[TBC: Here is another Atheist accusation of contradiction in the Bible]:

"A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD..." -- Proverbs:12:2

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause." -- Job:2:3

[TBC: The individual who "crafted" this contradiction is happy to give only the faintest portion of the story of Job. He must do so, otherwise the shambles of his argument collapses. Again, he is counting on the biblical illiteracy of Christians to make his point.

To be precise, we know from reading the book of Job that the "LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

So Job died, being old and full of days" (Job:42:12-17).]
