I do not disagree with the other Scripture references you provided, nor would I want to. Still, I did not see any response to the question: if you're accusing Job of self-righteousness, why does God call him blameless (twice)? How does that comport? The same way Paul declared himself blameless...

Can you not see how Job parallels Israel? Most Orthodox Jews have been required to quote scripture from a youth up. They can spew theological gravy better than anyone, yet they are not saved. Jesus called them whited sepulchers. God did not say Job was one of the most godliest people. God said...

In the big picture I agree with you, but it appears you are simply pouring theological gravy over this story. Yes, Jesus is ultimately our righteousness, but you must know that before Christ Jesus became a man on earth and died on the Cross that sacrifices were required for sin. They do not...

If we apply NT principles then Job's faith has to be in God's righteousness, but we can clearly see that it is not. 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. (Job's heart did reproach him to the point of Job calling himself...

People print books to make money. They put nothing in those books that will lose money. That is just human nature. Oxford University Press has taken on for themselves the Job of formulating a New Septuagint, which they call NETS (New English Translation of the Septuagint). In the introduction...

When studying the book of Job it is important to apply New Testament principles. The following verses are some of those principles. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 1Corinthians 1:30 But of him...

I see. You believe Job sinned. So we know Job's three friends sinned and God requires them to make a sacrifice for their sin. We know that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin (Hebrews 9:22). So if Job sinned, where is his sacrifice? Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the...

The bet was would Job curse God. Upon losing his family and possessions, Job worshipped. Satan lost. So Satan doubles down and includes an attack on Job. While Job's faith is tested, God uses the opportunity to reveal Himself much more intimately to Job. And Job still doesn't curse God. Same...

The following is two requests by Job for a person such as Elihu The two requests of Job are found in Job 9:32-35 Job 9:32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Job 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand...

Praise the Lord for his goodness.

It's the same test. Satan just doubled down on the first bet. What specifically was Job's sin? BTW...who won the bet: Satan or God? No it is not the same test. The first test involved Job's possessions, and the second test involved Job's flesh. You ask who won the bet, but which test are...

Where is the 2nd test listed? First test Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Second test Job 2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And yet despite all of that, God Himself explicitly states at in chapter 42 that Job has spoken rightly about Him (God). Did you notice that? Also, do you believe Job sinned? Thanks for the dialogue! We all have spoken rightly when we confess our sins to God. Yes I believe Job sinned when...

Sorry but I am not following your line of thought in posts 43 and 44.

What do you know about the Septuagint? Can anyone present an English translation of it online. Why is it not used in our Bibles?

No I don't think we should forget it. I think you should start the thread and I will join it.

Terry God's words concerning the three friends is often misquoted. God never said that they said anything wrong, and God never said anything about them in reference to Job. Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My...

I would say this reply would be better served in a new thread. What would you name it? Thank you.

Not knowing anything about scripture, and having sung Jesus loves me from summer bible school I cried out to God asking him how could he be fair? Many nights were spent in tears asking the same question over and over. God answered by overwhelming me with his goodness. Then, being confused about...
