Bible Questions Answered:

the bible, Job 25 says that we all came from worms or are worms....”

Bible Answer:
Bible Text:
Job 25:1-6 NLT (Bildad’s Third
Response to Job)
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful.
He enforces peace in the heavens.
3 Who is able to count His heavenly
army? Doesn’t His Light shine on all the earth?
4 How can a mortal be innocent
before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 God is more glorious than the
moon; He shines brighter than the stars.
6 In comparison, people are maggots;
we mortals are mere worms.”
Well, this may come
as an absolute shock to some but, every word in The Bible is not
“Holy Writ.”
No doubt there has
been and will be some Bible thumper who will declare from his pulpit
that The Bible is 100% God breathed, God's Word.
That is well
meaning, but of course totally incorrect.
James 3:1 NLT
Dear brothers and sisters, not many
of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be
judged more strictly.
“Pastor, now you've gone and done
it, we won't be reading this site any more, that's for sure!”
Our wonderful
Bible, contains the very Words of God, and those of His inspired holy
Prophets, this is “Holy Writ.”
II Peter 1:21
KJV
For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved
by The Holy Ghost.
II Timothy
3:16,17 KJV
16 All scripture* is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
*Scripture
- Greek: Graphe (Graf--ay): Holy Writ.
Writ:
A form of written
command in the name of a court or other legal authority to act, or
abstain from acting, in some way.
(Oxford Dictionary)
The words of hate
filled enemies of God are recorded in The Bible, are they inspired?
Do you realize that
some 26 verses in your Bible are the very words of Lucifer, himself,
inspired?
No, Scripture
(Holy Writ) is only God breathed.
Now a word
concerning the individual Bildad.
Bildad, a harsh
friend, a shuhite (Genesis 25:2), may have come from Shuah of Arabia.
Shuah was the sixth son of Abraham by Keturah. Bildad was “not,”
a prophet of God.
Next the thing to
be said of Bildad's writings.
Job 25:4 NLT
How can a mortal be innocent before
God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
Answer: Yes, the Lord Jesus, was born of a woman, and sinless, thee only one who ever was.
Job 25:5,6 NLT
5 God is more glorious than the
moon; He shines brighter than the stars.
6 In comparison, people are
maggots; we mortals are mere worms.”
Bildad, was not espousing any such thing as evolution (Charles
Darwin-1859, which he renounced before his death.)
Bildad was speaking metaphorically. (Genesis 1:26,27).
Metaphorically:
A word or phrase for one thing that is used to refer to another thing
in order to show or suggest that they are similar
An object, activity, or idea that is used as a symbol of something
else
(Merriam-Webster)
In the church we sing “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” but our God
is not a fort, and yet He is metaphorically as one, in strength and
safety.
This, no doubt, was what Bildad had in mind when he said what he did.
Yes, metaphorically speaking, God is The One who is all glorious.
Job 25:5 NLT
God is more
glorious than the moon; He shines brighter than the stars.
The Glory Of God:
Psalm 8:1 KJV
O Lord, our
Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy
glory above the heavens.
Psalm 24:7,8 KJV
7 Lift up
your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and
The King Of Glory shall come in.
8 Who is this
King Of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
Psalm 72:19 KJV
And blessed
be His glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with
His glory; Amen, and Amen.
Psalm 104:1,2 KJV
1 Bless The
Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed
with honor and majesty.
2 Who
coverest thyself with Light as with a garment: who stretchest out the
heavens like a curtain:
Isaiah 6:1-4 NLT
1 It was in
the year King Uzziah died that I saw The Lord. He was sitting on a
lofty throne, and the train of His robe filled the Temple.
2 Attending
Him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they
covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two
they flew.
3 They were
calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is The Lord of
Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!”
4 Their
voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building
was filled with smoke.
Philippians 2:9-11 KJV
9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted Him (Christ), and given Him a name which
is above every name:
10 That at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God The Father.
I Timothy 1:17 KJV
Now unto The
King Eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 1:1-3 KJV
1 God, who at
sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the
fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in
these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed
heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
3 Who being
the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and
upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself
purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of The Majesty
On High:
Do you know this glorious living God? You may become His very
child....
