Hi Joanie
Good post but I just want to add something here.
You started with addressing dcon, so it could be thought that all you have said is towards him. I know it's not. Just that it could be read this way.
And knowing Dcon, I know he knows the foundation of the blood covenant probably better than anyone here. I've learned much in his thread myself.
Also some of us believe that Job was of the first age, including myself. Am not sure if there is information outside of the book of Job itself about that age. Adam would would not yet be formed.
Is something I think I will research.

So you both are just adding error to error. "First age"! Why not tell us that Atlantis was where Job came from? The Bible is perfectly clear that Adam was the first man to be created, but according to your bizarre notion, Job and his friends existed BEFORE Adam, and Satan could do as he pleased. Unbelievable!
Readers will notice that joaniemarie is adept at going off on EXTENSIVE tangents when her "idol" preachers are taken to task. And now you are complicit in her promotion of false teachings and false teachers.

It's also a true statement that the fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord issafe and set on high. Many crave and seek the ruler's favor, but the wise man waits for justice from the Lord. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and who is upright in the way of the Lord is an abomination to the wicked. Prov.29:25-27
This promise is not just for me but for all of us who dare to bump up against what was shared here as being "sacred cows" I do expect to be challenged because I also challenged these truths. I've been learning that the Word of God is an unfolding and it takes time and patience and a willingness to unfold the truths found in the Bible for our learning.
We don't just sit down and get the truth in one shot. It takes time to hear and hear and hear and hear just like the Bible says about faith... it comes by hearing and hearing and hearing. It becomes our "daily bread" and what we take in eventually changes our old man's views to the new man's views of Who God is and what God says through His Spirit when His Spirit points us to Jesus.
I'm willing to do this when coming here to CC. To take time and to learn. It's exciting to daily find out how much God loves us and how in Christ we are made new and have something new to learn from Him each day. His mercies are new every morning.
If those on this thread appose me for wanting to share the goodness of His love., I'm not hurt to the bone like I used to be when I came here. I've learned that none of us have it down 100% . That we all need to learn more and more about God through His Son and by His Holy Spirit.
So I can say God bless you guys and be happy that He does because of Jesus and the grace He bought and paid for all of us to have.

If we challenge your "sacred cow" that Adam gave control of the Earth to Satan at the garden of Eden, what happens?
You accuse us of "pauper mentality" and not understanding God loves us and that we are His beloved child, thus His princess.
The hyporcrisy is evident for anyone who cares to see.
Jesus prayed in the garden of Gesemene three times "let this cup pass from me" on the cross he cried out in pain "Father why have you forsaken me?"
Jesus undertood what it meant to choose affliction instead of giving into evil. Maybe you too will one day understand.

Says right there why that's bad!
Yes Stones, you're right., decon is one of the few I responded to today because I understand why he posted what he posted. I respect his views and probably agree with most of what he has said on CC consistently these years I've been a member here and been reading him. I was presenting to decon in that post a sort of request that we come and reason together because I don't have all the answers and I'm more than willing to discuss these issues. They MUST be discussed and that is why many of us come here on CC so often.
But when we misunderstand or misrepresent on purpose for the sake of anger., there is no understanding going to come yet. I don't see that sort of anger coming from decon even though he misunderstood my viewpoints here he didn't condemn or accuse.
I certainly believe that IN Christ we are SAFE.. SECURE...WHOLE... HEALED...RIGHTEOUS. AMEN! But outside of Christ... people don't have that guarantee or that "Guarantor". So I see that Job didn't have what we have and I'm not exactly sure as you stated here as well what Job was under as far as any covenants. I don't think he was under any just like Adam and Eve. I'm still learning sister
Bless you for taking the time to post the question. As always you are insightful. Sorry Stones., I don't agree with that. Adam was the first man of that I have no doubt. We are not given any detailed info about how the devil did what he did but he did it first to Adam. This can also go into the Nephilem stuff.... (can't even spell it I'm so unfamiliar with the subject) Maybe you should start another thread on that subject sis.
Got enough going on here already.

either we believe Biblical truth or we do not
mysticism is being found evident in certain posts as well as dabbling in Jewish texts that are no part of Bible text and anyone familiar with the way certain Jewish sects operate, know full well the desire to concentrate on and learn about so called 'forbidden' truths
if someone desires to add these teachings to their personal library, so what? but when they are introduced as though the Bible was missing all this secret info? then it becomes the business of those who believe the Bible is what God has given to us, to speak up and refute those same teachings
I am sure it is no mystery what I post about

Lay aside the pride for a moment and digress.
You have spoken boldly countless times now of your confidence and faith that the Lord is mercifull, and has made and kept his Word (promise
This is true, yet still you have denyed having made a crucial mistake and are clinging to a lie.
The Lord said," have you seen iyov and how he is blameless and upright!."
Well have you?
I ask with all sincerity because everyone can read for themselves what you have said of him.
Where you are in relation to the Lord is far from those who have adhered to the All Mighties decree, iyov is blameless and upright.
You seem to have forgotten that the right hand of falsness is death.
And it is the very hand you so chose to listen to when you challenged the Lord as satan had.
You shall not take the Lord's Name in vain.
His Word is Life.
You made your choice in accusing iyov and siding with the enemy to contend with the tToruth.
And so as was warned.
Yeah or neah.
Did God speak the Truth in sayin iyov is blameless and upright?

Im questioning a lot of things right now that we have been told. I have the book of Jasher and am reading it. At one time I would be afraid to even attempt it.
Am just in the beginning of it so I can't comment on the whole of it, but so far it's the blessings of each of the 12 patriarchs of Israel upon their sons before they die.
And Levi and Judah prophesied of the Christ to come at a time when the nation of Israel refuses Him. That He would then be the King of Gentiles and bring in a different way than law. A time of 70 weeks, then Israel rises again to receive Him.
And Levi tells why he killed the tribe of the young man that raped Dinah, his sister. Can't think of his name at the moment but am sure you know the story.
I appreciate you Joanie and your strong stand. Hopefully some will see that Jesus suffered for us that we may be freed from it.
He didnt promise peace with all though. Inner peace but there are always going to be opposers. I'm ashamed to say I was this way myself at one time.
