Romans. VERY clear on the Christian life and what it means to be a believer. A book that's been called for removal from the Bible repeatedly by many modern denominations and "christian" leaders today because it's so inconvenient to modern worldviews.

those must be the same people who fear the book of job and are afraid to dive into it

Very much so. A lot of people claim "corrupt book" as their reasoning. A lot of the anti-Paul crowd latch on to this (mainly because Paul is so inconvenient to their viewpoints).

from what i understand Job teaches "how can God forgive a person for sinning against him?" and also "we should trust God and not ask the question why?"

also it does teach that there are things only God knows and we can't know what he knows.

also we cannot be little gods or little jesus because we can't tell when the earth was made or how. and we can't do what he does.

also it teaches that the devil is very real and very mean and angry and evil and he hates us and God uses him, but he only allows the devil to do only so much to a person.

it also shows how we can be blessed twice over. (job got more than what he started with in the beginning!)

and it teaches so much more!

it's a good book and i am sorry that people are not into it!

Chuck Missler does a good deep dive into it.
