Remember All God did was lift the protection Job had under him. It was Satan who decided to kill Job's family and take everything he had and strike him down with sores... Satan did not have to go that way. In the beginning of the story Satan points out that Job only followed God because God gave Him so much.. If Satan believed that Job could be bought why did he take everything away?
Looks like you are guilty of not thinking things through dry sand.. again.
The stories about Job, Abraham, and Jesus are similar. Job held fast to his faith in spite of his troubles. Abraham got faith because he was bribed with promises of wealth and personal fame. Jesus refused to be bribed and he suffered troubles as a result. All of the stories involving the major biblical characters follow one of these three themes.
Uh, no. You need to read the bit as to why Abram found favor with God in the first place. If Job was bribed then why did he remain faithful after his bribes were taken away?
The only theme here is an obvious failing at Sunday school theology.
