Benarkah Dosa Menjadi Penyebab Kesengsaraan Ayub?

Abstract

ABSTRACT
 The goal of this article is to criticize the views of the three friends of Job who regarded Job's suffering caused by his crimes. They insisted that Job confess his sins to restore by God. By using the method of literature studied the author tried to answer this problem in biblically theologically. From this study the author found out the fact that God Himself proved the opposite truth. That Satan was a liar because he thought Job would curse towards God if Job was impoverished and made miserable. In other words, Job's suffering was not related to his personal sin or crimes as his trio friends said before. Through his suffering, the truth was revealed that Job was increasingly immersed in a harmonious relationship with God even though he was like a man who was choked through his misery. But in the end God the Creator glorified in Job's life (chapter 42 proves it). And it was revealed that Job's suffering was not related to his sins, but because God would be delighted in his life.
