I've submitted a replacement for the original anime version of this scene: http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=40800

In that version, it seems that Job knows about the bet. In this version and in the Bible, well... actually, I'm just going to submit the relevant scene.

Says it got deleted for some copyright shenanigans, but yeah, I've only read the NIV version and Job does obviously not know about the plan. Job is one of the best parts of the Bible because it portrays how the Bible was probably edited, how the Bible almost becomes a legit philosophical text in some areas, and how God is basically worse than the "adversary" because God just uses Job in a pissing contest that "He" loses, and as a result just intimidates Job into submission before wrapping everything up by a cop-out to make us all feel good by giving everything back to Job and repudiating the people who couldn't convince Job God was worth serving. It's like a big "wtf?"

Getting to be white is one of the rewards black people get for going to heaven. DUH!

I just realized that a big chunk of the Old Testament occurs before Satan's heel turn: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the Flood all happened while Satan was an employee in good standing in JHVH Inc. That means there must have been a point at which Israelites were walking around minding their own business, when suddenly there was a war in heaven and then the Israelites started thinking "I'm gonna be a badass and bear false witness against my neighbor".

Or, it's a collection of stories complied from different times as the mythology changed.

Oh sure, I get that the Old Testament wasn't built as a unified account from start to finish; but for people who try to read it that way, it means that Satan must have fallen some time between Job and Jesus.

Hold on, wasn't Satan the snake in the Garden of Eden that tempted Eve?

Seriously, I'm as confused as you are. Who here has actually read that book?

Bort - 2015-09-30

The serpent is never identified as Satan in the Bible. Later readers have assumed that ALL the bad guys in the Bible must be Satan in different guises, but as I just realized, that doesn't hold up at all.

The Book of Enoch seems to be where the war in heaven occurs, but sadly the Book of Enoch is apocryphal. Also, Enoch becomes Metatron, the most inherently metal of angels.

Was reading up on Job, and this bit about him being "a righteous man". Job makes a case for his righteousness, and it almost sounds alien by typical Christian standards: Job helped the poor and the widows and the sick and the blind. Nowhere does Job make his case along the lines of "didn't watch gay porn" and "went to church instead of watching football".

Going to church is the most important part of being a Christian
