Bildad was saying "IFs and MAYBEs"... IF your children sinned, then MAYBE God destroyed them... IF you will seek God and beg, IF you are pure and upright, then MAYBE God will restore you and your habitation.... WELL! Who is Bildad to assume things of God?! How can he dare?! Sometimes we got to back off and let Him be the Judge! Just shut your fleshy mouth when you don't know the answers!
Job had a strong response again (ch 9)! He told Bildad that "God destroys both the blameless and the wicked" and that there shall be "no arbiter between us who might lay his hand on us both"... So what's the solution? The solution is that WE ARE ALL SINNERS period and that ONLY GOD can JUDGE us! Arbiter means a person is being empowered to judge. Job said "NO ARBITER"... means no one can on the earth can be the judge for only God is a Judge.
We got to dump those IFs and MAYBEs into the toliet and learn to love each other and let God be the Judge, otherwise we would be like an obstacle to Him when we tried to judge ourselves. PERILOUS! A verge of spiritual suicide! I love Job's example, he sacrifice the offers for all of his children daily- it shows that he doesn't judge who sin, but forgive them daily without knowing the sins! We should be like Job!
How can we avoid being a judge? We got to be like Job, to die to our selves. Job said that life has no hope (ch 7), which is true! We got to have no hope in our lives, but to have hope in Him. To die to our selves and to be alive in Him! Yeah that's the definition of our friendship with Jesus!
