You still haven't answered why Job is trusting God to save him. Is Job trusting in God's righteousness, or is Job trusting in Job's righteousness?

I don't understand how you can say that about Elihu. What Elihu stated God repeated. You still haven't answered a simple question. Was Job depending on God's righteousness, or his own righteousness, to save him?

God doesn't count? Job asked God for a mediator that wouldn't scare him like God, and God sent him Elihu to stand in God's place. Can you tell me what you have against Elihu? And yes Elihu did charge Job with saying his righteousness was greater than God's.

Isa 56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name...

Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him...

People who don't know how to be just with God believe if their good out weighs their bad they will be OK. So along comes Job who exceeds most people in doing good so naturally he believes he deserved to go to heaven. Hopefully you know what the problem is with that? When you are without...

Why are you afraid to say Job is depending on God's righteousness? You want a place where Job said he deserved to be saved? Job implied it with his speech. Job 29:11-21 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered the poor that...

You have admitted I answered your question, so how about answering mine. The answer needs to be either Job's or God's. Was Job's trusting his own righteousness or was he trusting in God's righteousness. You obviously know the answer and yet you refused to answer.

We have trouble seeing our own pride. Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? Job 41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Not all the time. Job 30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

Some times you sound really silly to me. Of course it matters whether Job is true or not. When you ferret it all out truth matters. The book is presented as representing a real person, and if it doesn't represent a real person it brings the whole bible into question.

Yes, and that requires repentance and conversion.

How are you going about to find the lies that prove that man has corrupted the bible?

I followed you down to the statement where you said, "If Job's righteousness was constant,"------ The bible says our righteousness is as filthy rags, and that there is none righteous, no not one. We can attempt to be righteous, but that is all it is, an attempt. Experience teaches us that the...

Of course Job believes it is God that is going to save him. If there is no God there is no saviour. The question becomes why would God save Job. You are saying that Job believes that God is going to save him, therefore Job will be saved. Is that why we are going to be saved, because we believe...

The land of Uz was not an ambiguous place to Jeremiah. Jer 25:20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Lam 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom...

If Job is not literal than you can't trust Ezekiel or James. Think about what you are saying.

I think it is about one of the most righteous men that lived and yet his own righteousness could not save him. I believe the story to be literal.

Let me make it simple for you. Is the answer A. or is the answer B.? A. Job was depending on God's righteousness for his salvation. B. Job was depending on Job's righteousness for his salvation.

The first Hebrew word to describe Job’s character in Job 1:1 is “tam”. The first time “tam” is used it is to describe Jacob. For me it seems that there is a connection between Job and the twin brothers Jacob and Esau. God said Esau have I hated. Job’s name means hated. The cup of woe that was...
