The Scent of the Living Water
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not fail.
8 “Though its roots grow old in the ground
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
9 At the scent of water it will flourish
And put forth sprigs like a plant (Job 14:7-9, NASB).
Job: A Testimony of Abuse, or of the Unchained Love of God?
Recently, a YouTube user posted a dissenting point of view to our commentary on Job, Chapters 19b & 20a. We value an open forum where everyone may cordially express what they think/feel in regards to the topics discussed, and we are committed to answering any questions or statements made when time and opportunity permit.
We do not know the personal understanding this commenter has with this particular book of the Bible, but considering the nature of the questions and at what point in our Job series they chose to post, our response is more exhaustive than it would be to, say, someone posting on Chapter 1, or another person expressing more familiarity with Job.
Below, you will find our answer to their comments.
