It was Job 3:16

however, Ethan Hunt exposed Max as the Arms Dealer, and Jim Phelps turned out to be the bad guy

which pissed off a lot of fans

Keyword Story

I don't read fiction.

Honestly, I just googled "that story where God kills some good dude's family to test his faith or something like that" and the first result was the wikipedia page on the Book of Job.

Hahahah dammit. Job was my other thought but a concise keyword search was ambiguous. I didn't really spend any time on it. I should have known I'd have gotten a quicker answer if I had googled like a 15-year-old pregnant dropout

My encyclopedic knowledge of this magazine has won me countless arguments against self professed "Christians"

It's funny because Abraham is probably the most opposite of the correct answer:

"That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;"

^ Actually, it's not that far off... One of the ways Gd tested Abraham was by instructing him to sacrifice Isaac, but after proving his faith, his son was spared.

I'm glad that God was willing to ruin that kid's childhood for a shortlived ego boost.
