The three friends said, Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Job said, Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Elihu said, Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right...

Positive way. Job did not know to be just with God. Job 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If Job was saved he would already be just. Job didn't know who, or where God was. Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of...

So you are saying an alligator beholds all high things, like when God met with his angels. And this alligator is king over all the children of pride. It would appear you agree that Job was striving with God, because Job confessed he was vile. That would also mean that Isaiah 45:9 applices to...

Jas 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Job was very patient. If I had lost all my children, I don’t know that I would still have been reaching out to God...

Job 41:30 is a picture of Job, the potsherd, being threshed into the miry clay(or pit) by Satan(leviathan). Job 41:30 Sharp H2303 stones H2789 are under him: H8478 he spreadeth H7502 sharp pointed things H2742 upon H5921 the mire. H2916 Can you take a few minutes away from being the guardian...

Why did God toss Job to Satan? God knew Job would lose everything including his children. Why did God toss Job to Satan a second time?

It would appear to me that anytime Job says something that doesn't fit the narrative you deny it. Even if God is saying it. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall...

Yes there were two attacks by Satan, but it was God that presented Job to Satan knowing exactly what would happen. Are you of the opinion that God didn't have a purpose in what you call attacks by Satan, and what I call tests, or trials, by God.

I can understand your skepticism, because what I am saying is different from what you have ever heard about Job. Our opinions get cemented in stone. Have you wondered why the two tests are word for word except for where there was an actual difference. If the translators had used the actual...

You say I am inventing secret motives of Job's heart. Eliphaz did the exact same thing. Job 15:12-14 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth? What is man, that he should be clean...

Your rationalization would be correct if it was just man that was involved here, but it isn't. A man would not know Job's heart, but God does. God knew Job would pass the first test, and God knew Job would fail the second test. God knew what it would take to get Job's attention. The first test...

Is Satan just a snake? Genesis 3. How does a fish behold all high things. If you accept that the serpent in the garden was Satan then how do you deny Leviathan the crooked serpent. Are these not metaphors? Satan was beholding all high things in the beginning of the book of Job. Job 26:13 By...

I don't believe you have been discussing the second test. I haven't heard whether you agreed that there were two tests, or whether there were not two tests.

You are not considering the two tests. The tests were different and the results were different. The suffering in the first test was without cause. Satan said Job would not bless God, but Job did bless God after the first test. In the second test Satan again said Job would not bless God, but...

I believe it was for cause that Job suffered. Job's pride was in his own righteousness, and you only have to read the 29th chapter to see it. Job's righteousness far exceeded anyone else's. We see that in the fact that he lost everything including his children and passed the first test. It took...
