@Neoblack,
Please re-read the story and you will notice that its SATAN who wanted to prove that Job was not faithful. God was already satisfied and knew Job's stand.
Satan said .....But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.... AND ....But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.....". WHO IS TRYING TO PROVE WHAT??
It would help to read.
