Antichristian2:
Job's Trials:
Job's story is one of unparalleled suffering. Satan, with God's permission, unleashes a series of devastating events upon Job: the loss of his possessions, his children, and finally, his health. These trials are not presented as a consequence of Job's sin, but rather as a test of his faith. Throughout, Job wrestles with his suffering, questioning God's justice and the meaning of his pain. Yet, he ultimately maintains his integrity, refusing to curse God despite his immense loss.

How do we compare Jesus's temtation by Satan?

To turn stone into bread!
To throw himself from the Temple top!
To bow down and worship him!

How about Satan killing Mary, Joseph and all Jesus's family for the start? These temptation and trials no fair o!

Gabrielshow24:
Temtation nko, Tentation 😅 ni.

Well, they have different circumstances.
Jesus came to deliver man by laying down his life while job was being tested for his faithfulness.

Irrespective, all Jesus' temptations meant he was to go against God—the same aim for Job's temptation. In summary, same principle; different method employed by Satan!

Kobojunkie:
What exactly is the reason behind wanting to compare the experiences of both individuals? Are any of the experiences of any two men in all of the books of Israelite Scripture the same?

Antichristian2:
✓ I think both were righteous men! Why can't they be compared?
✓ Moses was compared to Jesus!. Elijah with John!
When hasn't People being compared in the Bible?

Kobojunkie:
Abraham , Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David and even Solomon were also righteous men but I don't see you comparing Job to any one of them in this.

3. Moses was not compared to Jesus Christ on grounds of them both being righteous but on different grounds.. they each brought YHWH's Law to the people of Israel. Elijah was compared to John in order to draw focus to the connection that existed between the two men -- they were one and the same beings. Clearly, the book does something entirely different from what you assert, it seems.

Antichristian2:
So Satan no fit ask God to kill Jesus's family? Na just simple test he give am?

How's that fair?

Antichristian2:
Of course Abraham had to go kill his son!

Why can't Jesus be tested with his family instead of petty turn stone to bread?

That Jesus's temptation is watery and petty!
Jesus had everything setup for him unlike Job, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Jonah, etc who where tried with life threatening situations!

Forget it.

Gabrielshow24:
You seem to forget the plethora of instances where His life was threatened 🤨.

Gabrielshow24:
Will it be answered? 🤨 Are you really unable to see that Satan acted within the limits of what was permitted to him? The things he had power over were precisely what he used to tempt Jesus, all centered around God. 🤨

Furthermore, no sane person compares apples and oranges 🤔 when it’s so obvious that they are fundamentally different. 🤨

Antichristian2:
Whose life was threatened?
And how was his life threatened?
When was his life threatened?

Jesus had a stable life from 0-30 years!

Only three years was a little bumpy till 33.

Antichristian2:
Same God according the Bible that created calamity created prosperity!

He can use any of them to test anyone!

Jesus was hungry many times! He had the power to curse the fig tree to wither but not stone to bread? Nollywood!

Jesus was compared to Moses by Matthew or so! How was Jesus's temptation like Moses's?

Kobojunkie:
Abraham NEVER killed his son;let's not fudge stories please.

2. Why should He have been tested exactly the same way as, say Moses or Solomon or David was?

3. The same should also be said of the numerous other righteous men who were not tested exactly as Job was, right? I mean since you are one to approve the test and not YHWH Himself, the one who did the approving, abi?

4. By the way, Abraham was approved Righteous not when he made the decision kill Isaac but rather long before that -- when he left his father's religion to obey God instead. (Abraham's approval came long before even Ishmael was born to him.) Moses had been approved righteous by YHWH probably before he approached the burning bush. Jesus Christ had been approved righteous probably before or around the time of His baptism, before was eventually tested by the devil in the wilderness, not afterwards. If you had spent time reading the book, you would have seen where YHWH emphasized that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous meaning He only answers after He has first approved one righteous.

delkuf:
what is killing the family of Jesus has to do with what Jesus went through.

They didn't kill the family of Jesus but they killed him. Jesus himself went through the pains and temptation that comes with dying on the cross unlike job that it was his children that died.

Antichristian2:
That's not a trial nor temptation! John too was beheaded! And many others too!

Look at Jacob losing two of his sons!
Look at Joseph being separated from his family for decades being sold to slavery!

To be focused, I was even comparing Satan's temptation of Jesus with that of Job!

Job was a great man!

delkuf:
you are still in this temptation thing my brother. The devil tempting the Lord Jesus not defeat Jesus but because the scripture should be fulfilled. Even if the devil killed the mother and father of Jesus, Jesus would have still stand and wouldn't have given in into the temptation because the greatest temptation of all is when the Lord Jesus was hung on the cross. The pains he went through. The spitting and the slapping but Jesus didn't fall. He stood. There is no temptation greater than this. If Jesus could stand the cross, he could stand every other temptation.

Accept this and have peace

Antichristian2:
✓ I never said he killed him. He attempted to.
I don't mean exactly in the same way. But just some much tangible that turning stone to bread! Those Jesus's trials are watery!
Once again, it shouldn't be exactly the same. Trials like that of Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, Moses, etc.
I never talked of approval and I don't see how that's related here! Abraham left his polytheistic family to pursue the true path! Abraham was a strict monotheist not a trinitarian!

Antichristian2:
So John the Baptist's imprisonment and beheading was a greater test then!
Anyways, i still hold that Jesus wasn't tested like others!

Job and others sufferred for many years!

Kobojunkie:
A trial suggests sort of evaluation was carried out hence an approval/grading necessary at the end, but this does not seem to be in line with what is in fact written in the book of Israelite Scripture.

Job was already declared righteous by YHWH in chapter 1 of the book before this supposed trial. Jesus Christ of Israel had already been proclaimed righteous before His very baptism took place. So what is the essence of comparing one of Job's many temptations to one of Jesus Christ of Israel's many temptations?

Temptation happens to all men and to varying degrees throughout their lifetime.

delkuf:
why are you still holding. You see my brother this is what the devil wants you to be against because he doesn't want you to be save.

You are good with the Bible. Personally I have never met a Muslim that is good with the Bible like you. Stop holding and accept it.
You are fighting on the wrong side. If only you could just accept the truth of God's word.

Antichristian2:
✓ I agree that human's temptations vary!
The harder your temptations and trials the more the level of such person in God's sight!
✓ Comparing Jesus's and Job's trials, Jesus's trials from Satan still remains subpar sha!

Antichristian2:
Have you been eating with the devil to know this!
I grew up reading the Bible and learning its history... I am on the right! God has no son! God needs no son to help him! God is one not three!

delkuf:
it is only the devil that will make you kick against anything Jesus.

What is remaining for you is just whole heartily believe the Lord Jesus. If you right with God you will believe on the one whom he sent.
Jesus didn't to help God. He came to save mankind.

Kobojunkie:
That is a definite lie! Rather, you, like over 97% of the religiously inclined grew up consuming religious doctrines -- narratives structured by other men-- voraciously. That explains why almost all of your every processing of content linked to the books contained in the compendium remains aligned with the religious narratives out there and not the facts as stated in the books themselves.

I suggest you banish the thought that your particular religious delusion is in some way superior of better than the religious delusions traded by the religion of Christianity which came before the religion of Islam as they were both founded on lies.

Antichristian2:
➜The religion of Christianity does not exist! Only Islam exist from the time of Noah! Saying Christianity exists before Islam is the lie!

Kobojunkie:
There is no truth to this in Israelite Scripture; this particular idea was crafted by your religious overlords for your sakes, I believe.

2. When it comes to Israelite Scripture, such comparisons hold no meaning.

Antichristian2:
➜So Job's temptation is not different from Jesus?
➜Of course it doesn't to you! Anything goes so far its for Jesus! Jesus had it cool for himself biblically!

Kobojunkie:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 See wetin religion don do person head abeg!

So, the enterprise called "Christianity" does not exist because the other corporate enterprise called "Islam" would rather, against the very will of all, claim the entire religious space for itself? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
