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. |

3 | Did Job have a second wife? | Job | Thomass | 73517 | ||
Hank: Prov. 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Prov. 15:1 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." So would you agree with me, that how we challenge people and talk to people must be done in a manner that is not demeaning to the other? Your first comment to me was way over the top with sarcasm, if you don't believe me reread it and then reread the one that you just sent to me. Imagine a world, where we practice what we preach. |

4 | What day is 'that day'? | John 16:23 | Thomass | 73516 | ||
John 16:23 Since Jesus would not be with them physically (in that day means after His Ascension)), they would not be able to ask Him questions. But the Holy Spirit would help them. (vv.13-15) | ||||||

6 | 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. |

7 | Did Job have a second wife? | Job | Thomass | 73501 | ||
I agree, but the only way to combat ignorance is to read the Bible for yourself. And the point is that is not really important whether Job had a second wife or not, that's not the point that God is trying make.God in His sovereignty can give; or hold back; blessings in accord with His purposes. Who are we to try and understnad His ways? I just want to live according to His purpose, as his servant! | ||||||
8 | Did Job have a second wife? | Job | Thomass | 73496 | ||
I'm sorry Hank, but did you not pose the question of whether Job had a second wife? If you will read my first posting, I did say that the Bible does not state whether he had a second wife or not. I did maintain that he had more children, so a wife had to be involved somewhere along the lines. It seems as though you are trying to pick a fight where there is none. I've spent a year studying the Book of Job and this question was brought up and every student had their opinion on if it was his wife or another woman. But that's all it was; an opinion. I do accept the scripture as given to me for Proverbs 30:5-6, says: "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. DO NOT add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar." Besides I'm pretty sure that the Bible said that they had camels and donkeys for transportation, not Rolls-Royce. | ||||||
9 | Why did Job love God? | Job | Thomass | 73492 | ||
You must have faith first! Unshakeable, unbreakable faith and just believe with all your heart. DO NOT wavier, be steadfast. Read I Corinthians 2 chapter. Keep reading your Bible and maybe take a study course on the Bible, a book at a time. Have you confess your sins to God and been baptized? Have you ask him to make you into a new creature, leaving your old habits and mind sets behind? You also have to remember that God works in his own time, not ours. I'm not sure of your circumstances or what you're waiting to get. So I can't really comment on that. Just have you made a change in your life for Christ? | ||||||
10 | Did Job have a second wife? | Job | Thomass | 73426 | ||
I agree with you. But why would God restore to Job twice as much as he had,before calamity struck and allow him to keep a wife that told him to curse God and die!!?? Everything restored to Job was newer and better, that could include a wife. | ||||||

12 | 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. |

13 | 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! | ||||||
14 | 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. | ||||||
15 | 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!! | ||||||
16 | Why was Satan allowed amon the sons of G | Job | Thomass | 73414 | ||
Jesus entered heaven when he rose from the dead.To answer your second question: While the concept of Satan in heaven is difficult to comprehend, it is clear that he is now the accuser of saints. Though satan was defeated at the first coming of Christ (John 16:11). his execution was delayed and is in stages. Here it states that he will be cast out of heaven in the middle of the Tribulation. Later he will be bound for the duration of the millennial kingdom. The devil will be final thrown into the lake of burning sulfur (20:10) where the world ruler (Antichrist) and the false prophet will have been cast a thousand years earlier. | ||||||
17 | 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. | ||||||
18 | 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. |

20 | 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. | ||||||
