Did Job sin?

FREEATLAST:

I am saying there are things we don't know, and so have to look elsewhere in the Bible for clarification.

I answered your question. How does your position fit with Romans 3:23?
--> Are you saying that Job was a man who never sinned his whole life, just like Jesus?


ALSO...


As far as Job being a type of Christ, I believe he was! ...in that he prefigured christ in some ways, as did King David, who was definitly not sinless.

If you mean by "type" that he was an OT incarnation of Christ who had a wife and kids and suffered some "pre-cross" suffering to teach us some things, then I would say there's no biblical warrant for beleiving that.

If you mean by "type" that the whole book of job is a parable, that it never actually happened, then I don't believe there is any biblical warrant for that either.

The bible says all have sinned and fell short. It also says this;
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

I believe both. You evidently do not.

I'm sorry if I was reading into what you said. I just didn't understand what you meant by saying that if Job was a type of Christ he never sinned. I was trying to think through different possibilities for that explanation.

Upon reading your posts again it seems you are saying that you believe he did sin, correct?
