Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 23 2008,13:08)Hi 94, Sure. The challenge of Satan to God was that Job would curse God if not continually blessed.The accuser of the brethren is still allowed to sift the sons of God like wheat that they may become stronger, just as he was given permission to with Peter.In the OTZech3 1And he shewed me Joshua the high…[Read more]
