I adamantly disagree with this assessment. I see how you are trying to tie these all together, but there are some major problems with... -
I have to ask: why can't you accept the premise that when this story begins, there is no particular sin in Job's life? Why do you have...

When Job says he broke the jaws of the wicked, I read that as him offering help to others in need. He was offering justice to the...

Question: if Elihu's statements are the same as God's (in word and in meaning), why does God affirm Job and not Elihu? God explicitly... -

-
Totally agree with you here.
