Job 15-21 (debate round 2)

job

One of the mistakes that Job's friends are making are that they are trying to explain something that they, or Job, can't really understand - why isJob suffering.

When people are suffering and crying out to God asking why, I hope I don't follow Bildad's example and start a theological debate. There are some things we can't explain about why God does or doesn't do something and that's alright. He wouldn't be much of a God if humans could get Him all worked out. We might not understand, but we know He's in control and He knows what's best for us far better than we do.
