I thought your discussion in class was a good way for people to understand the Book of Job in a more modernized way, and I enjoyed it. I also think that God punished Job’s friends because they were acting like they were god like they knew what he was going to do and sort of speaking for god when they didn’t know nothing.

I agree with Alicia about the modernized way you presented the Book of Job.. The background music put a tone to each discussion especially “It Ends Tonight” and “What I’ve Done”. Good choices.

I wasn’t quite sure what the book of Job was about.
Your discuss was interesting and easy to understand. Moreover, the idea that using background music was useful.
It is hard to be faithful in God despite you lose everything which is important and precious to you.
Life is harsh. We all suffer from some reasons. However, we don’t need to blame anybody.

God’s anger at Job’s three friends stemmed from their preaching of a fallacious theology. Their argument that God punishes only the wicked is false, as God later stated that Job his servant spoke correctly.
This is further evidenced when God rebuked and then commanded three of Job’s friends – Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar – to bring sacrificial offerings.
Elihu, who was the only friend to correctly justify God’s actions by saying that God does indeed punish both the wicked and the seemingly innocent but we just can’t comprehend his rationale, was notably excluded from God’s reprimand, implying that God approved of his explanation.
Great presentation, by the way.
