I can only assume since you haven’t left any of your own thoughts that you prefer to hang the calamities of all of life on this one scripture in Isaiah.<BR/><BR/>First off, the obvious is that this is one scripture. We don’t base theology on one scripture.

The two points in your second post are great. It goes back to my thoughts that people are basing way to much of their theology on this book of the Bible. I think those points are a good view of what this book is about and what we should take from it. <Nathan Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040487367017510127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371734443102841468.post-70510316322664100502008-07-30T14:25:00.000-04:002008-07-30T14:25:00.000-04:00NT: yeah... it's me again.

If a thorough study was made of this book, it would be very revealing as to how Job & God related to each other. The 1st chapter says God found Job perfect in all his ways.
