Job understands there is a resurrection and you can call it judgement and you can find it as being one of two things, vindication and redemption, or wrath and punishment. He knows it can go either way, but has every assurance that if he does well he will be vindicated, while he feels assured that if he does ill, he will be punished, but is not assured that he will be found acceptable if he rests on his past deeds only and wishes those could be remembered forever and if he grows weak and has failings, those will be forgotten.
EDIT: Found it;
Job 19:25-27
25 I know that my redeemer[a] lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[c] in[d] my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!
I believe that there is God, and then there is someone else who claims to be God. This person is no dummy so is able to make a very convincing argument for his being God. He also has very seductive forms of enticements. This person was very good in his craft way back at the beginning of human existence on this planet, and now is even better, with all his experience with so many people over such a long period of time.

Just remember not matter what you believe God is a just and judges righteously.
The Sacred Name or True Name
If someone firmly believes that the manufactured rendering of YAHshua is a scriptural name, then I would recommend that they check it out for themselves in the Hebrew texts. Creating one's own language concepts while ignoring the rules that govern transliteration and vocalization, and then applying them to other languages to aid in the formation of a Hebrew sounding name does not demonstrate sound or acceptable scholarship. It appears according to the above explanation that "YAHshua" is a manufactured name that has been assembled using faulty scholarship in an effort to support a theological agenda.
Yes they did.
Jesus was Jewish. He was circumcised according to the tradition of Moses. Egyptians did not circumcise according the the tradition of Moses
I did not say that.
But you ARE claiming that jewish history as presented in the old testament is a lie,
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
No because you are cherry picking from biased "Hebrew scholars" who are going to say things to support their reason for existence. Unbiased historians say there is no evidence that supports the Old Testament mythical version of history.

The priests in Egypt were circumcised and Moses' intention was a nation of priests.

Thanks for you analysis of that page. I have to agree there is an agenda of subversion being pushed along and there is a constant ratcheting up and a drawing tight the noose.
I hope people are aware that there is a trap set at their feet and the ultimate goal is your soul in Hell. (of course after making good use of your bodies here on earth, first, on the physical plane to consolidate a satanic kingdom to match that of hell, with the motto: as above so below, or, as below, make it also above)
I don't know where you get that.
So what you are saying is Jesus Christ is not Lord?
Hell, I think, is somewhere near the center of the earth where souls go when people die. My guess is that everyone goes there but some just leave, but the only way they can leave is if God takes them.
I have to be very clear here because of your constant flip-flopping on certain points, your introductions of other theologies and your constant threatening the rest of us with hell just makes me confused about your theology. You say we believe in a Jesus that is murderous and genocidal and we are wrong, then you tell us we are going to hell. Seems to be a contradiction on your part.
I was not being technical unless being "technical" is reading the verses.
Who is Jobs redeemer? If we all want to get completely technical with this I would say what is the Jewish word for "Word".
Are you now going to say that the universe and everything in it was made in six days and that the earth is six thousand years old?
..where you directly said the Old Testament is a mythical version of history

I said earlier on this thread that I think people should read their Bible and to read, out loud, the part that says, "Jesus is Lord". I imagined people would understand that to indicate that I accept Jesus as Lord. This is what this thread is about, saying Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord. How do you get from that, that I do not believe Jesus is Lord?
This is your claim and that is what it is, and not a fact, as you wish it was. All you have to back up your claim is speculation. Jesus is in the New Testament and I point out that it was likely enough to be the name of a person of Jewish descent living in Hellenized Alexandria where he spoke Greek.
And if you'll recall, this entire thread was started by you claiming that those using the original hebrew names of Jesus and god are going to hell (see your thread title, right up there? Yeah, that's what I'm getting at), although these merely happen to be in the original language of the jews (and the book of Matthew), and come directly from the scriptures that Jesus quoted and claimed to have fulfilled, and that the entire new testament is founded on.
