My thinking on that is that God is God. We don’t get to choose what sort of god God will be. He is Who He is. As for us humans, we tend to view everything from our own perspective, as if God exists for us rather than us existing for God. My belief is that God created us for His pleasure, not so much ours. Our pleasure should come in worshiping Him— not because He forces us to, but of our own free will. When we begin to realize this, at least this has been my experience, our lives become more centered and peaceful. Just my 2 cents— worth what you paid for it...
Very good analysis of the passage NC. Incidentally, Job is one of my favorite books of the Bible and that passage is especially powerful.
