Job

[April_Rose]

To accuse Job of a sin of some sort makes you equal to one of his friends....

That he had to pray for in order for God not to strike them dead.

Just saying....

Actually, I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.

Job's friends kept saying that he was guilty of some sort of sin and that was why God was punishing him...

But at the end God said otherwise.

Oh, well except for Jesus aren't we all guilty of sin to a certain degree?

Yes....but when God has a friend or declares someone righteous... I've learned to just go with that and not argue with him over technicalities.

I said the same thing in context...post 46
Poor Job was grieving, covered with leprosy, needing encouragement, and totally isolated with no one to offer words of comfort....no what he got was a wife and some friends who told him to confess his sin, repent and die. SMH

Sounds as if you guys have an opinion of Job almost as high as he had of himself.

His friends accused him of what you are...he denied it too...

Difference is they were measuring him by his performance of the law, I measure by the knowledge of Christ, same a He did in the later part of the trial.

 

[Waiting on him]

Where were you Job?

 

[April_Rose]

Now I'm confused and don't know what's going on. :/

As I said, my hope for you is that you’ll one day hear Jesus as He speaks to and through His servant Job.

I am re reading job as it’s been interesting reading the posts here.......something I had not considered before , in the attacks on Job there are two that involved weather. The fire from God I presume is lightning and the second involving a hurricane. We know from the beginning that The Lord gave satan permission to ‘ test ‘ him. So does that mean that Satan can control the natural elements ?
I have always considered that hurricanes/ lightning ect were natural reactions or were within Gods control ( as with the flood and the dynamics of what happened when Jesus was on the cross ) I have never considered that they may be within Satan’s power to control and create.

I asked a genuine question, but no one answered it !
Perhaps it was a stupid question, perhaps you could let me know ! Rita

I don’t think it is a stupid question. It is a difficult question.

Agreed.

I don't know...
I do know that Jesus can control them.
He has demonstrated it in the past.

God is Sovereign.

@Heart2Soul Job though it all was commendably patient and faithful.

 

[VictoryinJesus]

@VictoryinJesus These words in Job are often taken as evidence of a sure hope of the resurrection.

That is why I’m not disputing but agree. Only suggested ‘did Job not see His redeemer lives’ ? In my ears had heard of thee but now my eye has seen you’?

not disputing hope. only question what body do we hope to be given? 1 Corinthians 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
^ 1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,)

James 1:9-11 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: [10] But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. [11] For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

1 Corinthians 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

^ 1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,)

1 Peter 1:23-25 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. [24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

What is ‘raised up a spiritual body’? How many members?
