Job 25 – 26

Verse 25:2 has Bildad keeping on point with his misguided beliefs:

Bildad: God rules over all things;
        dread is His domain,
    God—who makes peace and order on His own heights.

Blah, blah, blah … this is almost getting old now. Job tells his friends they are wrong, they ignore him and ratchet up their opinions. The problem with theology outside the Bible is truth can be twisted into false beliefs very quickly. God is over all, this is true, but God did not afflict Job. So it becomes a back and forth between them.

Verse 26:2 has job respond and notice how this translation states his response:

Job (sarcastically): What a great help you are to the powerless!
        How you have held up the arm that is feeble and weak.

Sounds like the way I would get after this much repeated “help” like this from my friends. It’s draining sometimes when things are now simple and what seems logical is not right. In this case Occam’s Razor is not correct since the simplest explanation is not right. So on we go.

One interesting thing you need to look at is the notes The Voice have after verse 26:2 … the section they add talks about hell, sheol and Abaddon. This is something I want to start exploring, if hell is real or something from pagan religions since many of the words translated as hell are not true translations. Like Lucifer being a Latin transliteration for the Morning Star, eventually becomes a name of Satan. May not be 100% correct when you really start parsing it out. So be on the lookout for verses that address, hell and the lake of fire.
