Re: quote mining is really unproductive.
...Which even if true is still just a total irrelevancy, a pointless exercise in avoiding discussing what Job is all about.
So what is Job all about? Thats my question.
I of course have opinions and shall discuss them shortly---after rereading job, of course.

Re: quote mining is really unproductive.
My belief, of course, is that Job and the Creator of all seen and unseen had a literal conversation....comments?

Methods of Translation
quote:
  • Literal translation. Attempts to keep the exact words and phrases of the original. It is faithful to the original text, but sometimes hard to understand. Keeps a constant historical distance. Examples: King James Version (KJV), New American Standard Bible (NASB).
  • Dynamic equivalent (thought for thought) translation. Attempts to keep a constant historical distance with regard to history and facts, but updates the writing style and grammar. Examples: New International Version (NIV), Revised English Bible (REB).
  • Free translation (paraphrase). Translates the ideas from the original text but without being constrained by the original words or language. Seeks to eliminate historical distance. Readable, but possibly not precise. Examples: The Living Bible (TLB), The Message.

    Re: NoNukes and the Text of Job 26.
    Just out of curiosity, do you believe in Zoroastrianism to any degree?

    Re: Job talks about pre flood animals
    rahab sounds like a reference to the Great Dragon, satan.
    Either "Dragon" or "PROUD" would validate this.

    Re: This thread needs some order. Evolution & evolutionists are not the topic. But ...
    LNA writes:
    Use the Bible text of Genesis 1 and Job 26 in a harmony so we can chronologically place the entire text into sync, which will help us greatly in deciding where to place Rahab and the twisting serpent ( which are in verses 12 and 13 respectively ) Quote the entire text from both chapters but interlace the verses in a harmony.
    OK let me see if i understand your request. Genesis 1:12 and Job 26:13?
    Or all of Genesis 1?
