Why did God do Satan’s bidding?

[Greatest I am]

One of the rather simplistic lessons drawn from Job, often, is that we don't have the moral authority to condemn God or his actions. If this is the case, does it not also follow that we lack the moral authority to justify him? If his morals are indeed beyond the pale of our meager sensibilities, the appropriate conclusion would seem to be that we can't know, that we must remain agnostic on the question of whether the God we follow is moral or immoral. That leaves me with some profound difficulties in concluding that God's commandments are in and of themselves moral, if we are indeed ultimately unable to assess his morals. If all of the above follows, why follow God's mandates at all? Might as well get out the I Ching and decide the fate of prisoners with the random alignment of a throw of bones; unknowable is unknowable, for both good or ill.

Astute.

I get frustrated sometimes when I am told that I cannot judge God by people who have judged him good.

A Christian blind spot. One on many IMO.

You're right we are in no place to judge, which is why God tells us,
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ And ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:30-31)
Love is moral. Unloving is immoral.

You say we cannot judge God yet you judge that he should be loved.

Rather foolish that.

Did you judge your wife before deciding to love her?

Yes you did. So why change that good and intelligent methodology and practice and love one you have not judged?
