Would you have liked this man if you lived in his town? Yes, God said Job was blameless and upright, but that was only until iniquity was found in him. Psa 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. Job 29:7-11 When I went out to the gate through...

There is no disagreement that Christ died for the whole world, nor is God a respecter of persons. The book is written to, of, and by the Jews. Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter...

The implication that Job was the reincarnation of Esau was not inferred. What was inferred was Job represented Edom. Job stated that Job was righteous, and yet God was blind to justice. Job did not want God as his judge, for God would not be fair.

You will have to explain that. The times that Esau is mentioned in the New Testament are---- Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Heb 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Heb 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane...

Job represents all of Edom, as Jacob represents Israel. It should seem strange to us that a book, that is not about Israel, should be found right in the middle of the Bible that is all about Israel. From Genesis 25 forward through Revelation it is all about Israel. Job = "hated" a patriarch...

I made an error in the name of the Unitarian. It George Vance Smith and not John Fenton Hort who was the Unitarian.

I agree that the Deity of Christ has not been removed from our Bible, but is it acceptable that 10 verses regarding the Deity of Christ have been removed, or even five? There is a lack of knowledge of the Unitarian movement in the 19th Century, and the desire to alter the reading of our bibles...

Repent, and put on God's righteousness.

OK I will google it. I googled it, and this is what I found. Septuagint is a Latin word, and not a Greek word. Isn’t that strange? We presently have no manuscript that contains the Septuagint. For a couple hundred years they were putting forth the Codex Vaticanus 1209 as the Septuagint. The...

A very good answer. It wouldn't apply in Job's case, however.

What would your answer be to the one who lost their child? I ask this question in the hope that it might clarify your answer. The answer to why Job suffered.

Is this the answer that you would give someone who just lost their child?

I have been asking if there is a copy of this Septuagint that you have been referring to, or does it no longer exist?

I believe any woman who has just lost 10 children, due to her husband's pride, could be expected to be a little bit distraught with him. I would like you to share your answer.

The Orthodox Church claims it can be written from their liturgy from the beginning.

You misunderstood the meaning of my question. When they used only the Alexandrian Greek to replace the New Testament, why didn't they do the same for the Old Testament? You still haven't given me a source for the Septuagint. How do I find it to read it? Or doesn't it exist today?

What I am asking is what Septuagint are you talking about? Does it exist today? If it doesn't exist today, how do you know it is quoted in the New Testament? In order to believe it is quoted in the New Testament you have to be able to read it to compare.

I have a principle that I don't trust anything I read unless I can prove it, with the exception of the Bible. Are you referring to the Codex Sinaiticus that is in the British Library? The DSS indicates that the Hebrew is extremely accurate, while the so-called Septuagint not so much.

Which Septuagint are you referring to? The one from 2,000 years ago which doesn't exist or the current one, which has been shown to be corrupt, and disavowed by the Orthodox Church?
