1 | Why exactly was God mad at Job friends | Job | Thomass | 73593 | ||
Read Job 42:7-9. Where God condemns Job's friends. God spoke to Eliphaz and said He was angry with him and his two companions for they had "not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has". They thought they knew God's ways, but they didn't. By insisting that suffering is always retributive, the three rthetoricians were limiting God's sovereign ablilty to use suffering for other purposes. As a result, they cruelly indicted an innocent Job. How then did Job speak "what is right"? Had he not repeately and proudly challenged God, accusing Him of injustice and unwarranted silence? Yes, but he had now repented of his proud accusations (42:6) and therefore he was accepted(forgiven) by God. Though Job continued to content with God, he never renounced Him. Also his view of God's power and wisdom exceeded that of the three friends. In 42:8-9 God told them to offer a burnt offering of seven bulls and seven rams (a pretty large sacrifice). And they were to have Job pray for them as their mediator. Never once had they prayed for Job. But now Job, whom they had condemned and badgered, was to intecede for them! They had defended God's justice in striking down Job. but now they saw that God was concerned with more than justice; He is also known for love and grace. Elihu was excluded from this act of repentance because he, though not having all the truth on Job's situation, was nearer the truth than the other three. |

4 | When was the sabbath law changed? | Bible general Archive 1 | Thomass | 73508 | ||
Exdous 20:8-11 The Fourth Commandment Keeping the Sabbath Day holy means to separate it, the seventh day, from the other six as a special day to the Lord. People are to work in six days and worship on the seventh. The basis for this commandment is God's creating the universe in six days and resting on the seventh (Gensis 2:2-3; Exdous 16:23). This was not to be a day of slothful inactivity but of spiritual service through religious observances. For the voliation of this command God imposed on Israel the death penalty (Exdous 31:15; Numbers 15:32-36). In the present Church Age the day of worship has been changed from Saturday to Sunday because of Jesus' resurrection the first day of the week (Acts 20:7; 1 Corth. 16:2). This is the only commandment that has changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament. |

6 | Again who are the dead in Rev 20:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Thomass | 73421 | ||
Rev. 20:4 John stated that these martyred dead came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Their coming to life suggest that they will be given resurrected bodies. Rev. 20:5 John was also informed that the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This refers to the resurrection of the wicked dead, discussed in vv 11-15. All the righteous, regardless of when they are raised, take part in the resurrection which is first or before the final resurrection (of the wicked dead)at the end of the Millennium, This supports the conclusion that the resurrection of the righteous is by stages. So the answer would be the wicked dead (those that are unsaved at the time of their death) their bodies will be joined with their spirits which have been in hades. They will be resecurrected for their judgment. |

7 | Question re: Job | Job | Thomass | 73419 | ||
Because satan could not deny God's assesment of Job's godliness, he questioned why Job was pious(sincere; earnest; deeply religious). Satan suggested that Job was serving God not out of love but only because of what he got from God in return. If Job's rewards were removed, out would go his reverence. Satan's subtle suggestion that worship is basically selfish hits at the heart of man's relationship to God. The Book of Job does more than raise the queston of the suffering of the righteous. It also, through Satan's words, deals with the motives for godly living. Will anyone serve the Lord if he enjoys no personal gain from it? Satan suggested that if God removed His protecting hedge around Job and removed everything he owned, then Job would curse God. Job, in other words, was worshiping for selfish reasons. This accusation also attacked the integrity of God, for it suggested that the only way He can get people to worship Him is to promise them wealth. Perhaps this indictment against His character is one of the reasons God let Satan buffet Job. Surely God knew Job's heart, but He used Job as a demonstration to silence Satan. In addition God wanted to deepen Job's spiritual insight! | ||||||
8 | Any thoughts on Job 13:1-3? | Job | Thomass | 73418 | ||
While one would normally expect leaders to be powerful and elders to be wise, God sometimes reverses that; for Job's advisers, older than he, were not as wise. Job had seen and hard what they were saying about God; and he was not inferior to them. But they were not the ones he wanted to debate. He wanted to argue his case with God. Why should he waste his time arguing with people that were smearing the facts with lies, about his being a sinner. | ||||||
9 | is it acceptable to make demands of god? | Job | Thomass | 73417 | ||
Job's experience demonstrates that a believer, while undergoing intense agony, need not denounce God. Question Him, yes; but not deny Him.The Book of Job also teaches that to ask why, as Job did (3:11-12, 16, 20), is not wrong. But to demand that God answer why, as Job also did (13:22; 19:7; 31:15), is wrong. To insist that God explain one's adversitites is inappropriate for it places man above God and challenges God's sovereignty. So my answer would be NO!! | ||||||
10 | Did Job have a second wife? | Job | Thomass | 73412 | ||
Yes he had a second wife, the bible does not mention her, but he was given 10 more children in the end. Job 42. | ||||||
11 | When was the book of Job written? | Job | Thomass | 73411 | ||
AUTHOR:No one knows who wrote the Book of Job, when it was written, when its events occured, or where Job lived. Suggestions on who may have authored the book include Job himself, Elihu (the fourth friend, who spoke toward the end of the book, chaps.32-37), Moses, Solomon, Hezekiah, Isaiah, someone after the Babylonian Exile such as Ezra, and an anonymous author 200 years before Christ. Jewish tradition says that Moses wrote the book. Others argue for Solomon as the author because of his interest in poetic literature (Prov., Ecc., and Song of Solomon) and a few similarites between Job and Proverbs (e.g., Prov. 8 and Job 28) The details of the lengthy converstions recorded in the Book of Job give the impression that it was written by an eyewitness. In Old Testament times a person sometimes recorded events about himself in the third person. Some scholars suggest that the Book of Job was complied over many years by several authors and editors, each of whom added small portions to the inital work. However, numerous features point to a single author and many cross references within the book point to its unity. DATE:Views on the time when Job lived range all the way from the Patriarchal Age (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-approximately 2100 to 1900 B.C.) the the sixth century B.C. |

12 | Why could Moses not enter the tabernacle | Ex 40:35 | Thomass | 73407 | ||
The Holy of Most Holy Place within the tabernacle (where God resided)was forbidden to all but the priest, who had to go through the ceremony of being consecrated before they could even be allowed in. See Leviticus 8.Moses consecrated the tabernacle and everything in it by sprinkling them with the anointing oil. Moses also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to consecrate him. The purpose of these anointings was to set apart the tabernacle, the various furnishings, and the priest who ministered in the sanctuary as most holy to the Lord. I hope this answers the first part of your question. The second part, I think refers to the Holy Spirit, living within us, God's pleasure with us. | ||||||

14 | Why was Satan allowed amon the sons of G | Job | Thomass | 73394 | ||
To prove to satan that Job was a faithful servant and would not curse Him or deny Him, no matter what the circumstances. Satan was a fallen angel, who use to reside in heaven. | ||||||
15 | Why did Job love God? | Job | Thomass | 73392 | ||
Read the 9;12;19;23;26; and 42 chapters of Job, where he talks of declaration of God's greatness. In chapter 9,Job tells of God's awesome power and God's arbitrary power, In chapter 12, Job tells of God's wisdom and power. In chapter 19, Job speaks of the certainty of seeing God one day. In chapter 26, Job speaks of God's majesty in nature. And when you think about it, how can you not love one that has bought you into existence, has substained you through out, and gives you his added protection. God had watched over him and blessed him.(10:12) Also God guided him through the darkness of difficulties, befriended him, and was with him. Job's experience billboards the truth that man's worship of God does not stem from a businesslike contract, whereby he earns material rewards from God. Man's relationship to God is not a juridical arrangement in which He is obligated to reward man for every good act. Instead, man is to trust God, worship Him regardless of his circumstances, and rely on the perfections of His character even when God's ways are not fully understood. Job realized that God is incharge, that God still loves him and cares for him. Job did not receive explanations regarding his problems; but he did come to a much deeper sense of the majesty and loving care of God. He came to trust God more fully, knowing that His ways should not be challenged. Though often inexplicable and mysterious, God's plans are benevolent and beneficial. | ||||||
16 | Who did God say he highly favored? | Luke 1:26 | Thomass | 73383 | ||
Mary. In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. |
||||||
17 | Who was Elihu? | Job | Thomass | 73376 | ||
Elihu viewed himself as an equal with Job for both, he said, were created by God. Elihu said he was made by God (the Holy Spirit is involved in creating man) and given life by the breath of the Almighty (Job 33:1-4). And Elihu was not condemned by God in 42:7-8 along with Elihaz and his two companions probably because Elihu was closer to the truth than were the other three. The bible just mentions Elihu as a young by-stander, who had listen to Job and his friends (Job 32). | ||||||
18 | Why did Job suffer? | Job | Thomass | 73375 | ||
Job was blameless and upright (not deviating from God's standards). Also he feared God (he revered and submitted to God's majesty) and he shunned evil. It just so happened that satan was roaming back and forth through the earth, looking for those whom he could accuse and dominate. The Lord spoke of Job by the honorable title my servant and referred to him as a supreme example of piety. "There is no one on earth like him". God pointed out that satan could not dominate Job. So satan responded by attacking Job's motives. Satan thought if Job were to lose his wealth and children that he would then curse God. So God allowed this to happen through his permissive will. When that didn't work, satan wanted to take Job's health from him. When it comes right down to it, there is nothing on earth that satan can do without the okay from God. So to answer your question: "It was a test to see if Job really loved and honored the Lord". As true Christians we will come across suffering in our lives, whether it be false persecution, health problems, etc., The devil only bothers those that live for the Lord and do his will here on earth. | ||||||
19 | Why is there suffering? | Job | Thomass | 73374 | ||
Many individiuals can identify with Job, whose distresses were agonizingly prolonged and so seeminly unfair. Many people wonder why they should undergo affliction, why they should experience tragedy, heartache, and adversity. for anyone, suffering is hard to comprehend, but especially so when it strikes the undeserving, The Book of Job address the mystery of unmerited misery, showing that in adversity God may have other purposes besides retribution for wrong doing. You also have to ask the question: If I'm never put to the test, then how can I have a testimony? | ||||||
20 | Length of Job's Suffering | Job | Thomass | 73371 | ||
Following his terrible ordeal, Job lived 140 years. If he was about 70 when the calamities struck, he live to be about 210. According to Jewish tradition, his latter years (140) were exactly twice the number of his former ones (70). Job saw his descendants to the fourth generation. that is, he lived to see great-great-grandchildren. The scripture doesn't give an exact number of years that he suffered.See Job 42:16-17 | ||||||
