenges, just to prove a point to Satan, whose opinion shouldn't matter on anything. Job's trust in God WAS betrayed. The only greater good that came out of it happened after God bullied Job into submission, not by explaining anything but by saying "I'm bigger than you so be quiet." And even then God didn't bother bringing back Job's slain children (presumably he could have) but by "blessing" him with new ones, as if children are as replaceable as sheep or crops. Job's wife did most of the work for that part anyway. Have you even read the story?
@@scotte4765 The story is used to prove that there are people who do good things for the sake of goodness rather than to gain anything. It also shows what it means to be a faithful Christian. You totally missed the point of the video
@@jakenguyentang887 Who in the story did good things for the sake of goodness? Where is being a Christian mentioned? I don't think you've read the story either.
@@scotte4765 If you approach life believing that avoiding suffering is going to make you happy, many things out of the Bible arent going to make sense. Its the fabric of the book of Job that the wisdom of man doesn't hold up at the scale of God's thought and action. There's a reason the Bible's books on Wisdom can feel inconclusive and confusing. Christ compares the actions of God to those of a gardener in the New Testament. A flowering tree has no place to rebuke its gardener if the decision is made to prune it, even if the process wounds it, clipping away part of its own being, that it's spent its existence growing and cultivating in its own eyes. Job learned from the experience, and grew as a result of his pruning. It was painful, and expressed in pages and pages of tragic Hebrew poetry questioning the value of life in terms of human suffering. It's easy to feel our gardener has betrayed our trust when he chooses to prune us, but we have no right to offer an alternative. It's foolishness to do so. If it wasnt for the permeation of sin, there would be no suffering at all. None of us have the right to a life with no suffering, except Christ himself, who showed us clearly that a life full of pain that gives glory to God is a life that we should be honored to live. I think you've read Job's story. You're just missing the point. It's insolence and pride that gives us the audacity to challenge our maker. At least he's longsuffering enough to let us live with our mistakes, with the chance to grow and turn to him.
Ethan B
Thanks for the reply, but you’re doing the same thing the previous two commenters did: reading into the story morals and lessons you like but which aren’t actually in the story at any point. The analogy of pruning a tree is appealing, but it doesn’t work here. We’re told explicitly at the start that Job was righteous and blameless; he did not need “pruning” of any sort. We’re also told why these atrocities were done to him, and it had nothing to do with his own improvement. It was purely God trying to prove a point to Satan, which is a bizarre situation in itself. The only lesson Job seems to have learned (since he never actually got any answers to his very just and reasonable questions) was that he should be quiet and not ask questions when confronted by domineering bullies. Sorry, but I don’t find that an admirable lesson. And even the morally questionable lesson that submitting to bullies will yield rewards is itself a lie, because you know was well as I do that here in the REAL world people don’t get double of what they lost restored to them when they submit to God. They have to carry on and make do on their own just like everyone else.
I have nothing against learning from hardships, but nothing you’re saying about that here is supported by the text of this particular story. The only reason some people find it confusing is that they’re trying to look at it through fogged-up Christian goggles. In the context of the early Bronze Age polytheistic culture in which it was written, where the watchword was “my god can kick your god’s ass”, it’s still not very comforting but it does make sense.
I have been questioning my faith this last 2 years in my life and i am starting not to believe in God anymore. Just because how my life went and how my world turns upside down. I curse God and blame him for my misfortunes... Then i heard a podcast that told a story about The Book Of Job.. Which in turn brought me here..I really appreciate this medium and it showed me an important awakening. I hope many people can watch this and learn something and realize Life is Just and God is good all the time.
TheJhong47 God is good yes Sir, ALL of the time. There are things He will have us go through in our lives that we may not understand but it is ultimately for GOOD. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
GOD Wants you to question his existence you cant be a zombie following God because your parents where Christians. we are made in the image of God snd out of all creation we are favoured. we have a gift called FREE WILL, therefore God would not force you to love him . when you seek God for who he is not because of what he offers you will find him.
TheJhong47 if this animation talking about the book of Job is so grand. Check out DarkMatter2525's video on it.
The book of Job is great, you should really read it, the animation is good but it doesn't do justice to the book, the speech of Elihu, God's messenger, closing the end of the book is eye opening, he's the one who explains to Job how presumptious and arrogant he's been. I also didn't like that the video presented ambiguity regarding the explanation that was given to Job and Elihu wasn't even mentioned, feels like they didn't even read the book.
TheJhong47 continue to question, its good I personally felt strongly in my faith until i came across Plato’s allegory of the cave and then started to apply the reasoning to god. And found that the more you question the more answers you receive. I turned from unsure to wether if god was all loving or all powerful to come to the concussion that god was not all powerful or all knowing but was to a certain decree more like pi in the sense that infinite was still plausible and came to the realisation that you could apply some of the aspects of Plato’s allegory of the cave to the nature of haven to suggest how we can never attain it nor reach it. In other words god can be understood by human logic and is therefore understandable but some of his words are deeply illogical and nonsensical. So there are always more questions to answer so never stop looking for them.
*Romans 8 :28* "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
I have no purpose
@@johnnyyuma9802 you may not be able to see it, but you most definitely do!
@@janitakanu7680 it's too late. I'm too old and fed up. I have given up on him because he hates me. I know what my purpose once was. He just chose to keep me from it. No purpose at all
@@johnnyyuma9802 First, we must remember Our Father is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He loves us so much that He allowed His innocent and Holy Son to be _mocked,_ _tortured,_ and _murdered_ for the salvation of His children. Who better than The One who *created you* and knows all the hairs on your head, would know how to heal your brokenness? Jesus says *"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."* (Matthew 11:28) He is the Healer, the Comforter, the Prince of Peace.
I don’t know what you're struggling with now so I can't speak to your situation. But we can see through the gospel that He never forsakes those who have faith in Him and follow Him. EVEN when it may seem like He's abandoned us. One thing we often forget is that following Him means going through some challenges, especially in a God-hating world. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Don't quit the race, and don't let the enemy win!
In the life of a follower, trials can signify different things; "the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastens everyone He accepts as His son." (Hebrews 12:6) Sometimes there are sins we need to repent for, sometimes He is taking us through trials to strengthen our relationship with Him, and sometimes He is building our faith through patience.
There's so much to learn about God and His purpose in your life, I couldn't possibly know it all (or summarize it in a RUclips comment if I did). Please ask God, *the Alpha and the Omega,* who is outside of time, and whose ways are higher than your ways, and whose thoughts are higher than yours, what He is trying to reveal to you? What does your life look like through His eyes?
I pray this trial strengthens your faith, and works together with all other things in your life, for your good! 🙏🏼❤ *"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)*
@@janitakanu7680 37 years, dear.. He had me all that time. Strengthens my faith? After all this time you would think he would cut the shit... But no.. I won't give it to a being that did me like he did. You're preaching to the choir. I wake up every day wishing I were dead.. Why? Because he gave me no purpose. I'm done praying to him, I'm done with lessons and crap that I don't deserve and I'm done with giving myself to him when he never gives it back... I don't thank him anymore. He took and took and took. No matter how I lived. His Devine plan is to make me suffer.. You speak of patience? I've been patient for 13 years. I've been patient since 30 when I looked up and said I was ready.. That's hate to play with someone like that. And he will receive the same in return. I'm going to go back to drinking and drink myself to death... 37 is too late and I refuse to live his plan when it's my life and what I work for....... That's hate to not allow a good person who was nothing but loving,faithful and trusting. Hate. As for him being near to the brokenhearted? He was never there for me
I had really bad news yesterday. I allowed myself a few tears. But this morning I’m singing songs of praise. Because I’m here. And God loves me. There is nothing that can separate me from Gods love.
I am reading the book of Job right now. Watching this makes me cry.
Yes god made him suffer for no reason
KKBOSS MClovein have you read and fully understood it? It’s a beautiful story. May you always be blessed!
Yes, this makes me cry too. So moving.
Nadia Shami apparently not
@@crowned2088 he did it for a reason
