| Re: Job: Moral Catch-22 I appreciate your getting back, IntoTheLight. When I had mentioned canon, in my earlier post (just to make sure things are transparent), I had been talking of the most likely used canon during the Second Temple Period; which ended in 70 CE. Even with that, of course, there is some grey zone (meaning some uncertainty as to what had been considered canonical, and by which cult of Judaism). Nevertheless, the general canon was the Palestinian canon (as opposed to Alexandrian, Samaritan, or Babylonican canon) in the Palestine area.
Yes, I fully understand your position regarding your outlook towards either the Christian god-model, or the Judaic god-model, and I am surely right with you there. Again, however, when discussing the matters from these several data bases, we have to hold the god-models as they are for consistency in argument. . . that's all. So, when talking in any philosophical matter, even, about a scroll of the god ("God") of the Tanakh, we are exactly talking about that model as given and described/prescribed by those very works. |
