FK: "There are no blameless people, including Mary."

Then Job 1:1 is a lie. Make up your mind.

My mind is already made, by God. No credit to me. And seeing as how I am a lawyer dude, let me ask you this: Do you believe that Job 1:1 has God telling us that Job was without sin? You are either arguing that or saying that this scripture was a lie. You pick. I say that Job was a sinner just like the rest of us, and that only by God's grace was he able to remain faithful through his trials.

The verse referred to how other men saw him, not to his standing before God.

Q: Why do they bury lawyers 12 feet deep?

B: Because, deep down, they're not so bad.

We now return you to your regular religious disputation.

Than it's not your mind. That makes you a mindless robot. :)

No credit to me.

No argument there. :)

Do you believe that Job 1:1 has God telling us that Job was without sin?

No, the auhtor of Job is telling us that Job was "blameless" or "perfect." Since to you the book of Job is "inspired," it must be a true statement, regardless form which point of view; otherwise it's misleading.

I say that Job was a sinner just like the rest of us, and that only by God's grace was he able to remain faithful through his trials.

That can be said of all. A re you not "jusitified" by faith? Are you blameless, i.e. "perfect?"

The verse referred to how other men saw him, not to his standing before God

How can they know he is perfect and shunned evil? Whoi can say that for another human being, but God?
