[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]God does not bring you misery,[/b] so he most certainly is not going to give you 'just enough' of it 
I hate that saying.
I think it is most often a perversion (for lack of a better word ) of 2 Corinthians 12:9 
9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

Tell that to Job.[/quote]

1) God allowed Satan to do that -- God did not do it

2) That was the old Testament -- when we were under the curse -- After Christ - we are under the Blood
    that was why Christ was sent. 
    God says 'never to turn my face to you in wrath again[/quote]

Jewish Person here.  Could you identify what part of the "Old Testament" (specifically where it says) "we" were under a curse?  Thank you.  Because I have read the "Old Testament" many times and I have never seen any such thing said there.

Also, [b]I have never read that God "allowed" Satan to do things to Job (or[/b][u] Noah, or Moses, or anyone else) or that Satan played any role in their travails.  That's utter nonsense, made up by you.[/quote]

Job 1:6-12
New International Version (NIV)
6 One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.[/quote]
