In this episode of The Bible Explained, Job's friend Eliphaz speaks up, and it's a masterclass in how NOT to comfort a friend:
- Eliphaz calls Job a hypocrite for helping others through suffering but falling apart when it's his turn.
- "Isn't your piety your confidence?" - Why this is the prosperity gospel, and why the whole book of Job is a war against it.
- Eliphaz says God is quick to anger and strikes people down, but Psalm 103 says Yahweh is merciful, gracious, and slow to anger.
- A secret spirit visits Eliphaz in the night, and he can't discern what it is. How do we test the spirits?
- Do we perish without God ever regarding it? Jenn exposes the lies wrapped in a little bit of truth.
Join Jenn as she reminds us that God isn't hidden or a secret. He's close, He's listening, and He cares deeply for you.
