Lot was technically correct in his reply to her. But if she was grieving, is this what she needed to hear? I know at times I have spoken out of despair or frustration or grief, and I already know I am wrong, and my attitude is wrong. If you are Lot, how do you respond to your wife? I think you meant Job, not Lot? As for his response . . . well, he is a male, you know. But seriously, one can imagine that he was responding in grief as well. Hearing his wife telling him to "curse God and die" must have struck a very hard core in him - telling him to turn his back on the Lord? His rebuke could have as much been his rebuking the thought from germinating in his own spirit as it was getting her back on track with her faith in the Lord. -------------- Moses Maimonides, a great Scholar, Philosopher, Theologian and Medical Doctor, has written in his opus prima "Guide for the Perplexed," that the book of Job is an allegory, written with the purpose to describe the role of Israel in the Counsel of God. He adds that the personage Job never existed in reality. One of the reasons for the allegory, is the fact that God could never be persuaded by Satan, whose dialogue in the book only brings anthropomorphism to the mind of the reader. The onus is up to you to prove that it is an allegory, using the text itself. There is a whole lot of detail given that would have to have meaning in the allegory. I have a question for you - what is your view of the bible? Wholly inerrant inspired Word of God? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
