    The book of Job

    Jesus did not say God blinded the man. The blindness may have been a congenital defect rather than God having blinded the man. After Adam and Eve sinned, children were (and still are) begotten after the likeness and image of their parents (Genesis 5:3). You were begotten after the likeness...

    The book of Job

    sigh ... of course Job had "the word of God". Job lived in a time when God spoke directly to folks ... think Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. or, since you believe Job was an unbelieving sinner ... think Cain, pharaoh during Joseph's time, Balaam. What Job did not have was "the word of God" in written...

    The book of Job

    I love that section ... many disciples left following the Lord Jesus Christ after He taught them He was the bread that came down from heaven. Interesting that the Lord Jesus Christ is the bread of life ... and He was born in Bethlehem. 🍞 gotta crave and eat the pablum so we can mature to the...

    The book of Job

    how about the fact that Job believed God was the One Who killed his children, killed his servants, had his herds stolen. Here is what Job said after that fiasco brought on by satan: Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and...

    The book of Job

    ... continued ... reneweddaybyday said: Either satan wrought evil upon Job or God did. I believe it was satan who wrought evil upon Job. how do you align Job 2:7 which clearly states satan "smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown" with what is written in Job 42:11...

    The book of Job

    God had discussion with satan concerning Job. "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?" (Job 1:8) ... "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a...

    The book of Job

    Was Jeremiah "hallucinating" ? ... Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart ... Was the Lord Jesus Christ "hallucinating" ? ... Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone...

    The book of Job

    it was still satan who killed Job's children, Job's servants, Job's herds, and it was satan who smote Job with sore boils. and I still believe that if Job's friends had comforted Job with words of faith rather than accusing him of hidden sin for which he needed to repent, Job's suffering would...

    The book of Job

    God restrained satan from outright killing Job. In creation, Adam and Eve were given dominion. When Adam and Eve sinned, dominion was delivered to satan (Luke 4:6). That is why satan is referred to as the prince of this world (John 14:30) ... the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) ... the...

    The book of Job

    well ... satan is satan and he "walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). satan cannot be everywhere at once so he comes and goes as he roams about. his ministry is to steal, kill destroy (John 10:10). God tells us to "resist steadfast in the faith" (1 Peter...

    The covenant promises God made to Abraham were ultimately made to Abraham's "seed" (singular). Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. The lineage of the Lord Jesus Christ ran...

    You simply can't get around the fact that God never said he hated Esau before Esau was born. Before you comment that I "simply can't get around the fact that God hates some people", please provide the chapter and verse where God said he hated Esau before Esau was born. Here is Romans 9:13...

    The book of Job

    do not agree satan had not been considering Job because satan was aware of the hedge. satan may not have been able to touch Job, but he was aware of the fact that he couldn't get near Job. If satan had not been considering Job, he would have had to go check Job out ... then come back and...

    The book of Job

    just as it's written in God's Word. Job 1:7-8 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    What doesn't make sense is your continued resistance to what is explicitly written. You jump from Romans 9:11 to Romans 9:13 and ignore what is written in Romans 9:12. You now know that what God said to Rebecca before the children were born was "the elder shall serve the younger": Genesis...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    What God stated in Romans 9:12 is directly related to what God stated in Genesis 25:23 ... before the twins were born God said "the elder shall serve the younger". Long after both twins had lived their lives God stated "Esau have I hated" (Malachi 1:3). You are wholly mistaken in your claim...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    agree there should be outward evidence (fruit) of the internal dwelling of Holy Spirit in each born again believer. born again believers need to get to the point where the riches found in the Lord Jesus Christ are esteemed as greater than the pleasures of the flesh. .
