    The book of Job

    which has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. so? Eliphaz was a Temanite ... Bildad was a Shuhite ... Zophar was a Naamathite ... Elihu was a Buzite. What does any of that have to do with your unsubstantiated claim that Eliphaz was Job's "best friend"? more deflection. bringing...

    The book of Job

    you do know that chapters were added by men, yes? 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. and fyi ... the verse relates to orderly conduct in a church gathering ... the verse does not relate to Elihu's utterings. .

    The book of Job

    you claimed Eliphaz was Job's "best friend" without a single shred of proof. I'll take 3 verses from God (Who knew Job inside and out) over a few men who thought they knew what they were talking about when they didn't. You hold to men's opinions and miss the whole point of what God wants you...

    The book of Job

    As pointed out to you by christophernyc, you assert claims for which you have absolutely no knowledge. Job responded to these baseless claims of Eliphaz in the verses we have been discussing in Job 29. Just because Eliphaz accused Job does not make the claim of Eliphaz true. Here is what I...

    The book of Job

    Your assumption that I "don't like Job 19:17" is ludicrous. Perhaps you should take a look in the mirror before making claims about others since you're the one who does not "like Job 29:17" when you are shown the correct interpretation of the verse. Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O...

    The book of Job

    In whatever version of the Bible a person reads, the word "spoil" is translated from the Hebrew word "ṭerep̄" which means "leaf, meat, prey, spoil" and is translated as "prey" in Job 4:11, Job 24:5, Job 38:39 ... as well as other verses in Scripture. what we know for a fact is that the phrase...

    The book of Job

    tttallison said: Job 29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. (Taking gold from the teeth of the dead.) Read the verse in a translation other than KJV: New International Version I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth...

    The book of Job

    tttallison said: If you introduce someone to a hitman and you know the hitman will want to take the person out, and you know the ending before the beginning, then you are responsible. reneweddaybyday said: God knows you will sin before you sin ... does that make God responsible for your sin...

    The book of Job

    God knows you will sin before you sin ... does that make God responsible for your sin? God restraining satan from outright killing Job does not equal God being responsible for "everything outside the limits" He placed on satan. satan is wholly responsible for the actions he took against Job. .

    The book of Job

    r-i-g-h-t ... I suppose you are the only one allowed to "place so much thought in one post". Do you even realize that I and others are responding to posts you submit and wherein you include many tangled issues which need to be unraveled? no he wasn't. Please provide chapter and verse wherein...

    The book of Job

    No! ... that is not what I am saying ... please follow the discussion: tttallison said: You said Job was completely ignorant of Satan, but you need to examine the following verse where Job is speaking to God---- Job 10:3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest...

    The book of Job

    Who is it that "shines upon the counsel of the wicked" in this world, tttallison? who is "the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2)? nope ... just because Job and his friends believed God was the One Who smote Job with sore boils from the soles of his feet to...

    The book of Job

    That is not what I said ... nor is it what the verse says. I believe it is more likely that the verse is referring to what has occurred among all generations and continues to this day ... evil-doers who are prosperous ... who are successful ... who seemingly have no problems ... and we know why...

    The book of Job

    reneweddaybyday said: We know it was satan because God revealed that to us ... none of them knew what Job suffered was brought upon him by satan. Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. who smote Job...

    The book of Job

    It matters which figure of speech is used because if the reader does not understand that a figure of speech is used, he or she could take literally what God means figuratively ... and vice versa. God could be speaking literally and a reader may think God is speaking figuratively. Either way...

    The book of Job

    You have to understand that Job and his friends had no knowledge of satan. Job and his friends were aware of and knew about a sea creature called leviathan. Job and his friends understood that God was speaking to them of leviathan ... not satan. you need to do a little more research so you...

    The book of Job

    Job was a believer from the outset. That fact is established in the first verse of the book. I believe Job's friends were believers as well ... none of them (Job included) understood that Job was under attack from satan. Job's friends believed Job was being chastened by God ... while Job did...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    you do not believe God's grace was not evident under the law? ... that faith was not evident under the law? As far as the "dispensation of the grace of God" being completely unique from every other age or era, the words of the Lord Jesus Christ corroborate this truth: John 16:7 Nevertheless I...

    The book of Job

    too bad you don't like it enough to apply it when it comes to your reading of Scripture. nope ... rather than reading what is written in Job, you you run hither and yon ... thinking that just because a word appears in Job and the same word appears in another book, both refer to the same thing...
