Rejecting what contradicts your beliefs In an ideal world, rational people who encounter new evidence that contradicts their beliefs would evaluate the facts and change their views accordingly. But that’s generally not how things go in the real world. Partly to blame is a cognitive bias that...

Job 9:13, Job 14:13, Job 16:9, Job 19:11,

God qualifies his statement in Job 42:7 with the words "of me", meaning God. You have a legitimate argument, whether God was talking about what they said, or didn't say. But who the speech, or lack of speech, was directed at you don't. You need to identify what the three friends said about God...

In the translation from Hebrew to English some understanding has been lost. Satan did not say Job would curse God. Satan said Job would not bless God. In Job 1:11 Satan said Job will "barak" "lo" you. "barak" always means to bless and "lo" means not. It reads "bless not" you. After the first...

I have given you a number of the verses. If I was to go back it would start in chapter three. Job 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

If you were able to accept that Elihu is God's prosecuting attorney, you wouldn't be asking.

Salvation. Consider what Elihu has already taught Job in the 33 Chapter. In Job 33:15 Elihu tells Job that God speaks to man through dreams and visions in the night. Job had already stated that God had terrified him through visions in the night. (Job 7:14) The purpose of the dreams was to keep...

Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. In Job 9:17 Job calls God unjust. Job 9:22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the...

There is no discrepancy. Job 38:1-2 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Job 40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let...

There is no discrepancy. Job 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Elihu’s wrath was kindled, because the three friends had not found the answer. The answer was that Job had to repent and put on God’s...

It states Elihu was angry with Job, and with the three friends. That equates to two times. Consider that God was angry with Job eight times, according to Job. Was Job receptive to God’s anger? You would think not, since Job said, God would laugh at the trial of the innocent. If Elihu was...

Christopher everything you are saying in this post is directly related to the trustworthiness of the Bible. Are you saying the lies of Satan are within the pages of the Bible. If that were to be true, we could not trust the Bible. You are comparing one sentence of Goliath to six chapters. We...

Elihu said, Job 33:6 "I am according to your wish in God's place." Job 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. Job 36:4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Elihu words are either true, or they are...

Christopher Greetings, REGARDING ELIHU In order to vindicate Job you must sacrifice the integrity of the bible. You have to say God gave a man six chapters of God’s book to tell lies. Would you make God the author of lies just to justify Job? In what other book of the bible do we see such...

Elihu and God -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compare these verses carefully. Elihu said, “Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.” Job 34:35 Elihu said, “Therefore doth Job...

The consensus is that the three friends lied, but more importantly that Elihu lied. Elihu had six chapters of the book, and if he lied throughout, as some say he did, then how are we to trust any book in the Bible?

Vassal greetings, You have stated the narrative of a consensus on the book of Job, but the book goes much deeper. If you must choose who was right, Job or God, God wins every time. I know of no other book in the bible that is full of lies, how is it that we can say that about the book of Job...

One thing that is very interesting about the Septuagint. The one group of people that you would assume would be using the Septuagint should be the Greek Orthodox Church in Greece. Approximately 85% of Greece identifies as Greek Orthodox as of 2022. This is where the chain of evidence for the...

I apologize for offending you. Very sorry.
