Then they need to study this book more thoroughly.

God turned the judging job over to Elihu in the case of Job.

Six myths that people believe that prevent them from understanding the book of Job. 1. That Job has salvation because God said Job was blameless and upright at a particular time. 2. That Satan was wrong both times about Job. 3. That the three friends said something wrong about God. 4. That...

When you say Job has a relationship with God are you implying that Job is saved from the beginning? Job asked, Job 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? Job asked who is God, Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the...

I agree with you when you say God stated that Satan had God move against Job without cause. Satan’s cause was to destroy Job. Satan had said Job would not bless God if something bad happened to his possessions, and Satan was wrong. Job did bless God. This makes Satan’s cause unjust. This first...

I wouldn't see a need for a reference of every expression, "the last day". What does the last day mean? If you are referencing the whole Bible, then the last day would have to be after the millennium, or chapter 22, would it not? There are many ages portrayed in the Bible.

You have to consider the audience and the age. The last day for the age of Adam was the flood. The last day for the Jews and the law was somewhere around 70 AD.

CORRECTION FOR POST 266. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORDS OF ELIHU, BUT RATHER ELIPHAZ Words of Eliphaz Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. (9) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. Job 5:2 For...

Yes, that was probably due to my age.

Job says he knows as much as Elihu knows, and that is probably true, but Job's words were not cited ad scripture in the NT. Words of Elihu Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. (9) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his...

If Job was an Edomite, he would have had the same understanding as Isaac and Abraham, which would agree with what you are saying.

If Job was an Edomite, he would not have reason to mention any written law. His law would have been oral.

What can I say, I was wrong.

Yes, but then I see the latter day as a different age.

Not sure how to answer that. Are you asking me if it already happened, or are you asking me if I believe it to be true? I was taking Jame's implication that Job was a prophet.

I believe I was in error when I said many. Had not thought it through. Job said, Job 19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! Job 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and...

James speaks of Job as a brother and prophet. I do not believe that Job was a descendant of Jacob, but rather Esau, but we are not told. In regard to being a prophet, Job said many prophetical things, but so did Eliphaz. In regard to Job having patience, he certainly did. Job lost all his...

If you are angry with the three friends and believe the book leads you in that direction, consider Eliphaz. Eliphaz is the only one in the book of Job whose words have been quoted as scripture. Eliphaz said, Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is...

Jhn5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

I believe the mark is often missed on this one. Job had requested that a man might plead with God for his neighbor. I believe Job stated this wishing his friends had pleaded to God for Job, rather than condemning him. Job 16:20-22 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. O...
