GHansen Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 7 minutes ago, Rahab said: Living in a tent doesn’t make one perfect or righteous. But because he is humble and following God, he is not ostentatious. Therefore living by simple means seems to fit. What do you think? We agree on that! I guess my point would be that using the word "plain" to translate that Hebrew word is misleading. Certainly plain indicates what you say it does; however, would you be comfortable describing Job as a simple man rather than a perfect man? In today's terms, he would be described as a millionaire. He was highly respected in his community. People were in awe of him. He really wasn't a simple man in the sense that, say, John the Baptist or Elijah were.

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. as Bible describes Job, seems like he is a just man compared to others. Also we know how Satan attacked him and he remained faithful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.

GHansen Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 On 12/22/2021 at 8:29 AM, Rahab said: Propitiation for our sins ? 1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Other versions such as the WEB and the NRSV use the words "atoning sacrifice" instead of propitiation: "In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins." The Day of Atonement in Leviticus 25:9 might be considered the Day of Propitiation if the Greek Old Testament is consulted. phkrause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
