THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/job/28.htm In Chapter 28, Job discusses wisdom and where it can (mostly where it can’t) be found. Wisdom, in my belief, is something to be treasured; Solomon was praised for asking for wisdom when God told him he could have anything he wanted. Notice in Verse 28, the words “Abaddonc and Death” are both capitalized; Wikipedia says that Abaddon is a Hebrew word meaning a “bottomless pit”, and related to Sheol, or Hell. This word is… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/25.htm In this very short Chapter, Bildad offers another opinion. And some of it I agree with, but most of it I do not. I do not believe any man can be righteous…we are all born unto sin. But I do not believe God thinks of us as “maggots” or “worms”. God is not a supreme ruler looking down on His peasants, we are His children and He loves us more than we have the… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/20.htm These Chapters are a discourse between Job and Eliphaz, once again. I wish you luck in reading and in understanding. It is higher than my understanding, more refined than my comprehension. https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/21.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/22.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/23.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/24.htm Praying for your understanding of this text. Amen. Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/18.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/19.htm We can see a pattern here with the Book of Job where in one Chapter, his friends confront him and speak their opinion of how Job ended up in these circumstances, and in the next Chapter, or two, Job retorts. In Job 18, it is once again Bildad’s turn to offer insight or observation into Job’s situation, and then in Chapter 19, Job retorts. I don’t have to tell you what is said,… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/15.htm In Job 15, Eliphaz really starts being critical of Job, insinuating that he thinks he’s better than everyone else, that no one else has went through what Job is going through, so there is no way anyone else can understand. https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/16.htm In this Chapter, Job retorts to Eliphaz’s speech in Chapter 15, on how Eliphaz has no pity for Job. and calling him a “miserable comforter”. Job says if the tails were turned, he… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/job/14.htm The title of this chapter, added by publishers of the Bible, is “Job Laments His Death”. And once again, Job speaks so eloquently that is over my head; I’m not eloquent, I’m not smart, I’m just a simple man with simple words. But there are a few verses that I would like to bring out, and you will likely think I’m crazy (I am), but my beliefs go against the majority. And some people… Continue reading

There has to be a message within the Book of Job, not just a tale about a controversy between God and Satan. There are 42 chapters, and there is great information at the start and at the end, but in between, it is literature that is over my head. Sorry I’m not smart, but I’m not. And I would rather remain silent and let you read Job yourself, and make determinations yourself, than to plant… Continue reading

Is it better that your friends wholly and unconditionally support you in your dismay, whatever that may be, or is it better that your friends be truthful, no matter how bad the truth hurts, to honestly assess your problem and offer you help? I would suppose that would depend on the person receiving the help. And at first, Jobs friends just sat with him, in silence, for an entire week, to solace and comfort him,… Continue reading

In Job 9 (I will leave a link), Job answers Bildad, talking about all of the great things God is and does. He talks about how no mortal man can even begin to compare with God because there is no comparison. God is perfect. Then Job talks about the faults of man, and how man can’t even compare with God, doesn’t have the ability to challenge God. And while I have a hard time understanding… Continue reading

I’m here to remind you, I’m not a smart man. There are many things in Job that I can understand and comprehend, but there is much more that I don’t understand. I liken the language to the Parables Jesus speaks, I need understanding, just like the Disciples needed understand of Jesus Parables. And the Disciples didn’t rely on man to explain it to them, they asked Jesus directly what the Parables meant. And that is… Continue reading
