Job, the first one who questioned God.

Job”, has introduced us one of the QUESTions that we learned at the beginning of the course, “why does injustice exist?” I saw this question from Job 7:20, “I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself.” According to the passage, Job was chosen to be tested, because GOD wanted to make sure that what Satan was saying was not true. In other words, injustice was born out of the doubtfulness of the GOD towards human beings. He wanted to test the humans and Job was chosen because that was who Satan mentioned to prove his point. But the direct cause of his sufferings is mostly because of the anxiety of God.
