Yes, everything should bring glory to God. Job reproved God, and annulled God's judgment. Job 40:2,8 Job was not yet a son, but a servant, when he was corrected. According to Job's own words, he wanted to be free from his master. He also claimed to be a hireling. Hirelings could not partake of...

You should put aside doctrines if the bible is not doctrinally consistent though out scripture. I happen to believe that the bible is doctrinally consistent. The book of Job is chock full of jewels, and it requires a deep study of the whole book, not just the first two chapters, and the last...

Elihu and his role in the book of Job Elihu shows up on the scene unannounced, and unrecorded as to his relationship with Job. Elihu shows up in his wrath, as stated in Job 32:2. Why, because Job justified himself rather than God. Again this is the heart of this book, Job exalting himself...

Well written, but full of holes. He never addresses Job exalting his own righteousness over God's righteousness. That is what Satan was guilty of. Nor does he address Elihu, the only one in the story who's father is recorded. Elihu was Job's mediator, and he was given 6 whole chapters devoted to...

If you believe that God was referring to Elihu in Job 38:2 you stand with a very small crowd. You also have to ignore the first verse, and the third verse, as well as the content of the chapter. It is Job that is without knowledge, as God demands of Job an answer for his words without...

You have not answered how a man could reprove God, disannul God's judgment, exalt their own righteousness above God's, take Satan for a servant, declare that God would laugh at the trial of the innocent, and still be righteous. You have not commented on the four chapters dedicated to Elihu...

Yes even after you quoted from Ezekiel. The picture we are given in Job is of a righteous man, clothed in his own righteousness. Who in his own pride exalts his righteousness over God's righteousness. God said, "Will you condemn me that you may be righteous?" Elihu said, "Think this to be...

When you read Job chapters 40-41 it becomes obvious your statement is not sound.

You are absolutely right that Job did not sin with his lips. If you lay the two tests side by side you will find that they are presented identically, line for line, except where there was an actual difference. The differences are clear. First test Job blessed God. Second test Job did not bless...

Of the 330 times "barak" occurs in the KJB it is only translated curse four times. And they all occur in the first two chapters of Job. 302 times it is translated bless. The first time it is used in Job it occurs as bless not(barak lo). Hebrew words that occur in the negative are often on a...

No the translations are not wrong. To not bless God is to curse God. It is the equivalent of saying Johnny is bad, when you could have said Johnny is not good. They both have basically the same meaning.

No Job did not curse God in chapter three. But have you considered it odd that Job did curse? There was two tests that Job endured. Satan said that Job would not bless God to his face after the first test. But Satan was wrong, Job did bless God after the first test. And again Satan said Job...

Job failed his second test and commenced his cursing.

What you have written is accurate. But Job fell after he was tested the second time.

There is no speculation here, just the facts. God would not have given us the father and descendants of Elihu if it was not to be taken literally.
