1 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | BradK | 156981 | ||
Dear Gary, Thank you so much for your clearer explanation of what you meant and where you're coming from! Though I'm not in complete agreement with everything you said, it would be difficult to argue with the sincerity of heart in which you communicated:-) I commend you for your honesty and humility, brother. As I've said several times before, true communication only occures when both parties have understood each other. Let me offer 3 comments on what you said, hopefuly to clarify: 1. The purpose of the scriptures is to reveal a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, 2. The purpose of prophecy- whether it be Daniel, Ezekiel, or Revelation- is to reveal, "the spirit of prophecy", the Lord Jesus Christ ( Rev. 19:10) 3. Job said in 42:5, "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee." I would offer that the purpose of the book of Job is not to (just) explain suffering, but rather to reveal God! It answers the question of "Why do the righteous worship when they suffer". Job said he knew Him- not just about Him- but, a deep, abiding, intimate, personal relationship- for Who He really is. That's why he could say what he did. Thanks for checking out my User Profile to better aquaint yourself with where I'm coming from. Also, feel free to contribute to the Forum, though it might benefit you to follow some of the dialog and to get a better feel for what types of questions are asked and how they are answered. I appreciate you, my brother. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Thankyou Brad, I shall do as you have suggested. It is interesting that you have brought the book of Job up, as you are correct he did have an intimate relationship with the Lord. I also am now looking at it with view of 'why do the righteous worship when they suffer' at the moment the Lord is giving me some insight on this book and I would like to share it with you and see what you think. However I am unsure as yet on bible forum ettiquette so would be grateful for your direction. Thanks again Gary139 |
