Is God Perfect?

[Cheri]

Job didn't complain? I think it s better if you refresh your memory by reading Job again in bible.

When I said "complain" When all Job's possession were taken from him, Job did not blamed it on God, also when Job was sick, it was so painful and uncomfortable, yet he did not curse God. Even when he was complaining, He still did not curse God.

You said other posts that Eve and Adam are adult to make their own choice and now you said that they must accept the consequences with those choices. It sound illogical to me.

How is that illogical? Every action has consequences.

Every choice that we make in life has consequences, some good, some bad.

That is totally logical.

Adam and Eve were adults. They made choices. They had to accept the consequences of their choices.

What is illogical about that?

God gave Eve and Adam freewill to make their choice which mean is their own choice.

Right. Adam and Eve made their own choice to disobey God.

To me, yes they were "children" because they were very first couple on the earth and too naive and little knowledge. They need being feed by God what right or wrong like what we feed our children what right or wrong.

Adam and Eve were created as full adults. God gave them all the knowledge that they needed. God warned them about the penalty for disobedience. It was their decision to ignore what God told them.

Many?, nope but a few people. Those answer doesn´t support my logic.

Maybe it's because your logic is wrong.

I thought you know which specialist what I referred to?

To which "specialist" do you go to get eternal life?

Do we have different bible ?

Job 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Job 9:13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Job 9:14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
Job 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Job 14:3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

I hope above verses will make you understand that in fact, Job did complain and curse to God.

Job did not curse God.

Job 2
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

We all know that bible is open to interpretation. So in your view, he did not but in my view, yes he did.

Re-read my post regarding verses clearly shown that Job complained and cussed at God.

From reading my bible it told me that Job wife did try to encourage Job to curse at God but he never did.

Those verses are Job whining why why why why did this all happen why why

But if you read to the near end of Job you will see that Job did asked forgiveness for all of his whining.

This is calling "complaining" If you interpret it to be "whining" , it s same thing with complaining.

To me, yes they wree "toddler" because they have no knowledge what right and wrong because every toddlers have no knowledge what it is about.

Maybe that's the way you see it but that's not what the Bible said.

I do not see anything where I say about adults but toddlers and children. I do not find any posts, I posted the word about adults. If you claimed I did then show me please.

This is what I asked you:

"Are you still going to control your sons' actions when they are adults?"

It's a simple question. It's not a "claim". It's not about a previous post. It's just a question.

This is your opinion.

No, it's not an opinion. It's a fact. Adam and Eve were not children. They were fully developed adults.

Does this sound like a description of children?

Genesis 2
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

This is very plain:

Of course complaining isn't a sin

Lol I missed ur post, I was looking for the verse.

Yes, vain in the name of God is a sin.

 

[Reba]

...Yes, Adam and Eve were God´s creation children. He put Eve and Adam on the earth... they were first couple on the earth with no knowledge... I would call it as "toddler" because they have no knowledge what good or bad.

God created Adam and Eve but they weren't children. They were adults.

Adam and Eve had knowledge because God specifically told them not to eat that fruit. They had full knowledge of that, and the penalty that would result.

You can "call it" whatever you want but they were still fully developed and knowing adults.

At least you are now calling them God's creation and the "first couple"; that's a start in the right direction.

 

[lumbingmi]

Yes, vain in the name of God is a sin.

And complaining is not sin, correct? Job did complain

 

[Reba]

Of course complaining isn't a sin

After Job lost everything:

Job 1
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

 

[Cheri]

And complaining is not sin, correct? Job did complain

You're confused, complaining in the name of God is a sin, Job did not curse or complained in the name of God.

Please do not twisted my words, ask me if you do not understand.

 

[TechBill]

And complaining is not sin, correct? Job did complain

You can complain or whine all you want as long you don't blame God for it.

Job whine why this is happening or whine what did he do wrong to make God angry at him to allow this happen but he never said cursed at God ie It all your fault God! You did this to me God! I am not gonna be faithful to you anymore God!

but remember Satan told God that Job only was faithful to God because he was rich and blessed with many good thing and Job never knew at first that it was Satan doing all the suffering to Job and God only wanted to show to Satan that Job will remain faithful to God without all the richess Job have gather during his life.

To my view, the dead children and pets alway NEVER get replacement.

The animals that Job lost weren't "pets".

The children that Job lost weren't "replaced". They were added.

Notice:

Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Job 42
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.


At the end, God gave Job twice as many animals than before but He gave Job only the same number of children. Why? Because Job's first 10 children were waiting for him in Paradise. Eventually Job would be reunited with his original 10 children, and the second set of 10 children; that equals 20 children total. So in the end, Job was blessed with twice as many children than he had at the beginning.
