In Romans- It says For all have sinned and fell short....but in Job it says he led a perfect life?

Answer 1

Job was a righteous & upright man in the eyes of God....

He didn't say he was perfect.

And Romans 3:23 remains the same......ALL have sinned....and are in NEED of Jesus Christ

Answer 2

Job was not a sinless man. Job's perfectness is referring to his moral integrity and whole-hearted commitment to the Lord. Scripture says that he was perfect and upright. Job's uprightness refers to him staying away from evil and not allowing sin to take root in his life because he feared / respected the Lord above everything else.

Answer 3

Yes you too can be perfect. True all have sinned excluding Yahshua the Messiah however, his atonement of our sins was made possible from the shedding of his blood.

Yahshua then told us that we are healed but to SIN NO MORE!

Christianity teaches that no one can be perfect, that is true if you follow the traditions and teachings of the Christians. Yahweh tells us in no uncertain terms how we can become perfect.

Gen 17:1 ¶ And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am Almighty Yahweh; walk in my ways, and be thou PERFECT!.

Psa 19:7 The laws of Yahweh are perfect, CONVERTING whole personl: the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple wise.

Hbr 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of UNBELIEF.

Answer 4

When Eve sinned, God punished her for all women. That is why women have children. You are born out of sin into sin. You are still in sin until you ask God to forgive you. Job at some point in his life had to have ask God for forgiveness. Before you even ask, No Jesus was not, because Mary was never with a man for sex, and Jesus was a Holy product of God's doing. Also children who die early go directly to Heaven. Because they are to young to know and comprehend the truth. At what age are you held accountable, because of the knowledge today, I would say as early as 8 or 9.

Answer 5

There are notably two alls in the Bible to sort out:
- all sinned, thereby all die, all perish (not some only)
- flush law: sin & death, thereby all live (none perish)

Two Gods are also notably opposed about them:
- Law God concluded them all in unbelief, so kill em all.
- Grace God in Christ did not law impute sin unto them.

You cannot have both salvation and extinction;
for mix-tu-are of contrary things = oxyMORON.
This would be the oxyMORON noted in Jude 5:
them all got both "saved and destroyed after".
Such is an oxyMORON with a BAD ending.
The Bible has no such dead end at the end:

The GRACE(ONLY) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 6

In Judaism, righteousness is not determined by whether or not you are perfect, but whether or not you have obeyed the laws of G-D regarding teshuva, which is renouncing your mistake/sin, turning away from it, making whatever restitution is necessary and vowing to avoid that sin in the future.

Job wasn't sinless. No human ever was. Yet he was righteous according to the definition of righteousness under the Law of G-D. G-D forgives those who do teshuva.

Answer 7

Job led a perfect life according to the letter not according to the spirit. This is evident in the conclusion of his trial where his lack of total faith and total trust is God because evident. Job knew that he had followed the rules but the focus of his heart and his trust were lacking. His trials brought him to the full realization of his lack of faith and trust.

Answer 8

A father came home from a long day at work one day to be greeted by his little boy.
Father can I get your slippers the boy asked.
No said the father.
Father would you like me to get your newspaper?
No said the father.
It was then that the father noticed the sad eyes of his son.He realized that his young son loved him and wanted to serve him.
The father looked at the boy and said, I sure could use a drink of water.
The boys eyes light up and he ran to the kitchen.In his excitement to serve, he grabbed a dirty glass and filled it with warm water.As he handed the glass to his father with a big smile on his face the father noticed the dirty glass he had gotten but said not a word.As the father drank the warm water from the dirty cup, he smiled at his young son.
The Father knew that His Son wanted to serve Him.This young son was living "a perfect life".
Isn't it good that we serve a merciful God who looks at our hearts rather than the dirty glass with the warm water in it?

Answer 9

All have sinned and fell short.....

Job was honest inside and out, a man of his word, who was totally devoted to God and hated evil with a passion.

Answer 10

Read the whole book of Job.

Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. 26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, 27 whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

Job 13:26 For you write bitter things against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
