Does GOD Test Humans?

Why do African-American people relate so much to the biblical character JOB? Why would God make a bet with Satan to kill JOBS children, servants and animals just to test him? Why would God Make a bet with the devil to give JOB a terrible cancer of the skin just to see what JOB would say? Was it really GOD who was bringing all the calamities on JOB or could it have been a more diabolical figure ACTING as God? Today we analyze the book of JOB to see what benefits suffering has for the human spirit. We ask the question: Does God test humans? I encourage your calls and debate.
