Avraham (Abraham) and Iyov (Job) were righteous men, but why did God choose Abraham over Job? Both Avraham and Iyov were descendants of Shem and both were found righteous men (Gen 15:6 and Iyov 1:1), but God chose Avraham to make him a father of many nations as He told Avraham, not Iyov, to leave his land to make His Covenant with him.

Posted by on Nov 17, 2018 in Q&A

Question: Are Paul’s teachings easy to understand? Answer: We have been told that Paul’s teachings bring more clarity and understanding of the Scripture and particularly when they refer to the main-street doctrine of the Church that the Law of God (Heb. the Torah, “Instruction, Direction”) has been done away with.
