Today we dive into Job 9, where Job asks how anyone can stand just before God:
"How can man be just with God?" Job accepts his friends' premise, then asks whether anyone can truly be righteous before Him.
Our good works cannot make us righteous. Only the blood of Jesus cleanses us (1 John 1:7), not a stack of religious checkmarks.
Suffering does not necessarily mean God is angry with you. Unseen things can be at work for a larger purpose.
Job longs for an umpire between himself and God, a mediator, and this ancient book already points toward Jesus as High Priest.
Job was wrong that God mocks the trial of the innocent. God lets Job put Him on trial and answers him.
Scripture is unified. Tens of thousands of cross-references all point toward the Messiah.

Job 9 - How Can a Person Be Right with God?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/2b558373-07eb-4c43-9379-b4f0016fbf9b/transcript

Today we continue in 2 Peter 2:12-17, where Peter paints a stark picture of false teachers:
False teachers are like unreasoning wild animals. In their destroying, they will be destroyed.
"Reveling in the daytime" is brazen hedonism. The prosperity gospel sells a pain-free life, but is not the Gospel of Jesus.
The best false teachers are often the nicest people. Love-bombing or flattery does not make doctrine true; Scripture is the final test.
Eyes full of adultery and hearts trained in greed entice unsettled souls for gain.
Balaam was a "legitimate" prophet who still led Israel away from God for pay. Even his donkey saw more clearly than he did.
Wells without water and storm-driven clouds promise life but give none. If a pastor shows these signs, pray about whether to confront, leave, or stay and fight.

2 Peter 2:12-17 - Don't Trust a Well Without Water

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/bb5954a5-e961-4b4b-aa67-b4f20035d212/transcript

Today, we continue in 2 Peter 2, where Peter gives several red flags for spotting false teachers:
Red flag #1: walking after the flesh for dishonest gain - Freely you received, freely give.
Red flag #2: despising authority - Scripture has plural elders, not a single head pastor.
Be like the Bereans. Scripture is the final authority, not any teacher (podcasters included).
Red flag #3: slandering the "Dignitaries" - who are the dignitaries, and what Jude 8-9 says about them.
Doing good things does not make someone's teaching good. Watch for Balaam's kind of gain.

Jenn continues in Job 8, where Job's second friend, Bildad, speaks up with some big untruths about God and Job:
"Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?" Bildad calls Job a windbag.
Bildad says Job's children had it coming. Does suffering always mean you sinned?
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous." God promises deliverance, not a pain-free life.
Just because something is old doesn't mean it's true. Be like the Bereans and judge all things, new and old, according to Scripture.
Bildad compares Job to a reed with no water and shallow roots.
