at my child Job. Go ahead and test him. Wasn't satan bound to hell before that, and if so, why would God and he just be sitting around chatting and decide to attack one of his most devout people? I am a Christian and my own reasons for asking, but I wanted to see what is said, especially from people that say the Bible does not contradict itself. Also, if you want to comment on two other subjects I welcome these: If one of the several deadly sins is Jealousy, why did God choose as a commandment that; "I am a jealous God and you will have no others before you"? Why is there two seperate creations listed in Genesis? There, that should cause enough trouble for now.

Too many questions jumbled in one. Let me pull one out... the one about Job and Satan.
First of all Satan was never in hell. Hell is merely mankind's common grave (you can email me privately if you want to discuss that further). The beginning of Job clearly shows that Satan still had access to Jehovah God and the other angels at that time. It is the reason for the battle in heaven that is recorded at Revelation chapter 12 where he and his demon friends are ousted from the heaven to the vicinity of the earth.
OK a second one: Jealousy - There are different kinds. Remember, jealousy can involve wanting what someone else has. It's closely tied to covetousness. It's not about being protective of what belongs to you in a good way. I hope that explains things a litle bit for you. No trouble at all. :)

1) They weren't just "sitting around." If you read Job Chapters 1 and 2, you'll see that Satan went to God and stirred up trouble. Satan still has access to Heaven; that will change near the end of the Tribulation.
2) The Catholic Church has a list of pseudo-deadly sins which are not from the Bible; jealousy is one of them. Here's the actual list from the Bible:
Proverbs 6
16 These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

Satan was never bound to hell, he and the rebel angels were cast to earth not hell, ( common misconception); ) the has no contradictions that I' am aware of, when they were first putting the book togather from smaller books they edited the parts that contradict, as for there being to creations stories thats because adam and eve weren't created on earth they were created in paradise" the garden of eden" the other creation was on earth look more carefully, as for the jealousy thing god never says that being jealous is bad, you must have envy and jealousy confused. still no contradictions you'll have to try harder than that ; )

First, satan was sent to hell because he disagreed with God over free will. Second God can call on anyone or anything even satan. God is a spirit and thus not bound by sin even jealousy. Just my guess.

I read your qustion twice and I gotta tell you. I do not have a clue what you are asking.
The Jealous used does not mean inter-personal jealousy. Means that he insists He is the only God
Here are two more things to think about.
There are two flood stories........and my favorite...
Exactly where did Mrs. Cain come from. Seems to me that when Cain killed Abel, he killed twenty five percent of the world's population.....so where did she come from?

Don't be fooled......
The Bible contains NO contradictions......zero......kaput.....

Scripture is inspired by God.....not man.....and God does NOT make mistakes.
And there are not 2 creation stories.......one is a summary.....the other is the timeline

its all a bit of a mindf*ck really, the bible was written by so many different people that consistancy is limited.
you're better off reading paradise lost.
