1 | a righteous man | Job 1:8 | stjones | 58222 | ||
Hi, Darktanianxx; Unless God was being sarcastic in this verse, I have to disagree with your observations about Job's pride. I'll take God at his word; He considered Job "upright and blameless" [NIV]. Granted, there were times when Job was defending himself to his friends that he may have sounded a little prideful. It's hard to avoid speaking well of oneself when answering false accusations. Don't forget what God said to Eliphaz, one of those who accused Job: "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." (42:7) Indeed, if Job was just being punished for his sin then the story has no distinctive message at all. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

2 | a righteous man | Job 1:8 | Darktanianxx | 58239 | ||
steve, read 42:6.....Job says "Therefore I loath my words, and abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes."........ God was angry at Eliphaz because he did not repent for his words!.."I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." Job was trusting in his own righteousness and God allowed him to be chastened. I stand by what I have previously written. Grace to you! :) | ||||||

Greetings, Darktanianxx; I don't agree that Job's own words to God override what God said about him. Job was repentng of his near-blasphemey during his arguments with his friends. But we can agree to disagree. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
