God created man with a purpose. The Bible reading plan that I’m using this year currently has me reading the book of Ecclesiastes. “Vanity of vanities, says the preacher. All is vanity.” Maybe you remember reading it or hearing it. The preacher doesn’t end his book with futility. The God who...

God isn’t wrong about anything. They’re going to live in the coming perfect age. I think that’s a good analysis. What is your purpose? He probably calls it a paradox rather than a contradiction. I think your take on it is right. Paul knew it was going to happen and wrote about it...

You’re no intellectual match for him. He is the embodiment of the mind of God. Job wanted God to think. When God answered Job, Job repented. Not all of his followers were illiterate. In their discipleship they are wiser than atheists and agnostics. Sagan was a highly intelligent man and he...

All idols are worshipped as gods. The choice we are given in scripture is to choose between worshipping the one true God and the myriad of false gods. Job worshipped the one true God. The one true God is identified by his personal name in the book. *** @Riven so did Jesus - a Jewish...

@Riven do you know that Jesus himself is a Jewish monotheist? If you do, do you understand what that means?

You wouldn’t like Jesus’ teaching then. He isn’t going to spoon-feed you. He’s going to require you to think. Sagan asked the right question. The student didn’t define God (epic failure on his part) and neither did Sagan (he waffled on deism). Sagan didn’t represent himself as a follower of...

It’s a book of the Bible. The God of the Bible - Yahweh - is Job’s God. There is no God besides Job’s God. Everything else is idols. Idols exist. The demons are behind them.

Thanks. *** @Riven have you had an opportunity to watch the Carl Sagan video I recommended to you the other day? It’s pertinent to the fine argument @Behold posted as well as to Antony Flew’s book There Is A God. Both Sagan (who died an agnostic) and Flew (who died a theist) touched on the one...

Job isn’t an idolater. His God is the one God of the Bible and the book of Job is part of the Hebrew Bible.

“One of the great conceptions of the work of Jesus Christ, which runs through much of early Christian thought, and which is still dominant in the thought of the Greek Orthodox Church, is the idea of the deification of man because of what Jesus Christ has done. The who,e idea is summed up in one...
