And yet despite all of that, God Himself explicitly states at in chapter 42 that Job has spoken rightly about Him (God). Did you notice that? Also, do you believe Job sinned? Thanks for the dialogue! We all have spoken rightly when we confess our sins to God. Yes I believe Job sinned when...

Sorry but I am not following your line of thought in posts 43 and 44.

What do you know about the Septuagint? Can anyone present an English translation of it online. Why is it not used in our Bibles?

No I don't think we should forget it. I think you should start the thread and I will join it.

Terry God's words concerning the three friends is often misquoted. God never said that they said anything wrong, and God never said anything about them in reference to Job. Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My...

I would say this reply would be better served in a new thread. What would you name it? Thank you.

Not knowing anything about scripture, and having sung Jesus loves me from summer bible school I cried out to God asking him how could he be fair? Many nights were spent in tears asking the same question over and over. God answered by overwhelming me with his goodness. Then, being confused about...

The Septuagint Translations of Thompson and Brenton are the only ones I am aware of, and they are based on the Codex Vaticanus 1209. The Codex Vaticanus has Methusaleh living 14 years beyond the flood. In Isaiah 9:6 it has removed the names of the Messiah. Wonderful, Councilor, The mighty God...

Brasspen greetings I would put it another way. But you are right. God loved Job and wanted to fix him. I believe all the translations say twice as much, or double.

Are you aware that NETS (New English Translation of the Septuagint by Oxford) has stated they have only continued the name Septuagint due to the weight of tradition. (Not surprisingly then, though the various parts of "the translation of the seventy" have many features in common, it is also...

Dating the book of Job is hard. We are told that Eliphaz is a Temanite. We know that Esau had a son called Eliphaz who had a son called Teman, from which the Temanites decended. Elihu's father was a Buzite. Ezekiel's father's name was Buzi. Related? Possibly. Elihu was of the kindred of Ram...

No, not necessarily Edom, but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence. 1. Lam 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. (The land of Edom is only mentioned...

God had no reason to explain Elihu to Job. It was by Job's request that Elihu appeared. Doesn't it appear strange to you that no one could make a reply to Elihu, and that Elihu was given six chapters to himself. Job twice requested a man of clay to be mediator between God and himself. Job's...

Yes, Amazing beyond our understanding.

There is more in Lamentations. But look at how Paul speaks of Israel. Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant...

In Chapter 13:15 we find a "but" which is followed by the statement "I will maintain my own ways before Him." Job's ways are not right according to God, according to Elihu, according to the spirit, and according to Job. God said to Job in Job 40:8 "Will you condemn me that you might be...

1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little...

We are at variance on this subject. Your thought lies with the majority of opinion. Thank you for your reply.

I believe Elihu is the writer of this book as he speaks in the first person. Job asks for a mediator who was made of clay. Job had said God would laugh at the trial of the innocent. (Job 9:23) Elihu and God Compare these verses carefully. Elihu said, “Job hath spoken without knowledge, and...
