    Septuagint

    Do you know that almost every new translation derives its New Testament from only the Greek text, and that being mainly only one Greek text? That Greek Text is the Vatican's Codex Vaticanus 1209. That same Codex Vaticanus 1209 is the manuscript from which the Septuagint (Old Testament) in...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Was Elihu"s mission to help Job, or correct him? Would you be angry with Satan for elevating himself above God?

    I agree with what God said about Job in chapter one. I disagree with your interpretation of what God said.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    What was Job's faith in. Yes, Job was trusting God to be his salvation. But Job was trusting that his own righteousness would be the reason God would save him. That is entirely contrary to scripture. God doesn't save us because we are good people. Job said, Job 9:24 The earth is given into the...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    First Test Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Second Test Job 2:10 ---In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Herein lays the key to the two tests. Job is completely exonerated in the first test. Notice that Job did not sin in any manner. Examine that which...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Presented these before, but will do so again for clarity. THE TWO TESTS OF JOB Job had two tests. Whenever you take a test, you get scored on that test. In the reading of the first and second chapters of Job we are caught up with the anguish and torment of Job, and in the process we are...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Because Job passed the first test does not mean he didn’t deserve the test. God has a purpose for everything God does. Satan had a purpose as well. Satan knew that Job’s righteousness would only carry Job so far. God says all our righteousness is as filthy rags. If you have the most righteous...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Job said God was angry with him. Job knew, for he said the arrows of the Almighty are within him. You are right, God said there was no one as self-righteous as Job. You know what the bible says about a righteous man? Eze 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    The first chapter leaves us with two methods of sinning. Job 1:5 It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. The second method. Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. In the first test Job did not charge God foolishly. But Job sure did charge...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Strong's has two Hebrew words for that one English word that is translated curse. The one word is "lo" which means no, or not, and the other is "barak", or as you want it "yə·ḇā·ră·ḵe·kā". If your word means blaspheme, then Satan would have said Job will not blaspheme. Strong's numbers-and he...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    You do understand that this is one of the verses where it has just been acknowledged that Job called God unjust: Job reproved God.

    2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” Psa 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    It seems it would be proper to say, "did God the father allow his perfect Son Jesus------", in order to recognize the Deity of Christ. Jhn 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Job did not pass the second test. Have you ever compared the two tests? Have you acknowledged that there were two tests? Where does God say Job is suffering undeservedly after the second test?

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    To start with, not everything God said was a question. "He that reproveth God" is not a question. Job had told God he didn't trust God to be a fair judge. Job went on to describe what kind of Judge he wanted. Therefore, God did not sit as Job's judge. God sent Elihu as judge at the request of...

    Rejecting what contradicts your beliefs In an ideal world, rational people who encounter new evidence that contradicts their beliefs would evaluate the facts and change their views accordingly. But that’s generally not how things go in the real world. Partly to blame is a cognitive bias that...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    God qualifies his statement in Job 42:7 with the words "of me", meaning God. You have a legitimate argument, whether God was talking about what they said, or didn't say. But who the speech, or lack of speech, was directed at you don't. You need to identify what the three friends said about God...
