Discuss Job 1 Page 14

Book of Matthew Chp 1 gives the genealogy of Jesus back to Adam who is then called the 'son of God'. Except for Jesus the others are not called 'sons of god'. Adam was the 'original'human-kind' created by God. The others (except Jsus)were procreations and decendents of that 'original'. Adam was to be thje 'King' over planet earth. Satan cunningly got Adam to willingly handover that kingship of the planet to him. Satan is now king/god of this world. Adam as the 'son of God' (Jesus is the Son)was to have been present at the heavenly conference instead Satan represented human-kind.
The 'sons of God' in attendance were not necessarily humans or angels but 'original beings' from unfallen worlds/dimendtions/worlds etc They were there to give progress reports on their respective mandates. Adam's was to'tend the garden of Eden and take dominion over the earth by 'multiply(ing) and be fruitful, to replenish and take dominion over the earth which was in chaos.

A blesing from God comes because of your faithfulness unto God

I wish i was like job in the first two chapters...he had alot of faith even though all that he had was gone..jesus please help us to be lik job..

God loves us so much that He builds a hedge around us but there will be a time where He allows satan to come and test our love and faith in Him and in all that God expect us not to sin.

It's,amazing how so many people don't realize nothing on this earth belongs to us,the Lord giveth and taketh away. We so often put our every being in worldly things

everything belongs to God..we are just but stewards

I TAKE THE BIBLE AS IT SAYS. SONS OF ,GOD, IS THE MEN THAT WORSHIP ,HIM,. I THINK IT TOOK PLACE ON THE EARTH. SATAN CAME AS A UNINVITED PARTY.BUT A LOT IS STILL LEFT TO SAY, THAT I CAN'T ANSWER. THANKS

About vs 6 Satan is no longer a son of God, he has already rebelled and has been put out.
Also I agree with RC comments, its not that Job wasn't weak our human like us, he was but he had tremendous faith not to curse God even though he couldn't understand why this was happening to him, because Job himself said he was upright, and these things happen basically to the unrighteous. But none the less, he did his amount of questioning an d lamenting.
Thank God for His faithfulness and understanding.
And Yes, satan accuses us before God, of course only those who profess Chirst. As is recorded in Zechariah 3. God wants faithful followers.

The appointed day is their birthday. Job, did not think his children had sinned. He prayed and made sacrifices just in case they sinned. He did not want to leave anything to chance. Satan is/was a son of God. Just like we have good and bad children, God has a bad angel, but unlike us God can handle his business. Job never blamed God. When his wife tried to get Jog to curse/blame God, he told her to get behind me satan. There are times in most of our lives when we may feel, "I wish I was never born", but that does not mean we blame God for anything. Sometimes we are just plain tired of the fight, but, if we stay in Christ and keep the Faith He will renew our strength. Hallelujah!!! Job was an upright and perfect man. That was said by God himself, I have not seen where it is said Job was a strong man, never the less he was strong. Could you have bared those sores all over your body along with all your losses? This book of Job to me is FAITH, STRENGTH, HUMBLENESS, HUMILITY and a TESTIMONY all wrapped in one book. Thank You Jesus.

@Barry Pierce,
Of course YES, because Angels always gather in the presence of God ( Job 1:6).

On verse 6 of job it says that the sons of GOD presented them selves and then satan, You would think in this verse satan is a son of GOD. What do you think.

it really surprises me that everyone thinks job was so strong and never doubted God. i guess you really never read what Job does in the last few chapters. he gave up and like all the rest of weak spirted people blamed God and wished he was never born. I know God is merciful and new what Job was made of so he spared him but just remember job was weak although he held out a lot longer than i would. Still god blessed him in the end.

@okeyomilarry... Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelations 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time

Job 1:6; does Satan report us to God?

@Earl,
There are two different ways of the devil that you are talking about.
First is temptation, which Satan drawing somebody to him, presenting what is delicious and enticing, succulent, what most people would like. And such desires are dormant in us, because they are natural to mankind, only that men often give themselves to them either disorderly, or in excess. Like lusting after a woman, no one will lust after his own wife, because he can have her at any time. Yet there can be a possessive degree of love which is not of God, if we don’t keep the boundaries. But that excess comes from within man or woman likewise.
If we don’t temperate our needs and desires, we might end up opening a door for the devil to take advantage, and that is often by ourselves.
Second, what Job faced was a pure attack from the devil as the Bible clearly states. God knowing Job’s strength, left him under attack for a while, and finally came to rescue him; silencing the devil thereby.
However both, temptation and/or attack are always in the limits of the bearable, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
God bless you.

In James 1:12-15, Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God. In Job 1:8, is there a contradiction there or is it simply put that man is tempted when he drawn away of his own lust and God simply allows test and trials to come upon. The main question is People at times will ask, why did God allow this to happen or why does bad things happen to good people? Thank you for your reply.

Why did Job believe his sons had sinned?

I am confuse about Job 1:4 when the sons feasted on his appointed day. What is the appointed day?

He's a faithful servant of God, even when faith is tested he bowed down and worshipped God. It doesn't matter what we are going through in life, God never leave us. Greater is he that is within me that he who is in the world. Glory be to the Almighty God.

Every thing on earth shall pass away. I thank God for the word.

Verse 7: typically I believe that Satan did not fall from heaven. I believe that to word or phrase ''to'' is a replication, an adverb, a preposition, and the word ''fro'' is substantial to an adjective in a preposition if my diaphragm isn’t mixed up.

Job 1 is a prime example of how the devil comes to buff you to make you doubt that God is with you or for you. Despite all Job went through, he knew that God had been his provider and protector and that based on his relationship with him, he knew that God was still worthy of praise. We need to remember that God is good despite of what we was going through!

@Yolanda,
It’s truly sad to hear about your circumstances, but those are open attacks from the devil, just like Job had them.
It truly hurts, but that’s where we need to show more love for God and seek his face. The Lord Jesus is a strong tower, the righteous run to that tower and are safe.
All in life shall pass away, in a way or the other. Only God is permanent.
Please, put your trust in God, not in things; they fade away, nor in men; they pass away.
Just like Job did, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart”, Psalms 37:4. Go about it with simplicity of heart, and look at the salvation of the Lord. Chances are still many, Just Trust and Obey.
God bless you and keep you in His loving arms.

The book of Job is a great book, I agree no matter what the circumstances, Job never turned against God. I lost my husband 5 years ago and my son was murdered 2 years ago. I have lost my way my faith has been shaken. I ask only that you pray that I find my way soon because I'm tired and I know God is the only one that can help me, but I no longer feel his presence.

The Lord led me to read JOB because my faith is being tested. I am so glad that I did because the book of JOB reminds me that GOD is still in control, and that I should always keep the faith.

Despite his circumstances, when his friend asking Job what did he do that God would punish him in such a devastating way, but Job would not denounce or turned his back on God. It is a testament of true faith in the Lord.

Job is no faker. People tend to say that they follow God N believe in him but when you look at their lives you can clearly see that somewhere they lack the faith that he exists. Job lost everything yet the only thing he could do was to fall on his knees and worship. He is a true man of God.

Love your family. Job lost all his possessions, not until the fourth messenger sent word that his sons and daughters were dead did he fall to his knees. Possessions are not important, it's love, family, Jesus Christ and God that count most. Job lost everything but his faith in God, remained most important.

The devil is working on my faith right now. So I decided to find the bible online, so that I can make heads or tails of what is happening, and I ran right into this passage. So this is how strong GOD’s word is. Just what I needed to strengthen my faith. I knew to remain steadfast in the LORD but this passage, made everything much better it has soothed my heart. I love the LORD.

Job 1 shows that Satan is consistently seeking for occasion to afflict God's children. But no matter the situation, we should be firm and trust God to deliver us.
