The David Spoon Experience 11-14-22 Part 2

1) Keep in mind that as we travel into Job, that some of the STATEMENTS are biblically correct by themselves. We will spend some time highlighting what these statements mean. But the spirit with which they were delivered and the three friends’ condemnation of Job shed light on why God was angry with them. The three friends assumed Job had sinned. They were wrong, just like Job’s evaluation will be wrong. They assumed they knew why and what God was doing with Job. That false assumption led them to sin. 2) There is nothing wrong with this statement on the surface (get used to this phrasing from me regarding this Job study). What a man sows, so shall he reap. This is testified to in Galatians 6:7. However, for those keeping score, Karma causality is about 400 years behind the biblical principles in the Old Testament. 3) Can something that is stained be as pure as something that is not stained? No. Let’s say you have a brand-new white bedsheet. It’s pristine. Your first grader sits in the middle of the sheet with her permanent marker. You see an unbleachable stain where a marker has bled onto the sheet. You can sew as much new white fabric to the edges as you wish, but it will not undo the fact that there is a huge stain in the middle of the sheet. Adding material around the stain doesn’t remove the stain. The stain has to be covered or cut out. In the same way, adding good works does not pay for bad works.
