    According to bible scholars, the book of Job is the oldest in the Bible. Although it is the oldest, there is a passage in Genesis that mentions Job. Job, oldest book of the Bible Genesis, the first book in the Bible, is not the oldest book written. The Bible is not arranged chronologically. And apparently, Job is the earliest book and the oldest. But the surprising thing is, the character Job was actually found in the book of Genesis. Genesis 36:33 says, “When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah became king in his place.” Scholars have proven that Jobab mentioned in the above passage is actually Job. Author and minister Lisbeth F. G. explained, “We know Jacob had a twin brother called Esau, who had 4 sons, one of them named Eliphaz. (1 Chronicles 1:35) Within the book of Job, we find Job had three friends, who came to talk with him; one man was called Eliphaz (Job 2:11).” “Thus, the relationship between Job and Eliphaz may be proven by connecting Genesis 36, 1 Chronicles 1, and Job 2. However, some may say that the people in the book of Job reference a different Job and a different Eliphaz. Are there any other scriptures which might further connect them? Yes!” She continued, “In Eliphaz’s talk to Job he said, “What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us? With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.” Job 15:9,10. Eliphaz mentioned Job’s father, and he indicated that he knew him.” Job’s Hebrew Moreover, Lisbeth discussed Job’s Hebrew is much older than that of Moses when he wrote the Pentateuch or the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.) It only shows that Job is indeed older than the first five books of the Bible. She said, “Job living in this time would also confirm why scholars believe Job to be the oldest book, the Hebrew used to write it is older than the Hebrew Moses would’ve written the Pentateuch in.” Indeed, the Bible only shows that there are many authors but with only One source of knowledge and wisdom.

Skeptics have claimed practically everything false about the Bible and what's written in it throughout the last two thousand years, if not longer.

    Job is not written like the historical texts. It's written much like a poem. Also, you see more dislodge from God to a human that has no other significance other than the story itself. I don't think you see that theme anywhere else in the scriptures. My opinion, which doesn't matter is Job is a poem or fable,

    This book contain long tirads and laments, they discuss God without knowing him. No Bible, no Israel at the time. Never Moses mention Job, and none of the other authors of the old-new testament ever refer to him. The oldest book is not Job but Enoch from before the flood. I think, like Ester, its a complete invention.

    *Make this Make sense* *1. Job was righteous and God still allowed evil upon him???* But God then in Psalms 91 says "10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent. 11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. (So which is which, God can allow Evil upon man or not)????? *2. How was Satan in heaven if he was cast down from heaven??* *3. If Satan was in heaven so evil can exist in heaven???* *4. If Satan was in heaven So there can be evil in the presence of God???* *5. So God had a bet with satan to harm a righteous man, kill his kids and his animals to prove a point to satan?????* *6. So Job was supposed to be happy because he got new children?????* *7. Can new children alleviate the pain of losing his previous children.????* *8. If being righteous can get you in trouble with God, then why be righteous????* And yes I do believe in the resurrected Christ and cherish his salvation on the cross but this book called Job has alot of contradictions to the nature of God.

    • @BigTasty4567
      @BigTasty4567 2 місяці тому

      I can completely understand your confusion... 1. Yes, evil was still allowed upon Job although he was righteous; this does not contradict the book of Psalms because God speaking specifically to someone in Psalms 2. Satan being cast out of heaven does not mean that he wasn't allowed back into heaven; many scholars debate if Satan can still enter heaven today; Bible never says otherwise 3. No, there is no sin in heaven because God is greater than sin. Satan being cast out of heaven was an act of his own free will. 4. Adam and Eve walked with God and still defied him just like Satan did... It's not always that evil is happening in the presence of God but for there to be true freedom in holiness there must be an opportunity to choose wrong 5. No. Many people believe that but that's not what happens in the context of Job... Satan actually asked God's permission to ruin Job(Satan is only as limited as other angels ie Jude 1:7) And God didn't allow Satan to do it to prove a point, But the point of the book is that we can trust God no matter what happens. 6. Job is a human just like you or me. He's not expected to just move on from his children and be happy...but as the book demonstrates he was able to find Peace and Joy in the Lord and live with the hope and security that no matter what happens God will be with him... 7. No, certainly not! But giving all your pain and suffering to God certainly can! 8. Job was never in trouble with God. Unfortunately the pain and suffering that he went through is simply a part of life. And we all go through this kind of pain and suffering differently. But in the context of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, one message does stand out; that if we fear the Lord and give him our all. He will bless us, either in this life or the next! And that's a part of why being righteous is so important, is because everything in this world is vanity, But everything in the next is forever! You have amazing questions, And I hope I was able to answer them for you! I know I'm about 5 months late to answer this but I do hope you see this! God bless you, and even if you begin to doubt always trust that he is there listening! If you haven't yet I definitely recommend reading the book of Habakkuk or the Gospel of John! God bless!

    The gap between Noah and Moses was at least 1000 years. Noah lived 400 years more after the flood, and his kids a little longer than that , so they saw the old world, saw the old gods, saw the cities and knew old knowledge. The true great reset. Plenty of time for several generations of grand grand grandkids to verify Flood account, but then tower of Babel happened and stories split and changed over time.

    "...what cause was the first cause..." Unknown. Perhaps a quantum field. Perhaps 'caused' isn't the way to look at it (after all, every _other_ cause you talk about takes, and exists in, time). "...the universe is very, very well structured, very well ordered..." Not really. It has one force that tends to make it clumpy, and that one and the other three make it interactive. This leads to some clumpiness with a bunch of random stuff all over the place in a mess, and a lot of patterns. "...what happens if the gravitational pull is different than what it is now..." There's a couple problems with this approach. First, it assumes that the value might be different with no basis whatsoever. Nothing we know of generates differing values for this (or the other values), it seems impossible to _get them_ to be different, so why do we think it's even _possible_ they _could be_ different? Usually when we ask 'what if things were different' to try to understand what is going on, we _at least_ have _examples_ of a variation _existing._ Here... we don't. Second, changing such things is almost _always_ done in isolation, meaning a change occurs to _one_ value, but none of the others. Perhaps, even if the values _can_ change, the values are connected in some way we don't recognize, such that altering _one_ of them alters one or more of the _others,_ leading back to balance once more. Third, it assumes there is, was, and only has been a single universe. _Even if_ these numbers can change _and_ the don't balance, all that's required is a lot of trials to get the numbers we have. How many trials? Unknowable. Part of the problem here, again, is a default assumption that _any_ value is equally likely. That is, each value we assign to the numbers like gravitation is one side of a multi-billion-sided die. That's _one_ way it might work, or maybe _some_ values are vastly more probable than others. We don't know. Still, even _that_ doesn't matter with _enough_ trials. It's the Law of Large Numbers. The odds of shuffling a deck of cards and getting it _back to_ the original alignment it comes in when you buy it is so low you wouldn't expect it if every human did nothing but shuffle cards their whole lives for the entire time cards have existed. _But,_ take that _same_ process and have it happen over a few billion years, with billions of people... and now it becomes not just plausible, but _inevitable._ It _will_ happen, because it's a _possible_ outcome and there's no way to stop it. "...would you assume it's just chance that these chairs popped in the way they are now..." I'd have to examine how the chairs react to things, and how the things they are made of react, then consider a time scale to make a determination. Likely no. Most things at a cosmic or biological level, though, aren't like chairs. "...because there's too much order..." Not so. You could have the chairs scattered all over, even some tipped over, and you'd _still_ conclude it was likely something with intent (though you might think whatever it was may not be human, or else is pretty weird) due to the way chairs behave normally. Of course, one of the things science has done in the last couple hundred years is _decimate_ this whole idea by showing that blind, unthinking things can form the _illusion_ of design. "...do critters have morals..." Yes, absolutely. Their systems are much less deep than ours, but then their intelligence is lower than ours, too. Just as we see shadows of pretty much every bit of our intelligence in the animal world, we see shadows of our moral systems in the animal world. "...an animal devours a human being, is that an immoral animal..." That... doesn't make sense. _We_ apply _our_ morals to just _our_ species (for the most part). Why should we expect _other_ species to differ in that? We kill and eat other animals _all the time,_ and most people don't think that makes _us_ immoral, either. What we consider immoral is us killing other members of the same species (ie, other humans), and most animals seem to avoid this one as well by and large (save when they are fighting over resources, a thing humans also do, so no difference there). That is, in general, it seems not acceptable to wolves to kill other wolves (they might drive out a member who does that), except in certain circumstances (again, humans have traditionally allowed this, too). You seem to have a very human-centric view of morality. "...human beings have morals, where did those morals come from..." Evolution. Working together allows us to do better. Before it was more about thriving, _these_ days it's about _survival._ If you doubt this, just consider how few people _can_ survive if you drop them in a jungle or forest somewhere naked with _no_ gear. You might be thinking that show 'naked and alone', but _they_ get to start with 'a useful item' and a few other things, _plus_ they have the security of knowing that _if_ something goes wrong they'll be saved. What I'm talking about is _drastically_ different. No other humans or human-made things to help you, you're alone, and if you mess up... you die. What portion of the population on Earth today do you figure survives that? My guess is 'practically none'. And even if they _do,_ the next generation trying to survive on _their_ own (that is, they get to age 15, say, and then they strip down, no tools, wander off to live alone) is not likely to make it, either. We _rely_ on each other, on the fact that some of us know how to do one thing, others know how to do something else, and that we can _work together_ to get larger projects done. All of that requires _trust._ And if it is acceptable in your group to randomly kill you or steal from you... you can't trust. So you wouldn't... and society falls apart, or devolves into tribal factions and in-fighting (the way meercats do). We evolved a strategy where we largely get along with _some_ competition. It's useful for us, so the tactic spread. One way we know that morals are not _universal,_ however, is the _fact_ that we don't all share the _same_ morals. Around the world today, or in any culture through time, morals _change._ They're an _adaptation_ which, like others, _itself_ adapts to changing circumstances. "...[secular people] have to work a lot harder..." Which should make you cautious of your answer. Any answer that seems too easy, too simple... probably is. "...if there is no God, what have I lost..." However many hours a week you spend working on this religion that is fake, all the money you spend propping up the church organizations you belong to, and all of this out of the only life you'll ever have. "...what have I gained? I've gained a wonderful life, a wonderful family..." No, you haven't, because _non-believers_ have that, too. "...if, on the other hand, I say there is no God..." What if there _is_ a god and it's not _your_ god? You've spent _your whole life_ worshiping a false god. If there's _one thing_ that seems to annoy _most_ gods more than not worshiping them, it's worshiping _someone else._ I think, in that case, you're in more trouble than _I_ am. How many gods do people now or have people ever believed in? There's _thousands_ of them! And there's _no way_ to rule them out as possibly being 'the right one or ones'. And, of course, all of this just leads to _false_ belief anyway. This tells you why you should _pretend_ to believe, not why you should _actually_ believe. What sort of god can't tell the difference?

      Do you even know how the theists view the arguments you believe you explained. For example, what did you think the first cause was? Are you suggesting "Quantum field" prior to Big Bang or what theory do you hold? That's going to be weird. And I will like to see scientific work behind that.

      Let's go to your argument on Design and order. Firstly, it's a easy to go example for anyone to easily understand the argument, in other to be able to apply it on all creatures, and not chairs in order, etcetera. And that's if you understand what intelligent design is. For example, Look into how your eyes is designed, even your whole self. You can easily claim one force do this, and that force do that, it doesn't answer for how it's done intelligently. I can give an excuse on how human are formed and try to get rid of a Creator, but that can't explain how any force outside of an intelligent being will create human (two genders), give one penis, the other vagina, ability to produce egg to procreate, create a housing for it, and means to provide nutrients and all needs, then a breast for the infant. That's what we call intelligent design, and the number is overwhelming across different organism. Secondly, you assumed an explanation for the formation of an object answer for the nonexistent of a creator. You're missing the whole point, and where theists do bring a divine being in. I can give a true scientific explanation for the formation of my door, but that doesn't mean no one actually formed my door and designed it intelligently. Thirdly, it's written in many places in the Bible that God governs the universe with laws . How can then one say I can use the laws to get rid of a creator when it's a creator that design the law. No matter what, our explanations will always request for a Creator.

      @@biblewikis Part 1 of 2 *For example, what did you think the first cause was?* Theists suggest that the first cause is a god (and, funnily enough, always specifically _their_ god, no matter which religion we're talking about, which is why this argument is used by Christians, Muslims, Hindus, everyone really). The argument is that whatever this first cause is cannot, itself, be caused (leads to infinite regress... though I don't see how this helps since this first cause, itself, either has a 'first action' or else an infinite regress of actions _in itself,_ just pushing the whole problem back a step), must be powerful (though 'all powerful' is not required, just 'sufficiently powerful to have formed the singularity'), timeless (assumes time does not exist outside of the universe, which may or may not be true but is _problematic_ if not since all 'action', including creation or formation, that we _know of or understand_ seems to _require_ time), and spaceless (same issue here as with time). Then they try to smuggle in _personal_ as if atheists wouldn't notice that this isn't _required._ The argument here is that if whatever it is that caused the universe is mindless it must always be doing whatever it is that caused the universe. The _problems_ with that are _first_ it assumes that we'd notice even if it _was_ doing it (maybe new universes _are_ being formed constantly, but, of course, those are new _entire universes,_ so it's not like we'll see them _here_ in _this_ universe), and _second_ it assumes that universe formation is an easy or common event for whatever is going on (that is, that it would happen _concurrently_ with our universe and not _long after_ the heat-death of it, when no one would notice). *Are you suggesting "Quantum field" prior to Big Bang or what theory do you hold?* I don't hold a theory at all because there is insufficient evidence to decide the matter. There's at least two that seem semi-plausible _other than_ a god that I'm aware of, and the quantum field is one of them. It's an idea put forth by Lawrence Krauss. You may have heard of the book 'A Universe From Nothing'? As with a number of things, the word 'nothing' in physics has a very specific meaning, effectively that quantum field I was talking about. The idea is that this quantum field, and thus _at least_ gravity and perhaps _all_ the fundamental constants, is eternal, and just that alone will generate a universe of the sort we see eventually. _He_ has suggested this explains why there is something rather than nothing, philosophers disagree because it doesn't explain why there is physical nothing instead of philosophical nothing. _That said,_ all one has to do is say 'whatever reason one holds that a god exists is the reason that this quantum field exists', and leave it there. This idea leads to one or more variations of the multiverse hypothesis, either _sequential_ universes (in which case no universe will _ever_ notice that there are universes being formed) or _simultaneous_ universes (which I _still_ doubt any universe will be able to discover, but at least it's got _some_ chance). The _other_ plausible alternative to a god is the notion of the block universe. In _this_ model, we accept the reality of time as presented by the Theory of Relativity, in which time is a dimension like the three we're familiar with of space. When you look up, up is there, always, even if you're not in it. Same with down. Your position doesn't change that the other positions already exist. The same would be true of time. The past is _just as real_ as the present, and the future, under this model. It's know as the B-Series of time, and it's required to be the case for Relativity to function. Moreover, _without_ Relativity... we can't get back to a definite beginning to the universe (because things won't move quite right to get there). Therefore, under this model, the universe _as a whole_ (past, present, and future) exists, always has, always will, and there's no need to posit anything else. Call it necessity or a brute fact at that point, it doesn't matter, the universe _is_ and cannot be altered. I _do not accept_ *either* model, because there is insufficient evidence to do so. However the _fact_ that such models fit within modern physics (no violations we know about) means they are _plausible,_ and thus if we are going to sort out which of those two, or a god, is the _correct_ model... we're going to need _evidence..._ and we simply don't _have_ it. Without sufficient evidence, the only rational position is to _withhold_ belief until such time as there _is_ sufficient evidence. Kinda like a court case. You are accusing a god of existing, I, so far, find gods not-guilty of existing due to insufficient evidence. I _also_ find _any and all_ 'causes of the universe' to be not-guilty. That doesn't mean that nothing _did_ do it, just that the matter is undecided for now until we get better evidence. *Look into how your eyes is designed, even your whole self. You can easily claim one force do this, and that force do that, it doesn't answer for how it's done intelligently.* You're... kidding, right? How the eye happens has been understood since _Darwin's_ day. The eye is _not_ intelligently designed. It's formed by successive generations slightly modifying the light-perceiving structure over millions of years, with better eyes being more likely to lead to the thing having them surviving long enough to produce the next generation. I don't have the evidence for this next bit (because I don't care enough to look into it), but apparently eyes have evolved _multiple times_ on Earth. Even if not, we know that chemistry is affected by light (how do you think old time photographs work otherwise), and we know that _some of_ the chemistry of our cells energy-production mechanisms includes chemicals sensitive to light. All it takes is for the exact placement of that to be closer to the surface of the cell and boom! First light-sensing organ has started. Or get some of that chemical on the surface of a multi-cellular organism, and it can potentially react to light. A slight dip in that surface and now the light detection will inform the creature as to _which way_ the light is coming from. And so on and so forth. At each stage, the things leading up to the eye, from simple patches of photoreceptive cells on the surface to something as complex as our eye, or even _better_ eyes than ours (there are several eyes in nature that make ours look like garbage) is useful to the being that has it. The thing is, mankind has _overcome_ natural selection. You, sir, in a state of nature... wouldn't survive or have kids. How do I know? Those glasses you wear. They _compensate_ for your bad vision. In a purely natural setting, you would die and _not pass on_ the trait of having bad vision to your kids, so _your vision_ wouldn't be continued, while those who _do not_ wear glasses _would_ survive and pass on their trait of good vision. And _even if_ you somehow _did_ survive to pass on those broken eyes, your _kids_ would have _exactly_ the same problem and thus _exactly_ the same low chances for survival. It's like compound interest. It doesn't take much of a positive _or_ negative to drastically shift things over long periods of time. Also, just want to say, evolution isn't 'a force'. _Gravity_ is a force, _electromagnetism_ is a force. A 'force' is something that has direction as part of it. Evolution _has_ no direction in the physical sense. That is, evolution doesn't point up, down, left, right, etc. Just for clarity there. I don't want you confusing evolution with gravity. *I can give an excuse on how human are formed and try to get rid of a Creator, but that can't explain how any force outside of an intelligent being will create human (two genders), give one penis, the other vagina, ability to produce egg to procreate, create a housing for it, and means to provide nutrients and all needs, then a breast for the infant.* I take it you haven't looked into this _at all,_ then. First, sexual reproduction _predates_ male and female. The _first_ sexually reproducing things were single-celled organisms that traded genetic material. We know this because there are those out there that _continue to live this way._ Plenty of other things, even today, are _both_ male _and_ female at the same time as well, having ports for both. The idea that, over time, a species might arise where they are _no longer_ both at the same time is not a stretch, as this allows each member of that species to have fewer things to go wrong, and allows each gender to specialize. While we _now_ require all those bits to reproduce, there are creatures that _don't_ require them, and so the solution is simply that there were creatures that _had the ability_ *before* it was required, and then their offspring slowly grew to _depend_ on that ability over many, many generations. *That's what we call intelligent design, and the number is overwhelming across different organism.* Yeah, it's an argument from ignorance fallacy. It basically states "I do not know how this could have formed naturally, therefore it is intelligence." Nope, sorry, not gonna fly. *Secondly, you assumed an explanation for the formation of an object answer for the nonexistent of a creator.* If purely natural forces can account for the thing under discussion, adding a creator into it becomes extra baggage that isn't needed, and the thing falls to Occam's Razor. That is, if we have two explanations, A and B, that _both_ can explain how a thing happens or came to be, and B includes more things than A, then B should be rejected. *I can give a true scientific explanation for the formation of my door* Go for it.

      Part 2 of 2 *Thirdly, it's written in many places in the Bible that God governs the universe with laws.* It's written in Harry Potter that Hogwarts is a school for wizards. Doesn't make it true. *How can then one say I can use the laws to get rid of a creator when it's a creator that design the law.* By noting that we cannot demonstrate that the laws are designed. The 'laws', in physics, are not like the 'laws' used in a courtroom. No one _ever_ breaks the laws of nature. It's not that they break them and are corrected. Effectively, a 'law of nature' is just a _description_ of 'how stuff behaves'. How something behaves _must be_ part of what it _is._ This is just part of the logical absolutes (everything is what it is, isn't what it isn't, and nothing is neither or both) which even _a god_ must adhere to (and thus cannot be the _cause_ of).

      I asked what you say the first cause was, and not what theists say it was. You said you're not holding any theory, and if you're not holding anything, I don't see any reason to be engaging you on the theories you're putting forward. Actually, you are just making statements that claim to have some scientific explanation, without giving that explanations. If you want a thorough analysis from me, I need you to first lay down your theory for creation, not arguing from what you thought the theists are saying.
