1 | I'm still not clear | Job 40:15 | heapshake | 38114 | ||
I'm still not clear why it can't be another part of the cedar. Even if it is "stiff like a cedar" can't it be stiff like a limb or needle? Why trunk? | ||||||
2 | I'm still not clear | Job 40:15 | Searcher56 | 38130 | ||
If I would say he looks like a cedar, would you look at the - main portion - the trunk - whole tree - roots - branches - leaves No matter which, it is the trunk, based on how people wrote in that time. |

I would look at whomever you are describing and see what part he looks like. If I can't - I'd ask more questions. Could you provide me with some evidence that that is how people wrote? |

Greetings heapshake, Why are you continuing this discussion? Is it for the sake of arguing? Searcher56 has answered your question, and so have I. Is there anything to be gained in continuing this fruitless discussion? To what end do you seek? Are you honestly asking this question out of sincerity? Searcher56 has no need of continuing to defend his answer or to answer any of these 'cedar' questions. - Makarios |

No it isn't for the sake of arguing. When I read that verse it doesn't jump out to me that it is talking about the trunk. I was trying to find reasons to believe that it did refer to the trunk. I don't have a problem with it being a trunk, limb, or needle. "No" didn't provide me with any info as to why it couldn't be. Your answer just changed it from being "bend" to "stiff" but didn't deal with stiff as what. Searcher56's last answer was what I was trying to get, but I would like to know what the reasons are for this answer. I'm looking for clarification. I don't doubt Searcher56's answer, but when someone asks me "Why can't it be a needle" I won't get very far saying Searcher56 says it can't. |

Thank you, heapshake, for clearing that up. I appreciate your willingness and efforts to solidify an answer, and I apologize for accusing you of continuing to argue with Searcher for the sake of arguing. I pray that Searcher56 will be able to provide you with the answer that you are looking for. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Its not a problem. This topic recently came up and I was just looking for something solid to base my reasons on. I'm not sure it has to deal with any one aspect of a cedar but probably deals with the cedar as a whole. When someone says "he swims like a fish" most people don't say which part of the fish are you refering to. However I can see that bending like a cedar could be unclear. | ||||||

Heapshake, be of good cheer for I have the answer (or so I'd like to think.) The passage is talking about the cedar as whole, specifically the trunk which is more flexible compared with other trees which grow as tall and wide as cedars, e.g. the oak tree. | ||||||
