Discuss Job 1 Page 16

Who are these son's of G-d in v6. I though Jesus was meant to be the only son, but here we see there are more?! If 'son' here just means angel, then everywhere it should mean angel and not be literal - you can't have it both ways - please explain, someone...

I am going through something really emotional right now in my life and I know that Satan is out to get me with my illness by making me believe that I'll never get better. The thing is that right now I am not going to church, but have always and will always have my faith in our Lord. I know right now I am dealing with my hyperthyroidism and my hair falling out to where you could see my scalp, but I am not giving up my faith and faith in him that he is going to heal me. Maybe not right now, but on his time.

The book of job is an inspiring story and it helps me make sense of my life...........Geeez life is so hard, i feel as though the devil is winning.

I think Job is what all people go through at a different level maybe not as extreme. However if we hold fast understanding that the enemy has his game plan and that God has his. Then we shall see that the victory is won through us. When you dont feel the Lord near do you not still call him until you do?

Anytime I read about Job, I remember my late Uncle popularly known as Uncle Sam. My Uncle’s question was, do you think this Job story is true? And the answer I always gave him is, because the Bible is saying it, it is true. Uncles Sam main worry was, how can one exist on this earth without transgression ( Job 1:1) even as the Psalms 51: 1, made it known to us that it was through sin did our mother conceive us.
But what we need to note in this Psalms 51: 1, was prayer being offered to God by David, but Job 1:1 clearly indicates God testifying about Job being perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil . this tell us we can live on this earth without sinning against God and mankind, if we do what the Bible ask us to do, and do not what the Bible ask us not to do. We have the Holy Spirit to help us and with our determination, we can live a perfect life on this earth.
Well God testify about your LIFE too? If the answer is yes, what will this/theses testimony be about? Thing about it!!!

We are told to have the patience of Job, as we wait for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Job said all the days of my appointed time I will wait for my change to come. He also said God knows the way that I shall take, and when I come out of this trial I will be as pure gold. Job's statement of faith the LORD gives and takes away, and blessed be the name of the LORD should be ours. We must continue to praise God, pray for our family, and wait on the LORD. Our confession of faith should be as Job, and know that what ever happens to us has to be approved by God. We will be blessed in the end of the trial as long as we give God the glory. I thank God for the book of Job, and I strive to have his faith.

Heaven is the spiritual realm all around us, Gen.22:11 "And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said here am I."
There are many accounts of angelic encounters throughout the scriptures, angels seen by mortal men, when these angels are not visible to the human eye that doesn't mean that they have vanished, but that they are only visible in the spiritual realm.
Rev. 1:10 John says " I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,and heard behind me a great voice,as of a trumpet"
John goes on to say the amazing things that he saw while in the Spirit. Not only does the spiritual realm of Heaven contain the angels, it also is presently home to the demons and the devil.
Job 1: 6 & 7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence cometh thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, form coming to and fro in the earth (natural realm) and from walking up and down in it.
Rev 12:8&9 "... neither was their place found any more in heaven(spiritual realm) (9) And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth (natural realm) and his angels with him."
This is a bit scary to me, to think that Satan and his angels will be in a visible form, and maybe they are here now, some people do some pretty unimaginable things, but here is where hope lies
Rev. 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."
The new heaven and the new earth will be one just like it was in the garden of Eden. How wonderful it will be, Amen. Let us not "bite" at each other lest we be devoured and let our comments be for the growth of the body of Christ our Saviour. The scribes and the pharisees were religious, let us not be like that.
Religion is man made, we are God made.

God bless

I have learned of the story before and it was presented again at church yesterday and I was even more enlightened.

The story of Job is simple and inspiring. The devil studies human beings and has a good idea of what makes us decide to remain rightgeous or wayward. Satan believed that Job would waiver from being such a faithful servant to God if he would take away his worldy possessions. When that didn't work, Satan again challenged God stating that Job would curse God to his face if he threathen him(health and stregnth). Satan was wrong and Job was rewarded in the end with double of his original possessions and children.

What I get out of this story is to watch my motives with God and not to waver my faithfullness and love towards him based on what HE can do for me. But to love HIM because of who HE is no matter my circumstances.

Great Story!

job was a just man who feared god and committed to his ways.His exemplary life indicates that as Christians we need to hold unto god ,trust him, in terms of difficulties and affliction.And when we do these things by enduring,victory will always be ours.So steadfastness is really important as Christians

Job was a faithfull servant of God he knew one day he will be judged by the Almighty therefore he needed to do everything possible to escape that judgement, onething we humans must know is that God never tempts nobody it is our desires that tempts us so lets be carefull of bad desires.

i think Job is a man who really have given God everything and he dont really ascribe anything to satan power but know technically that God is in charge no matter what happen in that line of thought he was a able to maintain his stand without shaking inrespective of what happen, to give everything to God is to be with Him though he was in earth and have valuable goods but God was everthing to him.so Jesus said seek the kingdom and his righteousness then every other thing shall be added.Job was a man who seek and know God.

Job prayed for his children; made sacrifice on their behalf; was concerned for their souls. When his children were taken, he was heartbroken. We who have children need to pray for them, not just for their personal safety, but for their souls. Sometimes God allows children to be taken in death from us; that was the worst day of my life. But God was with me. I pray for my remaining child; she is an adult now; I would be devastated if any thing happened to her. But our children are on loan from the LORD. They are a gift from God. We need to cherish them, nurture them, train them up in God's Word. We never know when we will have our last day with them.

A better translation is "Are you after my servant Job?" Of course the Lord knew Satan was and the hedge of protection that God has put around each of us, had a hole in it... Job's fear allowed Satan access to his life (NOT GOD!!!) so that "what he feared most" came upon him. Satan works through fear. God knew that Job was in Satan's hands because of his fear and worry.

Job was a believer of christ and had a lot of faith.

God identify Jod as perfect and upright and one that feareth Him, I then believe that perfect is a reachable state of being because God conclude that it is, I also believe because of Gods statement Job being upright is another state of being now this is the one that get me God decleares that Job feareth Him, so hear is my conclusion (1) You can be perfect in what ever you aply yourself to be (2)You choose weather you are upright in how you deal with people you come in contact with in buisness or social circles, (3)God is honoured when you show that he is the reason why you choose to be upright in the things that we do demonstrating our fear of his judgement. conclusion I can be perfect, upright and have a fear for God and it will bring me closer to the Kingdom that Jesus ask us to seek

Job is a good role model for faith. All other problems seem so mild compared to what he went through and he never fully understood why it all happened.

I thank GOD that what ever job went through he still thank GOD and rememberd God. its like us we go through trials and it moves us but no matter what happend to him he never gave up on GOD we should learn from this and as i was reading this i was thinking about satin told GOD that he will curse YOU to thy faces its like when the devil temps us he wants to see if we will curse GOD to his face think about it before you fall.or when u go through a trial.

I believe that the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 were fallen angels. One reason why is because angels are called "sons of God" in Job 1:6, 2:1 38:7, plus it says in 2 Peter 2:4, "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment"
What was their sin? It couldn't have been the sin of rebellion, because otherwise, all the fallen angels would be in hell, and we know that they are not. Only some of the fallen angels married women of the earth and sired children who ended up being giants, and that was the sin that 2 Peter 2:4 is talking about, and Jude 6 speaks more about that sin, it speaks of angels that kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation. A group of fallen angels did not keep their first estate, but left it to come down to earth and either took on human form or possessed the bodys of earth men and mated with earth women, and the result was a race of giants, and that was the sin that 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 is talking about. If "sons of God" in Genesis 6 were the line of seth or just men in general, why does it use the word "men" then "sons of God" if men and sons of God both refer to men? The word "men" is in verse 1, and "sons of God" and "men" are in verse 2. "sons of God" and "men" are in verse 4. "sons of God" and "men" must be two different types of beings, otherwise, why not just use the word "men" instead of "sons of God" as well?

If the sons of God were the godly line of Seth who were unequally yoked together with the ungodly daughters of Cain, I doubt that that would cause their offspring to be giants. They were giant in size because in Numbers 13:33 it says, "And there we saw the giants {nephelim in Hebrew} and it goes on to say, "and we were in our own sight grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. So the nephelim in Gen. 6 must have been giant is size just like the nephelim in Numbers 13, and something happened to make them giant sized, and it could not have been because of godly men marrying ungodly women. Something else went on to make them giants, and that was the unnatural union between angels and earth women who married and had sex.

how great it is... to have Job's Faith

I feel as job, when I’ve had any lost I’ve always looked to my father in heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ. I love him and I know he loves me. Just as he gives he will take back or allow it to be taken to show you that no matter what happen he is with you. Never underestimate the power of the Lord. You are tested at your weeks hours of hopelessness. This is why you should keep your hold on the Lord, I just could never have it any other way.

I think job was a true believer of Christ and who is spiritual an have a lot of faith

He went through so many trials and tribulations and he still had faith in God! I think Job is a good example of what Christians should be like. No matter what happens in your life God can bring you throught it. Glory be to God!

Job was a man who did what was require of God. He walk away from his flesh or the desires of others to do the will of God. This is the foundation of how men and women can stand in the tough times. Surely remember tough times has to come; it is just the way its. Job gave his heart to God and nothing else mattered.
This is my thoughts of Job 1:1

V.21. Only some logical thoughts. Job said ...and the Lord has taken away. Job, likely did not have Vs. 8-12 as we do now, telling us that it was Satan who took all his children and posessions in an attempt to disprove Job's loyalty. During much loss and suffering, Job maintained his integrity for God. Might this loving, caring God also permit evil powers to torment us for the same reason? I don't think so since our security is in Christ and He has already won the battle for us. Lets live for Jesus. Blessed be His name.

God is not allowing Satan to do anything to Job. God doesn't give him permission. It never says that. As a matter of truth, in chapter 3, Job tells you exactly what caused his problems...FEAR, Job 3:25 the thing Job greatly feared came upon him. Fear is the cause, not God. God's will is His Word. He doesn't work under "permissive will" and his will isn't sickness and death. If it was, Jesus would not have needed to die for our sins, nor take stripes for our healing!

Helps show us to have patients with GOD, He's always in control. Our rewards arn't in this world but the world to come. Truating Jesus our LORD.
Thank GOD for this study of JOB TO HELP ME THROUGHT THIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD.

This give more clarity to Genesis 6. I am very much pleased with this bible site.

Sure, Satan's doing the bad stuff to Job. But God's letting him. Seems to me that we have to place at least some of the fault on God here...

Job faith was high in chapter #2. Now in chapter #3 job deplores his birth. His mind became a battle field due to Satan attack. The Word of God is teaching us that steadfast faith is a trail in lie.it could be High, medium and go to it's lowest peak like job. However, we must remember 1 peter verse 5:8 and also Isaiah 54 : vereses 17-18.

chapter #1 from vs 6 satan attacks job's character
satan is very bold. God limit satan power,he is infite and not all -powerful.It was satan who planned and implemented job's suffering. God may have allow satan to test job for a time.verse 12 read 1 Cor 10:13 God's children must go through trials we just have to be like Job stay strong in faith and humility.
