Luke 15:12 So he divided to them his livelihood. Luke 15:31 And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.' the older brother has taken his inheritance and made the father a servant in his own household, owning nothing. he is angry that the father has spent...

both!

:)

that the older brother asked for his inheritance while the father still lived is reprehensibly awful. it's equivalent to wishing your parents dead. he would/should have been stoned to death if this was a a real event. notice too he made accusations about the younger brother spending his money...

well i mean if our economy is destroyed, our beuracracy gutted, and we are politically & economically isolated from all the nations that used to be our allies... then we are not so much of a match, potentially. at the very least no chance we're going to stop Vlad from doing what imperialism he...

i don't think there's harm in remembering it on thursday with catholics and episcopals. seder shouldn't be eaten before sundown because sundown is the beginning of the new day. it's a supper, not a breakfast, so in the evening - which is i think, the answer you were looking for, @rstrats :)

it would have been tuesday evening, soon after sunset, not thursday, because He was crucified on a wednesday afternoon, not friday. interestingly this year ishtar, orthodox ishtar and actual Pascha all fall on the same day - next saturday sundown to sunday sundown is Firstfruits, the day He rose

how were there giants in Canaan since the nephilim were all destroyed in the flood?

what about the sins of David being visited on the whole nation, as in the matter of the census?

isn't it interesting he is the only person in the book with an Hebrew name? a relative of Abraham? and why Jobs gentile friends stopped answering - 32:1 - because Job "was righteous in his own eyes" this quality is what angered Elihu and caused him to speak, and it is a quality Job no longer...

anger is not sin. Psalms 4:4 Be angry, and do not sin. Psalms 7:11 God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Job 40:1-8 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: "Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it." Then Job answered the LORD and said: "Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth. Once I have spoken, but I...

in ch. 40 v.2 & 8 God challenges Job with exactly the same things that upset Elihu - - and they are not unfounded; Job in ch. 9 for example laments that he could not bring his case before God even if he was right, complaining that there is no mediator - as tho the 'system is rigged' against him.

the character of Elihu is extremely mysterious and there has never been a settled, orthodox view of him your criticism is firmly rooted in Christian and Jewish history, but so also is my admiration. for the purposes of this thread i think it's really beautiful that you and i have this...

who wrote the book of Job? no one knows, and every guess is speculation. one historical perspective is that Elihu is actually the author. others think Elihu's dialogue was a later addition, but only because the style and language is less complex - - which would equally be explained by him...

and both Elihu and God rebuke him for it. Christ is God, and not forsaken by God. He sang the Psalm 'the hind of the morning' in which Israel is the hind, who thinks it is forsaken, but is not. that's a very interesting correlation with Job, but a key difference is that Jesus was never for...

maybe a reference to this? - - Genesis 22:20-23 Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, "Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."...

ahem. you went to great logical loop de loops to argue Genesis 1:1 isn't the creation of the earth, and now that it was shot down, you are trying to pretend you never did.

the appearance was commanded, not the creation of it. your argument that the seeing of a thing equals its creation holds no water.

it has already bern shown in Job 38 that the angels definitively pre-exist the creation of the earth, which takes place previous to Genesis 1:2
