Job Chapter 1 Discussion Page 9

Job knew that he has a loving God and that God would not do anything that was not ment to be. As God knew him before he knew his self.

greatchen: the "lost" babies were never replaced. God gave Job double everything except the babies because the "first set" still lives..in heaven of course.

I agree with Warren for the most part. Yet, I believe the unseen world should be taken literally, because I believe it to be as real as the air we breathe.

He was explaining that everything he had found at earth and will take them nowhere when he died.

I truly think God wanted our attention by present and job trials and tribulation, no matter how hard satan try to distract destroy our lives that we should remain faithful and true to him... God is saying this is the way we ought to believe and trust in him no matter what situation we face in our lives...

I find it very sad so far but I know it turns out well n the end I just don't understand when everything is returned to job how can u replace the family you once had it's kinda like loosing a new born baby n replace it by having a new baby??? I'm confused about that

it challenges me on how to react towards the report i get..job reacted swiftly and never querried God.

I want to be like job I think he is a grate man and if I try to live like him my life will be a lot more better in every thing I do

If all people on earth could stand loyal to God as Job did even when he had nothing he still gave God praises

the is the man how belives in GOD.LORD JESUS give me strenght and wisdom and love for me to waship u the way job did, he washiped and hourned u even if everything was taken away from him..i want to waship U in trueth

In chapter one of Job verse five, Job prays for the sins of his sons. Is it all right to pray for a loved ones particular sin, even though you know they need to ask for forgiveness?

"The Lord gives": God, through Jesus, offers mankind salvation and redemption. i.e. He wants to give mankind eternal life.
"The Lord takes: God is willing take away the wages of sin if we accept the message of The Cross.

May God help us to be like Job

Ok, so THIS particular part of the bible is not to be taken literally. But the others are? Or some of them? Which ones are, which ones are not? I am confused. Also to who has authority to tell me which is the one or the other...

JOB KNOWS THE LORD AND HIS OBEDIENT TO GOD.AND DOESN'T WANT TO UPSET GOD IN ANYWAY.EVEN THOUGH HE LOST EVERYTHING HE KNEW THAT GOD SAID I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKEN YOU.AND HE FOUGHT THE DEVILS TEMPTATIONS.HALELUYA.!!!!!!!

Job was NOT perfect... just saved.

God make me to be like job

Looks like no matter how well you follow god's policies he can turn on you. Ten people killed who apparently didn't deserve their fate. Job lost everything yet behaved perfectly. I suppose job must have been a major irritation to Satan.By Daring god to prove that job was flawless and initiating the subsequent events Satan certainly got the last laugh.

HOW I WISH I WAS LIKE JOB VS 20-22

The book of Job has helped me out in so many ways. I wish I was like Job, in the first 2 chapters, with all the faith he had unto God.

Book of Matthew Chp 1 gives the genealogy of Jesus back to Adam who is then called the 'son of God'. Except for Jesus the others are not called 'sons of god'. Adam was the 'original'human-kind' created by God. The others (except Jsus)were procreations and decendents of that 'original'. Adam was to be thje 'King' over planet earth. Satan cunningly got Adam to willingly handover that kingship of the planet to him. Satan is now king/god of this world. Adam as the 'son of God' (Jesus is the Son)was to have been present at the heavenly conference instead Satan represented human-kind.
The 'sons of God' in attendance were not necessarily humans or angels but 'original beings' from unfallen worlds/dimendtions/worlds etc They were there to give progress reports on their respective mandates. Adam's was to'tend the garden of Eden and take dominion over the earth by 'multiply(ing) and be fruitful, to replenish and take dominion over the earth which was in chaos.

A blesing from God comes because of your faithfulness unto God

I wish i was like job in the first two chapters...he had alot of faith even though all that he had was gone..jesus please help us to be lik job..

God loves us so much that He builds a hedge around us but there will be a time where He allows satan to come and test our love and faith in Him and in all that God expect us not to sin.

everything belongs to God..we are just but stewards

I TAKE THE BIBLE AS IT SAYS. SONS OF ,GOD, IS THE MEN THAT WORSHIP ,HIM,. I THINK IT TOOK PLACE ON THE EARTH. SATAN CAME AS A UNINVITED PARTY.BUT A LOT IS STILL LEFT TO SAY, THAT I CAN'T ANSWER. THANKS

About vs 6 Satan is no longer a son of God, he has already rebelled and has been put out.
Also I agree with RC comments, its not that Job wasn't weak our human like us, he was but he had tremendous faith not to curse God even though he couldn't understand why this was happening to him, because Job himself said he was upright, and these things happen basically to the unrighteous. But none the less, he did his amount of questioning an d lamenting.
Thank God for His faithfulness and understanding.
And Yes, satan accuses us before God, of course only those who profess Chirst. As is recorded in Zechariah 3. God wants faithful followers.

On verse 6 of job it says that the sons of GOD presented them selves and then satan, You would think in this verse satan is a son of GOD. What do you think.

it really surprises me that everyone thinks job was so strong and never doubted God. i guess you really never read what Job does in the last few chapters. he gave up and like all the rest of weak spirted people blamed God and wished he was never born. I know God is merciful and new what Job was made of so he spared him but just remember job was weak although he held out a lot longer than i would. Still god blessed him in the end.

@okeyomilarry... Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelations 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time
