Book Of Job

Really there is only one person that can answer that question. By Job not cursing God throughout his bickering of why this is being done to him, God wins the wager. Just think that if Job really did curse God that He would have just squashed Job to dirt. He would have not been happy if Job did curse him and He lost the wager.
             My second argument is based on the fact that why does God come down and talk to Job if apparently he has lost the wager. God would not come and talk to Job and try to educate him on why this was done to him. He tells Job to never question him, that who is he to question Him anyway. All Job needed was to see God and will never question God again. God educates Job in who is the stronger and more powerful. That he can do whatever he wants because He meaning the Lord created everything. So the Lord shows him how powerful He is. If you think that God would just educate Job just like that if he had cursed the Lord. The Lord would squash him like a bug and not think twice because He knows that He is the almighty and no one should question his authority. All of this was done to test and educate man, to see if one righteous man could do it right. Job of course did a good job if not he would have not survived the wrath of God if he had cursed him. The Lord questioned Job with things that he might not have known and educating him by telling him that who are you to question me. But the Lord is still not angry at Job, God is angry at the comforters. The Lord had to educate Job because no one else was educating him right and speaking right of the Lord.
             For the last argument if God wouldn't have won then why did God give everything back to Job twice as much as he had before. That will have to prove that God does win the wager by giving Job everything back because Job did not curse God. If he had cursed God then of course Job wouldn't get everything back. In the epilogue God is angry at Eliphaz and his two friends and not at Job.
