BINGO!!! the "Peer pressure factor" - real or imagined!!! But the likely outcome - IF the election isn't a "Blowout", will be endless media wrangling, Total confusion (I personally HAVE NO CONFIDENCE in the integrity of the upcoming election), and Violence - If the Swamp (Democrats) loses...

CHuckle!! What was your first clue???? "SIN" really isn't on the table. Job had two SPECIFIC areas in his life that God wanted to correct, because they were holding Job back from a better understanding / trusting of God. Why did Job think it was a good idea to "Offer sacrifices" for his...

That's the reason that God kicked off the process - to bring to light those issues so that Job could respond appropriately (Job 42:6 ). It's ALL about the redemptive process. REMEMBER - Job as an OLD TESTAMENT SAINT didn't have the indwelling Holy Spirit as we do in 2024. (John 14:17)

And God shows him in the only way possible. Problem solved.

That's your FIRST Mistake. Paul didn't "Debate" with the LOST. He simply presented Jesus, and Him Crucified, and let the Holy Spirit take it from there to provide "CONVICTION OF SIN" which is the beginning of faith. No "Conviction" = no conversion. ISLAM (like any successful HERESY/CULT) has...

Unless there IS ONE!!!! "Eschatology" = Rank Speculation. Nothing more.

Accordion to your paradigms. Job, of course WASN'T blameless, and was as much a SINNER, and short of the Glory of God as everybody else IS. Whether you like or not, God was AFTER two things in Job in order to make him BETTER than he was. And the entire process that GOD CAUSED had exactly the...

That appears to be the indication since the dead "Rise first" 1 Th 4::16,17

So to you, it's still just a wager between God and satan, and Job's "profit" from it is merely incidental - God had no redemptive purpose in what He started. Make no mistake - GOD STARTED the whole process, not satan, and every step along the way was under God's control.

So as far as you're concerned the whole thing was a "Contest" between God and satan, and job was nothing but a victim????

True statement. God did what God had to do to produce the realization in Job of what his latent Spiritual issues were. So then pay attention to the text!!!! Who STARTED the ball rolling?? was it satan or God??? God's "Cause"/"Reason" was to make Job Aware of his issues, so that he (Job)...

Only according to your private Interpretation/Paradigm

The context makes it clear. Everything that satan did was under God's control. I.e. you CAN do this, but you CAN'T DO THAT.

Nope - there was no "Wager". God used satan as His "tool" to educate Job primarily in the two areas mentioned, and bring him to repentance, as recorded in Job 42:6.

The Book is a study of HOW FAR God will go to "reach" a person, so that the person can REPENT of their sin. God uses satan as his "surgical instrument" to bring Job to repentance about TWO ISSUES that needed attention. Leviathan (Job's personal Pride), and Behemoth (Job's self-reliance in his...

Chuckle!! tongues ARE "gifts per se". The bible is CLEAR about when tongues (and "Prophesy" AND "knowlege") will cease. it's found in 1 Cor 13:8. You keep avoiding the central issue: What do YOU (your paradigm) think "That PERFECT" is. Except you haven't EXPLAINED anything at all - only...

God - since He's still empowering People (myself included) to manifest them. Apparently your religious paradigm doesn't agree, so no biggie. But you ignored my question: What's your "version" OF "THAT PERFECT"??? (1 Cor 13:10) The "Bible" is the most common suggestion and even the "Printing...

"Legitimate Poll" - isn't that a contradiction of terms????

That would be an "I don't know" indicating no knowledge of Spiritual gifts. You might want to read 1 Cor 12-14 to find out
