Job never got God to appear before him.  God just came to him

Man created god. In our own image. And wrote the bible as well.

The problem is, you are assuming in your "if there is a God" case that you know what to do to "serve" Him.  But you don't have any basis to know that.  If you are talking about some generic God, there are infinitely many possibilities for how to "serve" Him (assuming He even needs serving).  On the other hand, if you are postulating a very specific God that you have heard about from other people or a book, then you have created a false dichotomy; there aren't just two possibilities (no God versus the God of the Bible), but rather infinitely many (God of the Bible, God of the Koran, God of a book that no one wrote yet, etc.).  So if you "serve" one of them (whatever that means), you are neglecting to serve others.\n\nSo we are back to figuring out what you believe, and going with that.  I guess if you believe in no God, you could still pick one of the infinitely many possibilities of God to "serve," but that seems awfully arbitrary, and your odds of guessing right seem so infinitesimally small that it seems hardly worth the random guess.

Nothing magically appeared. God created it. Magic is using illusion to mimic powers such as those that only God has....

Great question.\n\nIf we are taught to pray to God the Father, then how are we to spend time getting to know Jesus?\n\nTo answer this question, I would like to spend some time looking at how we communicate with the Father. We’ll start here in John 1:1,14. Here we read, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The Word who was with God and who was God is Jesus Christ. He is the one who became flesh and dwelt among us. When the passage here in John 1:1 says the Word was with God, it is speaking of God the Father. It’s saying that the Son of God was with the Father in eternity and was there “in the beginning” when God the Father chose to make the world. In fact it was through his Son, that the Father would choose to bring all things into existence. We see this explained further in Colossians 1:15-17 where Paul says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” God created the world, and he created the world through the Word, His Son – the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that God has chosen to create the world and bring things into existence through his Son is all over the Bible. Take for instance John 1:2-3. The apostle John, speaking of Christ, says, “He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” Jesus Christ is the creator of the world, and as we are reminded of in John 1:1, not only was he with God the Father but he also was deity himself. That’s what it means when it says that the Word was with God, and the Word was God. It means that the Word was with God the Father and was himself deity. I say all of this to bring us back to John 1:14, where we started. It says, “And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The glory of God is what is being spoken of here, and that glory has been displayed where? In the Son of the Father – in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. John then goes on to say in verse 16, “And from his fullness (the fullness of Christ) we have all received grace upon grace.” So we all receive grace from Christ, the Son of the Father. For as John will go on to say in verse 17, “the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” So already we see here that Jesus is the one whom not only displays the glory of God the Father, but also is the one who we receive grace and truth from. If we want to see the glory of God, if we want grace and truth, then we go to Jesus. Jesus is our “Go-To” guy. He is the one we go to for these things. John instructs us more on this relationship that we are to have with the Father’s Son in John 1:18. He says, “No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.” The short answer to your question would be this: When we pray to God the Father, we do not pray apart from His Son. It is in His Son – the Lord Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus is the one who has made the Father known. So if we want to get to know the Son more, what do we do? We spend time with his Father. That doesn’t make much sense does it? Oh but it does! You see the only way we can spend time with the Father is by spending time with his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. For it is through Jesus and only through Jesus that we can even know the Father. This is why Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes

This is a question for the great and powerful Rev Trask! A Baptist minister doing Gods work , however I would believe Mainworry first, I think.

F, because God (probably) doesn't exist, but if he did, then it would be E.  Some people say it was Satan, but the thing is everything Satan does he has to get the O.K. from God first (as seen in the story of Job)  It'd be kind of like how even though the Godfather doesn't kill the people in the Maffia, he does order the deaths.

In one way, Bible is God's letter of introduction. He described His character through the Bible so that people may know Him. I don't think that He would allow His character to be misrepresented by wrong translations, cause it is His character we, people, can rely on (among other things). If God is omnipotent, I am sure He could and can find a way to prevent some catastrophic errors to appear in the Bible which would lead its readers into wrong assumptions and beliefs.

If you look in Genesis chapter one you will see that it was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. \n\nGod said, "The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface."\nand"26 Then God said, "Let US make people F2 in our image, to be like ourselves." \n\nThen look at John 1\n\n1 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. 4 Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. \n\nGod is one person with three personalities. So yes the three personalities that you mentioned were there. Hope this helps!

Or another way to ask your question, what CAUSED God?  Only things that have a beginning require a cause to get started.  Seeing God had no beginning, he did not require anything to cause Him to be.  I think He said it best when He said, "I am".

Job prayed for a better life too, but he was withheld such glories for a time so that God would be glorified in His battles.\n\nIt's not about you!  (It's not about me, either)

it's John 1:1-2 that states "In the Beginning was the Word(Jesus) and the Word(Jesus)was with God and the Word(Jesus) was God." verse 2 says " He was in the beginning with God." so you see He was. And also think on Adam and Eve, since no man can look upon God, how then did they walk with Him? Jesus is the visible form of God that humans CAN look upon! Also seek in the old testament when it speaks of "The Angel of the Lord" you will see when the A is capitalized that the people see Him as a Deity, I believe it's Jesus, given all the studying I've done on the subject. Sampson's parents even made a sacrifice to Him, and He left them as He went up in the smoke of the sacrifice(as Jesus is The Sacrifice)!!! I hoipe this confirms this to you and God bless you.

What are you talking about? which god with a little "g" do you serve that would do such a thing? Not the God of all Glory and Creation, Jesus Christ!

I quote:\n"A great diversity of opinion exists as to the authorship of this book. Two Talmudic traditions hold that Job either lived in the time of Abraham or of Jacob. Levi ben Laḥma held that Job lived in the time of Moses, by whom the Book of Job was written. Others argue that it was written by Job himself, or by Elihu, or Isaiah. From internal evidence, such as the similarity of sentiment and language to those in the Psalms and Proverbs (see Psalms 88 and 89), the prevalence of the idea of "wisdom," and the style and character of the composition, it is supposed by some to have been written in the time of King David and King Solomon. Some, however place it in around the time of the Babylonian exile. Talmudic tradition treats the story of Job as a parable."\n\nThere is a good discussion of this at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job

Before God created the physical universe--none existed.  Only the Spiritual world--a different level of existence.  God has always existed and always will.  That is beyond our ability to truly comprehend.   However, if He could be so easily understood He would not be God.\n\nWhen people try to bring God down to a human level and put Him on par with the physical universe, you wind up with stupid cults like the Mormons.

You have to understand first that we are not on the same realm as God.  God is higher than us.  His ways and his thought are higher than ours.  We should never question anything that God has done\n\nAs for where God came from...God has always been.  It is hard for us to imagine this because we think only as humans.  To us,  there is a beginning and an ending to all things.  Not to God.  God always has been and always will be.
