    The book of Job

    Can you please clarify what you meant by your statement I addressed? You wrote: Is that your opinion regarding Job's words in Job 13:23? Job 13:23 (Job to God)) How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.

    The book of Job

    You answer appears non-existent. Where is your response to Job 13:23 where Job seeks God asking Him to reveal to him his sin? The closest thing I could find in your response was this statement: So your substantive answer is that Job was saying something stupid in Job 13:23? When Job cried...

    The book of Job

    So it appears you have no explanation for Job 13:23. Understood. Job has lost his connection with God and knows that if God shows him his sin, he can repent and have his relationship with God restored. So why does God not show Job his sin? Job is asking to have his sin revealed so it can be...

    The book of Job

    More to say about your response, but did you ever address the question regarding Job 13:23? Job 13:23 (Job to God)) How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin. How do you explain why a proud person, full of self-righteousness and pride, would actively seek...

    The book of Job

    Happy to address Elihu as has been done before. However, are you able to explain why James would commend Job in his epistle to believers if Job was perservering and remaining steadfast in his pride? You have provided no explanation as to why Job would commend Job for this. So before we move...

    The book of Job

    I’ll clarify what I meant. What I read as the first question deals with binary proposition you put forth of “what” Job is trusting in (i.e. his righteousness or God’s). What I saw as the second question was “why” he was trusting in it, of which I answered. But are you going to address the...

    The book of Job

    These are 2 different questions. But you are right, I did not answer the *why* part that you asked previously. Your Question: Why is Job trusting God to save him? My Answer: because God is God and Job is not. Only God has the power to save Job. Job knows this, as evidenced in his words...

    The book of Job

    Do you have any support for your belief that Job is persevering and being steadfast in his pride? And why would James commend him for it? You don’t have any support for your claim, right? Regarding Elihu, consider this description of false apostles provided by Paul. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For...

    The book of Job

    Have you not read my responses? Please review Post #863, Post #880 and Post #907. My answer was provided you. But…if you need it again, here ya go :) Job is trusting in God Himself to save him. Job 13:16 (Job) He also shall be my salvation Compare this statement from Job with the words of...

    The book of Job

    Nowhere. Because Elihu is a false prophet. He is the spirit of anti christ. He is a deceiver and the accuser of the brethren. The lovers of Elihu are being deceived. Sadly.

    The book of Job

    But your response continues to avoid the question. Are you willing and/or able to address it? This question is not a repeat. It is a continuation of thought regarding James’s commendation of Job. You answered “yes” to Job persevering and being steadfast in his pride. So can you answer the...

    The book of Job

    OK so I will answer you question even thought this has been addressed before. It is not a new question. No, it does not sound like Job is bragging about his goodness. I know you read the words in this story, but do you also read the context in which those words reside? Let’s look at the verses...

    The book of Job

    Sorry, this response reads as avoidance. I’ve answered your question several times now, as you know. Job is trusting in God Himself. You also claimed Job believes he “deserves” to be saved because of his good works, but you never provided any reference from the text for that claim. This was...

    The book of Job

    This was asked a couple of times now. You answered “yes” to the question of Job was persevering in his pride the whole time he was suffering. Here is the question: So according to your own independent interpretation, Job is persevering in his pride the whole time he is suffering? (To this you...

    The book of Job

    :) Should be pretty clear nobody has any difficulty understanding your question or why you specifically are asking it. In fact, you have already answered your own question insisting that Job is trusting in his own righteousness to save him. We understand your position. Here is my answer: C...

    The book of Job

    Again... So according to your own independent interpretation, Job is persevering in his pride the whole time he is suffering? The discussion for the post was in regards to James commending Job for persevering. So your answer is “yes” Job is persevering and being steadfast and patient “in his...

    The book of Job

    This is simply your conjecture. The text does not say Job had “no” knowledge. It says Job “spoke” without knowledge. Job “spoke” without knowledge during his trial and tribulation. This is self-evident since neither Job, nor his friends, knew the actual reason for why he was suffering. But...

    The book of Job

    Huh? This statement is unclear. Evidence Eliphaz is lying was provided. Did you read what was written in the post? Here it is again: Job 22:5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? Job 22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked...

    The book of Job

    Job's faith is more than just believing that God exists. Job’s faith includes him trusting in God and walking in God's ways. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him Job's faith is in God Himself to save him. Job 13:16 He also shall be my salvation The answers are in Scripture...

    The book of Job

    Where does Job say he “deserves” to be saved because he was a good person? Show us. Again, Job declaring his good works were a rebuttal to his friends’ false accusations claiming Job had done the opposite. (Previous post pointed out examples of the lies of Eliphaz in this regard.) To which...
