And, please don't quote Paul to me!

The books that Paul wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit are the books that directly apply to the church today.

But since you don't want to hear it from Paul, here, you can hear it from God.

Job 38:1  ¶Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2  Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4  ¶Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8  Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9  When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

Job 40:1  ¶Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

2  Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

3  Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

4  Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

5  Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

6  ¶Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

7  Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8  Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

9  Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10  Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

11  Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

So, whoever wrote Job received the text word-by-word I presume? I mean, it's almost choreographed. Or was the writer there as it was happening, and he recorded what God said and what Job said?

Job is a story with a moral behind it; it's message is true and eternal: do not blame God for your misfortunes. What is your point anyway?
