." It doesn't state that "Job said his righteousness was more than God's..."
Job 35:1 "Elihu spake moreover, and said, Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's? For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?"
Again, Job 1:1 says, states as a firm fact that Job was a perfect man. Do you deny this?
Does not the OT state that (at least) one man was perfect and that he was Job?
