What happened to the former family that was taken away from him? Just replaced like a commodity? What's the "lesson" here that I'm missing?

The lesson of the book of Job is that (like certain atheists) the devil seeks destroy the faith of children of God, and to murder, yet regardless of who executes justice, sinners get less than what they deserve in this life, while the author of life certainly has the right to allow the innocent to die and deliver them to a better existence, while making the evil that the devil or man does work for the good of those who love good and thus God.

And that God is omniscient (unlike some atheists who basically make judgments as if they were), which involves going thru trials in proportion to one's faith, in which God knows the temperature of the fire, and in which things temporarily occur that are contrary to the blessings of God, but that for such, "as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation." "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;" (2 Corinthians 4:17)

And which the unreasonable scorn of atheists as yourself will not change.

His former family blotted out and replaced like a manufactured commodity, as if the past didn't matter.

"..blotted out" except his wife, who sounded like the atheist, but this life is temporary, and apart fro eternity it is unfair, and your objection is really that that the author of life can not be just in allowing the death of sinners or the innocent, and cannot be effecting what is best for the latter those like Job, as if He was not omniscient and you are, based upon your presumption of moral superiority."

# 21:

Sappy nonsense in the guise of comfort is more annoying than anything else. Then they’ll spout the Calvinist nonsense about a spirit in dwelling that is not by my choice.

For years you have been ridiculing faith in God on this officially pro-God forum, which i also see elsewhere from atheists who cannot allow any reasonable answers, or that there are any, but i will let others judge.

The anti-God nonsense is actually rather lightweight, once one develops some spiritual muscle. We can’t force the atheists and agnostics to believe, but we can present a spiritually powerful case for what we do believe. The onus is then on the nonbeliever to deal with that spirit.
