Job

[The Architect Of Fate]

Is it possible that an omnipotent being can come to conclusions which are alien to our own understanding?

Using unknowability as an excuse to not have an answer...Fail

It seems that most people here are more upset with God than Job is despite only reading of his suffering but having never experienced exactly what he went through.

He shouldn't have had to go through any period and there is simply no justification for it 

I knew this would be a difficult topic when I started it, and so far I am not disappointed by the response I've gotten. Ultimately you either trust God to do what he will with his creation or you don't, but I believe that an eternal reward is what makes all of this suffering truly worthwhile. Even if we lived in a fair world where the righteous prosper and those who do evil always get punished; what would any of our labor amount to if our destiny is dust? Our physical bodies are destined to return to this Earth at some point and nothing we build, save or work for is ever guaranteed to last forever. 

Life isn't about rewards and good and bad are not about rewards.

What amount of pain is worth eternal paradise? What perishing thing can I lose or gain that would deter me from pursuing that which can never perish? 

The idea that people need to suffer to have paradise in the first place (the concept of paradise itself an abhorrence ) is simply evil
