[QUOTE="Serving Zion, post: 72990113, member: 387004"] No, you are right about this. Their words should not be regarded as the Word of God, and it's an interesting thing to study, that their words don't teach wrong things, they just lack the grace and power to heal that belongs to The Holy Spirit. One verse that comes to mind in this regard is 1 Corinthians 8:1 "knowledge puffs up but love builds up". Also you can see that their words were tedious for Job and actually provoked his anger, where he has lost his temper at them (while he was very uncomfortable, they have come and poured salt in his wounds, so to speak). Consider Job 12:1-3, Job 13:4-5, Job 26:1-4. This isn't the sort of response that love invokes (Proverbs 12:18, Proverbs 16:24). It's interesting to notice that Job didn't have anyone in his life at that time that could speak those words to heal him, and these three thought they were helping him. It's just as well for Job that he didn't yield to them! [/QUOTE]
