How far in the Bible do you have to go in history to find the book of Job?

It's like if you're trying to sell this epistemically satisfying version of Christianity on a shelf,

you're not going to put the book of Job at the beginning of world history.

I mean, so part of Christianity is that it has this just plain and utter difficulty.

And the book of Job, he's asking, why? Where's the cause of all this? You realize, yeah, he must

have been feeling what I'm feeling intellectually and physically and

and yet god comes and and doesn't say oh this is how i've mechanically worked it out so that

there's suffering no he just says who am i eric eric hey down i'm doing well how are you i'm Eric.

I'm doing well.

How are you?

I'm very well.

Yeah.

Good to have you.

Am I too high for him?

Josiah?

It's up to you.

There we go.

Is that better?

Yeah.

Now we're level.

This is so nice to have you.

You know, it's funny, we've been recording these in batches all week.
