Thank you, your hard work is much appreciated.

If it were true, then the New Testament writers would have picked up on it and ran with it. They didn't.

I am tempted to misquote John Houseman here, but that wouldn't be decent.

Relax, I will respond. However, I have no intention of pulling rabbits out of these verses, only Christ, the Church and God's purpose for man.

Well I am glad you added that because otherwise this entire post is off topic as well as all the verses you posted. They should be in a thread "Job and the NT".

I think everyone will agree that WL taught certain Bible truths, and to say that "Justification by Faith" came from WL because he taught it is absurd. WL gave a Life Study on Job, I have quoted relevant quotes from the Life Study to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that WL did not teach any of this about Job. Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that my claims come straight from WL. If I had stood up during the LS of Job and taught this I would have been shouted down as being rebellious.

So, WL taught the Purpose of Man is to express God. That is a Bible truth. If you want to discuss this truth start a new thread. WL taught the Bible culminates in the NJ. That also is a Bible truth. If you want to discuss that truth, start a new thread. But WL also taught that there is nothing of God's purpose in the book of Job. That is a "Lee esque" teaching. I did not teach that. You and OBW did. If anyone has "Lee esque" teachings on Job it is you and OBW. You should have the common decency to admit it.
