    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Job strove with God. Job rebuked God. Job said God would laugh at the trial of the innocence. Job exalted his own righteousness above God's righteousness. So help me understand how he is Christ like.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    It wasn't what they said, but what they didn't say that they were held accountable. When they repented God accepted all four of them.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    What is speaking right about God? Isn't this about salvation? Isn't it when we confess our sins to Him, and put on his righteousness? Job did not do that until the 42 chapter. We know, prior to that, Job spoke without knowledge.

    1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. Eliphaz also quoted the first two beatitudes in an inverted...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    When Job declared his righteous greater than God's. Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be...

    Septuagint

    But are you not saying that the Greek is more accurate? They translated the New Testament from a manuscript that contained the Old Testament as well. Besides that, they say Matthew was written in Hebrew. Why not use a single manuscript?

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    There is plainly two tests, Job failed the second test when he did not bless God. KEY 4 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...

    If that is true, then why are we not using it in our bibles?

    The beast and the dragon. I am amazed that Job exalted himself above God, and yet no one seems to care. That is what the dragon did.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    It seems clear that Job is talking to God and not Eliphaz. Job 7:17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? Job 7:18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? Job 7:19 How long wilt thou not depart from me...

    I agree with you. Understanding the role Elihu takes is a key to understanding this book. Job 34:4 Let us choose to us judgment: H4941 let us know among ourselves what is good. The Hebrew word translated judgment is a legal term. judgment act of deciding a case place, court, seat of judgment...

    Elihu is either a liar, or he is speaking truth. If he is a liar, you have to explain why God gave him six chapters in this book. Let me understand this. Job has declared God unjust, and yet he is the Hero. Elihu has only praised God, and he is dog food.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Job said he broke the jaws of the wicked. Job was the judge that decided who was wicked. Do you really want a judge who is without knowledge deciding who lives, and who dies? Paul was making a judgment call on Christians, but he lacked knowledge, and the Christians died. Job 9:2 I know it is so...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Thank you. A long time ago I asked God for two things. One was for wisdom and the other was to keep me poor. He did not let me down in the latter.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Paul is called blameless while killing Christians, and yet if he had not met Christ on the road to Damascus would he have been saved? Job 29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. Kind of what Paul did to Christians. Job 29:7 When I went out to the gate...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    I do not disagree with the other Scripture references you provided, nor would I want to. Still, I did not see any response to the question: if you're accusing Job of self-righteousness, why does God call him blameless (twice)? How does that comport? The same way Paul declared himself blameless...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Can you not see how Job parallels Israel? Most Orthodox Jews have been required to quote scripture from a youth up. They can spew theological gravy better than anyone, yet they are not saved. Jesus called them whited sepulchers. God did not say Job was one of the most godliest people. God said...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    In the big picture I agree with you, but it appears you are simply pouring theological gravy over this story. Yes, Jesus is ultimately our righteousness, but you must know that before Christ Jesus became a man on earth and died on the Cross that sacrifices were required for sin. They do not...
