They say you can know a man's character by his friends. There is another saying, "Birds of a feather flock together." Why not compare scripture to see if you have it right? God said, Isa 45:9a Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! God said, Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the...

The hate for the three friends, is it deserved? God's anger was turned on the three friends immediately after Job repented, when Job's eyes were opened. What is it that God is telling the three friends? Doesn't the answer lie in the fact that Job has repented but they have not? Their eyes have...

I am very negative on the NKJV. From what source did they get their translation. It definitely wasn't the same source as the translators of the KJB. No, I believe "wish" captures it best. Job twice desired to have a mediator that would not scare him to death. The NKJV would have you believe...

It is interesting to note that the phrase "God's stead" is used only twice, the other time was when Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel because she was blaming Jacob for the fact that she was barren. Gen 30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead...

The new translations have taken out one word from Job 33:6. That word is "mouth" in the Hebrew it is "peh". Strongs H6310 NASB20----Job 33:6 “Behold H2005, I belong to God H410, like you; I too H1571 have been [fn]formed H7169 out H7169 of the clay H2563. Compare with the Authorized Version...

We have to examine the book of Job with the principles of the New Testament. We know that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We know that our righteousness is as filthy rags. We know that unless we put on God's righteousness, we are none of his and committing ourselves to a...

I would not recommend John Hartley's sermons on Job. If you put Job on a pedestal as perfect and always perfect, then you position him as equal to God. That would be above Abraham, Moses, David, and every other character in the bible. When you try and make the Bible fit your narrative you will...

It is not even plausible that God was speaking to Elihu instead of Job, when he said, who is this that speaks without knowledge? The context does not allow for it. Only the smallest group, who do not like the narrative, insist that God is speaking to Elihu, and take a couple verses from 42...

Possibly. It is all in how you interpret Strong's H7760 - śûm The authorized version interprets it as disposed or put away. The NASB interprets it as established. Depending on how you interpret Strong's H7760 - śûm will determine whether it is referring to the flood or creation, or...

Here lies the problem why most people do not understand the book of Job. Because pastors have a bias toward Job. They have been taught in seminaries that Job is a Saint, and the narrative laid out is always to defend Job. Job can say God will laugh at the trial of the innocent. Job can exalt...

Elihu doesn't speak of a cloud in Job 37:1

You are putting words in my mouth by presenting unclear questions. Of course it was God who thrusted Job down. God wanted to save Job's soul. Job was hovering over the pit. God said woe to him that contends with God, and who exalts himself above God. God asked Job if he thought Job's own arm...

You ask, where did Job come from? The answer seems obvious when you read the whole book. We can clearly see that Job requested him twice. Job 9:14-15 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would...

Yes, it is Elihu's question, and it is directed at Job. Job has placed himself above God by declaring his righteousness is greater than God's righteousness. God said to Job, Job 40:2 "Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it." So we see...

I apologize, but I cannot interpret your question. Would it be possible to make it clearer?

No matter how many verses you take out of context to fit your narrative you still have a problem. How do you answer the fact that God gave 6 chapters, or over 14 percent of this book to Elihu? If Elihu is a liar as you claim, wouldn't that make God the author of confusion? Why could no one...

Chapter and verse please where you think God said Elihu was without truth?

If you compare the following two verses with your verses, you will find that opinion and knowledge are derived from the same Hebrew word. Elihu is saying his opinion, or knowledge if you will, is coming from God. Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge H1843 from afar, and will ascribe righteousness...

What God is saying is that Job has said the right thing, and that right thing was his confession, when he said he abhorred himself and repented. What you are saying flies in the face of Job 40:2 when God said, "Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let...

It was God's love for Job that allowed God to permit Satan to take Job's possessions and persecute his body. God desires that all be saved. Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? We save...
