I would think so.

Do we really think that Satan, after destroying all of Jobs life thus far, would not somehow try to use Job’s friends and their speeches to get to Job? Of course he would—and still does.

Wow. I never thought of it exactly that way. Would you go so far as to say Christians are used by God in this way with other Christians? It certainly seems so to me. There is a thread on my blog where “friends” type people came out of the woodwork.

I haven’t read it yet, but I really want too. I wrote a paper on the problem of evil that used the basic idea of this post as its thesis (“asking the wrong questions, Bible points us to what God is doing about suffering”) which I actually got from N. T. Wright in an online debate with Bart Ehrman, so I’m assuming that that thought is part of his argument in that book.
