Blended Reading Plan from Back to the Bible


Blended Reading Plan from Back to the Bible
Today's reading fron Job 22-24; 1 Corinthians 8

Job 22 from Adam Clarke Commentary
Eliphaz reproves Job for his attempts to clear his character and establish his innocence, 1-4. Charges him with innumerable transgressions; with oppressions towards his brethren, cruelty to the poor, hard-heartedness to the needy, and uncharitableness towards the widow and the orphan; and says it is on these accounts that snares and desolations are come upon him, 5-11. Speaks of the majesty and justice of God: how he cut off the ante-diluvians, the inhabitants of Sodom and the cities of the plain, 12-20. Exhorts him to repent and acknowledge his sins, and promises him great riches and prosperity, 21-30.

Job 23 from Adam Clarke Commentary
Job answers; apologizes for his complaining; wishes to plead his cause in the presence of his Maker, from whom he knows he should receive justice; but regrets that he cannot find him, 1-9. He, however, gives himself and his cause up to God, with the conviction of his own innocence, and God's justice and goodness, 10-14. He is, nevertheless, afraid when he considers the majesty of his Maker, 15-17.

Job 24 from Adam Clarke Commentary
Job asserts that there are various transgressors whose wickedness is not visited on them in this life; and particularizes the adjust and oppressive, 1-6; those who are cruel to the poor, 7-13; the murderer, 14; the adulterer, 15; thieves and plunderers, 16,17. Nevertheless they have an accursed portion, and shall die, and their memory perish, 18-20. He speaks of the abuse of power, and of the punishment of oppressors, 21-24; and asserts that what he has said on these subjects cannot be contradicted, 25.

1Corinthians 8 with Commentaries, verse by verse

1Corinthians 8
The issue is food offered to idols. Some Christians were not bothered by buying meat offered to idols. Because they see the idols as nothing and there is only one God. However other Christians were bothered by this, when they saw them eating the food which was offered to idols. What should be done? Paul said to be considerate of the brother with the weak conscience. we should not let the weaker brother stimble. Paul said if he would cause someone to stumble, he would never eat meat again (v. 13). What about us? The controversy arises today about some Christians drinking or smoking. What should we do? We should not let our brother or sister stumble
