Job 5 - Twisted Truths and Terrible Comfort

In this episode of The Bible Explained, Jenn continues through Eliphaz's speech in Job 5 and shows how true statements about God can become dangerous when they're misapplied to someone who is suffering:

Eliphaz tells Job not to bother appealing to the holy ones. Is that really true? Does God answer people who bring Him their questions?
Eliphaz claims he has seen the foolish crushed in the city gate and implies Job brought his suffering on himself. When we see somebody suffering, can we automatically assume they did something wrong?
A fallen world, the defeat of Satan's false arguments, an example for future believers, and a war on the prosperity gospel. Jenn shares reasons God allowed Job to suffer that had nothing to do with sin.
Paul actually quotes Eliphaz in 1 Corinthians 3. Some of the best lies out there are twisted truths, or truths that are misapplied.
"Happy is the man whom God corrects" is a crazy thing to say to a man mourning in ashes. Discipline is never fun when it happens, but we shouldn't despise it.

Join Jenn as she reminds us not to assume every single time that God is angry with us, and encourages us to ask Him to reveal why we're going through what we're going through.
