Subject: Job DID charge God foolishly? |
Bible Note: Dear Bro. Lionstrong. This is a profitable discussion and I believe can help both of us. I believe Job 40:7-8 taken together with 42:6 shows that God reproves Job of false accusation and Job reponds with repentance. The word condemn in 40:8 is translated "wicked or wickedly" 4 times in the book of Job alone.Notice also that God's vindication of Job in 42:7 came just after Job's repentance in 42:6. I believe the root issue is here is the soveriegnty of God. Ultimately God can do anything He wants to do regardless of what we think or if we understand it or not. The truth is is that every single one of us could be severely rebuked by God even at times that we are closest in our walk with Him. So saying that Job did not charge God foolishly is to say that we know exactly why God rebuked him, which we don't. |
