I was thinking of the story of Job last night. All my life I always focused on the story, the main theme. Job losses everything, gets sick, dialog's with friends, and finally God and him have a chat. But, look at the beginning of the story. Satan comes to God and asks God to remove protection from Job and He does. Why? Well, it is to make a point that Job will not leave God. Due to God removing protection, people are killed - Jobs whole family. They did nothing wrong, they may have been believers is God - but to make a point...they are allowed to be killed.
The question I have is this...are we pawns in the cosmic struggle between God and Satan? Look at Judas. Scripture hints that this was his destiny from the beginning - this is what he was born to do...a pawn without a choice?
And the last thing I will leave with you...if God allowed Satan to kill innocent people to make a point...was this not murder? Just a thought.
