    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.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    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...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    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...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    In the translation from Hebrew to English some understanding has been lost. Satan did not say Job would curse God. Satan said Job would not bless God. In Job 1:11 Satan said Job will "barak" "lo" you. "barak" always means to bless and "lo" means not. It reads "bless not" you. After the first...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    I have given you a number of the verses. If I was to go back it would start in chapter three. Job 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

    If you were able to accept that Elihu is God's prosecuting attorney, you wouldn't be asking.

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    Salvation. Consider what Elihu has already taught Job in the 33 Chapter. In Job 33:15 Elihu tells Job that God speaks to man through dreams and visions in the night. Job had already stated that God had terrified him through visions in the night. (Job 7:14) The purpose of the dreams was to keep...

    Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. In Job 9:17 Job calls God unjust. Job 9:22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    There is no discrepancy. Job 38:1-2 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Job 40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    There is no discrepancy. Job 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Elihu’s wrath was kindled, because the three friends had not found the answer. The answer was that Job had to repent and put on God’s...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    It states Elihu was angry with Job, and with the three friends. That equates to two times. Consider that God was angry with Job eight times, according to Job. Was Job receptive to God’s anger? You would think not, since Job said, God would laugh at the trial of the innocent. If Elihu was...
