2 | Do Eliphaz' words constitute truth? | Gen 1:1 | Truthfinder | 81381 | ||
Hi Estabon, Job’s critic Eliphaz said: “For man himself is born for trouble.” (Job 5:7) However, to his faithful followers, notice what Jesus said: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God, exercise faith also in me.” (John 14:1) So a wise person will say to God: “You are my refuge and my stronghold.” He will seek protection from danger by exercising “faith in God.” Self-righteousness may also promote the view that if a Christian is undergoing many personal difficulties, he must be spiritually deficient. That is precisely what self-righteous Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar thought about faithful Job. They did not have a complete picture of the situation, so it was presumptuous for them to accuse Job of wrongdoing. So my answer would be NO to your question. Truthfinder |

Thanks for your reply Truthfinder. Even Job's own words from 14:1 have been taken to be God's last words on man's trouble. I believe Jesus has more for us - note John 16:33. | ||||||
