		<description>oh angel, your version is not special.
interpretations are interpretations.

i wonder what denomination/sect you are.
many christians will disagree with you.
claims are not facts.

in case you forgot, &quot;the&quot; bible was revised and reinterpreted thousands of times. thus, numerous versions exist.

bottom line: everyone is misinterpreting &quot;the&quot; bible.</description>

		<description>Yes indeed! Noah Idea! 
I  claim to know all those things  !
 I support my  claims with a correct interpretation  of that section of the  Bible which you vainly attempted to use as an affront to my faith . 
By way of response, I have pointed out to you the error of your interpretation. 
Your subsequent adolescent, verbal attack is indicative of your inability  to concede defeat!</description>

		<description>To Angel/Angela.

You are the one claiming to know about god&#039;s will. You are the one claiming to know everything about the universe. You are the one claiming to know the motives behind why god does things.

All I did was point this out. And YOU accuse ME of being presumptuous?   

I have little time for your hypocracy. Spend your words elsewhere. You are an elihu, and no better. And you obviously don&#039;t like being told so.</description>

		<description>Noah! You are as presumptous and ignorant of the facts as was Elihu!
You are clearly commenting with very little knowledge of the  Scriptures concerned!
 Elihu  was not rebuked for claiming to know the Will of God but for his vain mis-interpretation of it!
   Just like you, he thought he knew it all,
 but he  was foolishly MISTAKEN!</description>

		<description>Mr Noah!

 You are speaking  gross error and entirely  out of context re your ill-informed and presumptuos remarks about the Book of JOB !
 Allow ME to School YOU!
 Elihu is criticised by God for his impertinent hypocrisy in attempting to  correct Job who was a far more  schooled, experienced and righteous man in the Sight of  God than Elihu was ! 
  Elihu was wrongly assuming  that Job was guilty of some form of sinful conduct  which had  resulted in  the adverse circumstances which had come upon Job.
 Your lack of Scriptural knowledge is apparent in your grossly erronoeus interpretation of  God&#039;s rebuke  to Elihu. 
You have, in fact, committed the same presumtuous error as that committed by Elihu. 
Job was a Godly, righteous man who knew God and who also knew God&#039;s Will.
 Elihu was  neither. He was too  full of his own importance which led him to take advantage of Job&#039;s vulnerability as he underwent the test of his faith.
 At the end of the Book of Job, Elihu et al  escape God&#039;s judgment for their &#039;dark counsel&#039; and prideful  presumptous attitudes towards Job ONLY because Job prayed for them!&gt; I&#039;ll pray for you Mr Noah!</description>

		<description>There was no mention of Satan controlling Eliah. According to the bible, Eliah was simply a man who believed he knew everything. I am familiar with the passage. Are you?

Those who believe they know about God&#039;s will and his decisions, claim to know things for which they cannot possibly have knowledge. The bible is clear on that. And for a person who obviously thinks the bible is fact, I am surprised you don&#039;t also see this.

Regarding your other statements: What I or you may wish has no bearing as to what is true or not.

You may not like the idea that there may be nothing beyond death. But whether you like that idea or not, has no relevence to whether god exists or not. So asking me about what I desire after death is not only improper, but irrelevent to whether a god exists.

And you presume too much when you assume that I am afraid of faith. On the contrary. The fact is that I am willing to accept that I do not know the nature of the universe or how it was created. One who accepts his ignorance is not gripped by fear. 

But you cannot accept the possibility that there may be no god, or that you cannot possibly know the nature of the universe. You fear the unknown, so you refuse to accept that the universe is unknown. You fear the concept of oblivion after death, so you refuse to believe there is true death. 

So you attribute the universe to a cause for which you have no proof. You believe things which a human has no ability to know. And you claim things are true, when you have no evidence to show the truth of your claims.

That is the only issue here. The issue has nothing to do with me. Perhaps instead of looking at my fear, you should examine your own? 

Do not expect further replies. I have said what I wish, and you have nothing to say that hasn&#039;t already been said before.</description>

		<description>Why are you threatened by the word of G-d. Wouldn&#039;t it be nice to that he loves and wants you to spend eternity with Him. Where is your hope in life?
Just to be put in the ground
Noah that&#039;s not much of a life. God is real and he is calling you, nothing to threatened by.
I never new him to eat anybody...LOL
What are you afraid of?</description>

		<description>Ok Noah,
What was his counsel to Job?
to go ahead and curse G-d, 
Now was that G-d counsel or Satan&#039;s?

Mt 7:15
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep&#039;s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
KJV

when they get out side of the word, you need to walk away.
But Noah , this not your issue with G-d is it?
email me and tell what the real issue is?</description>
