The Old Testiment and The Book of Job

The similarities and differences between the book of Job and the Old Testament can be endless. One of the main similarities of the two stories is that everyone fears God all the time. God is constantly testing people. But isn't God all knowing? Maybe, maybe not. If God was all knowing than why would he constantly be testing people? Why did God create humans in his image? God keeps testing people to prove their loyalty to him. God does that in The Old Testiment and The book of Job. In the Book of Job God is testing Job because he wants to prove to satan that Job will still be worshipping God even if he doesn't have all of th things that make him happy. In the Old Testiment God is testing everyone because he wants to know that everyone fears God and will worship him. Some other differences about the stories is that in The Book of Job God is torturing Job by taking away all of his loved items and in The Old Testiment God is punishing the humans because they did something wrong.
