A few corrections to my story, I am 55 not 35, My Pastor count of 5 starts with Pastor #0 who I did not mention yet. He baptized me, and brought me to age 5. He was sort of like the Pastor Karl Malden in "Pollyanna" with a booming voice. I thought he was God, That's about all I remember.

After He left Pastor #1 came in, He was the fine Pastor who confirmed me and taught me that WE LUTHERANS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE THE TRUTH! and all about judgment day and replacement theology. Early on under him our church burned down was built in a beautiful new location and around 1961 or so we joined the LCMS.

How is Job's faith and God's Grace separated?

Many people on FR do not like my new perspective on Job 1:1. I would not have liked it my self about 2 years ago. It came from a Bible Study teaching on Job of my current Pastor #5 whom I serve as his elder presently.

Learning from my Best Friend during college days and more recently from Pastor #5 that God is bigger than our preconceived notions, I tried to listen to his teaching with an open mind. Job is COOL! He starts off believing OF God in the end he believes IN God. Sort of like my Faith walk, such as it is.
