You probably shouldn't confuse the parts of magic book that you believe in, and the interpretations of those parts that you believe in, with what is and isn't "taught in scripture". There's really nothing that you could say about those items that others believe in that some other can't or doesn't also and equally say of your own items.
From the outside looking in, you all have to be given broad leeway, since there is no such thing as a christian monolith, either in practice, or exegesis.
You don't contend with the sorts of things that you don't believe in...because you don't believe in them. Not because they're not there. I would find it much more surprising if a person did include, in their beliefs, things they have trouble believing. I've yet to meet a christian that doesn't draw the line somewhere. This immediately begs a question..if job is problematic for you. Why not ditch it? You ditched hell, after all.
