Seems that Satan had already had his attention on Job: Job 1:8-10 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear...

why not include the entire first two chapters... Oh yeah, text and attention span limit. But the point here, is that it is Satan, not God, who suggests the theft of his property, the murder of his family, and the affliction of his body - and also Satan who carries it out. do we imagine God...

it seems yo me your accusation against Elihu all stems from this: you believe Job is completely impeccable and perfect in all his actions, thoughts and words, and that Elihu accuses him falsely of wrong. couple things: Elihu's case is decidedly not the argument Jobs friends bring against...

did the idea to afflict Job, murder his family and have his possessions robbed, come from God? the Book says otherwise - Job 1:9-11 So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on...

previously discussed, with references cited. Elihu is here paraphrasing what Jobs three friends said about him.

note the text says God allowed Jobs family and possessions and body to be in Satans hands, and specifically that Satan afflicted him. did God kill Jobs family, take away his material wealth and afflict his body with sores? no, Satan did. did Satan have to ask permission, and did God set...

why does Job repent?

have you ever considered reading the book of Job? Job 1:12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. Job 2:6 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, but...

Psalm 22 happens to have a title, which few Psalms do. He was singing a song called the hind of the morning, which is a song about Israel - Israel is the hind, who believes itself to be forsaken, but in reality is not. in the song, He is God, Who momentarily appears to have forsaken them...

Job 16:12-17 I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target, His archers surround me. He pierces my heart and does not pity; He pours out my gall on the ground. He breaks me with wound upon wound; He runs at me...

Job 33:14-18 For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed, and...

premeditation seems likely. Noah planted a vineyard and made wine - he didn't just stop at a corner store on his way back from the fields one day. this is a visible, years long process, that his family would have watched. there is implicit in this too, that Noah knew how to make wine - to...

my guess would be altered genes in one of his sons wives. can we guess which one.. my understanding is that people were doing something in those days that they tried to replicate in Sodom and in Gibeah, and perhaps beginning to pursue in Jericho, and will again attempt in the last days - in...

Noah is explicitly called not just righteous but also "untainted" in Genesis 6:9 why?
