The Gospel According to Job 1

Welcome to Gospel Rant!

The book of job has unnerved, frightened and confused Christians for millennia. I wonder, maybe, just maybe, if we get the core message? You just may be surprised. We’ll talk about it. Welcome to Gospel Rant Podcast and DrBillSenyard YouTube channel.

We hope that it helps to regularly hear about God’s love that loves the unlovable, unloved, unlovely, unworthy and unlikely, and that’s all of us on any given day if we were just a little bit honest.

Here's a couple of teasers that you may find interesting—and maybe never heard before. So many of us think that Job is about the dangers of challenging and questioning God. And when you do, you need to repent very quickly. While that’s a clean morality message, it is not the message of Job.

• Job never officially repents—that is he does not use the Hebrew word for repent. Instead, he says, “I revoke (??) and I find comfort in ashes and dust.” Interesting and not what is usually taught.
• Second, God said at the end (Job 42:7) that Job had spoken what is right. So what did Job have to repent of? Maybe, in spite of what we’ve all been told, the book isn’t about ‘repentance.’ Curious.
• Third, Chapter 28 appears to have been shoved right into the middle of one of Job’s long tirades, but it does not appear to belong there. What’s going on?

Curious? Welcome to our program.
