>>119701607You have quite a misconception of God
The "all love, all kindness" God is an invention of late Christianity. God is at its core, something incomprehensible and all-powerful in the monotheistic core philosophies. If he can fuck your shit up, he can, and since He's omnipotent, He can make it so it's good and fair.
Quite a lot of people have a problem with that, so it was made into "God's mysterious plan" instead of "You're God's creation, therefore is His Right to do whatever he wants to make of you", whether is a lesson for other people or to flex His powers.
How this reconciles with free will and redemption is a whole other can of beans, but the God in the Book of Job was never meant to be all-loving and all-forgiving.
