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 Continue reading

In these two books, Job answers Eliphaz as well as praying to God. And wow, you really have to concentrate. You have to read, and re-read, and study each word closely to even come close to understanding. Or perhaps it is just me; maybe it is just difficult for my simple mind to comprehend. It Continue reading

Today, we continue where Eliphaz left off yesterday. And he starts by praising God and acknowledging all of the great things He has done. And he mentions that God does good for those who seek Him. And then, he just starts touching on an accusation, not full out an blatant accusation, that Job has done Continue reading

And now, things get complicated. The language becomes more confusing and difficult to understand. I can come up with some assemblance of understanding for about the first half of the chapter, but the last half is beyond my ability to understand. Again I say, I’m not a smart man. It makes me want to reach Continue reading

Most of the Book of Job is dialogue between he and his friends, and it is set up so that one chapter is Job saying his peace, then the next chapter is a friend who is responding to what he said. This goes back and forth, chapter by chapter, Job debated with his friends. And Continue reading

Now, Job has three friends that enter the picture, and here is where it gets really confusing to me.

Perhaps this time, when I study it, then put my notes and thoughts in writing, I will do Continue reading

1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth Continue reading

I believe it was Ernest Hemingway who said that the Book of Job was the greatest literary work, perhaps, of all time. My sister says the Book of Job is her favorite book of the Bible. I on the other hand, really have a hard time understanding it. At one minute it all makes perfect Continue reading

As I stated before, we all descended from Noah’s family; they were the only survivors of the Great Flood. At face value, this scripture is just another documentation on Bible geneaology, to some of which, could be boring. But you don’t want to miss out on the important points. Shem, obviously one of Noah’s sons, Continue reading

Even after the world was destroyed by the flood, man did not learn his lesson. We are literally born into sin; man was created perfect, righteous, sinless, but sin changed all of that. From birth, our thoughts are all sinful, starting out with selfishness, and we must be taught otherwise by the word of God. Continue reading
