I can't explain what happened to your palm, but I can comment on the text in Job.\n \nThis passage is referring to God causing man to stop his labor long enough to behold God's work.\n\nLook again at the verses before  JOB 37:7.\n\nThey all refer to the work God does, to the power He has. To seal the hand of man means to prevent it from working. You almost have to understand Hebrew to grasp the real meaning here. I researched this for almost 30 minutes before I figured it out.\n\nNO, I don't read Hebrew but I did online research of it.\n\nYes, avoid fortune tellers and palm readers, and soothsayers and all those. Read what happened to King Saul when he decided to trust a witch 1Samuel 28: 5-25. She is called here "a woman with a familiar spirit"  which implies a medium or one who talks to spirits.  They are in truth people whom satan and his angels use to deceive people who are foolish enough to believe them.

At some point, every man will come to understand that  it's futile to try to copy other peoples' work or envy them.  He must accept himself as he really is, and understand that nothing good will ever come to him in life unless he works for it.\nTrust yourself completely, the purpose of your life and in your fate that God has arranged for you, your role in society and in the company of your friends, and believe it was all put there for a reason. Great men have always had this childlike trust in themselves and their fate.  This trust and purposefulness is at the core of their being and so genius works through them.

I quote:\n"A great diversity of opinion exists as to the authorship of this book. Two Talmudic traditions hold that Job either lived in the time of Abraham or of Jacob. Levi ben Laḥma held that Job lived in the time of Moses, by whom the Book of Job was written. Others argue that it was written by Job himself, or by Elihu, or Isaiah. From internal evidence, such as the similarity of sentiment and language to those in the Psalms and Proverbs (see Psalms 88 and 89), the prevalence of the idea of "wisdom," and the style and character of the composition, it is supposed by some to have been written in the time of King David and King Solomon. Some, however place it in around the time of the Babylonian exile. Talmudic tradition treats the story of Job as a parable."\n\nThere is a good discussion of this at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job

funny how you didn't point out how "GOD" made all of those people before kill people, he killed people himself with floods, he tortured people to prove their trust in him (Job), he is just so perfect, isn't he? you're right!

Necessity of Working. Jesus Christ said that “the worker is worthy of his wages,” thereby indicating that those who labored in connection with spiritual matters would not lack necessities of life. (Lu 10:7) However, as the apostle Paul pointed out to the Thessalonians, the lazy person who refuses to work does not deserve to eat at the expense of others but should learn to work with his hands to care for his needs. (1Th 4:11; 2Th 3:10, 12) Likewise, the stealer should “steal no more” but “do hard work.”—Eph 4:28.\n\nFaith and Works. Works of the Mosaic Law, which included such things as sacrificial offerings, purifications, and circumcision, did not make a person righteous. (Ro 3:20; 4:1-10; Ga 3:2) Yet, the disciple James—who is not discussing works of Mosaic Law—says “a man is to be declared righteous by works, and not by faith alone” (Jas 2:24), for there must be practical works that demonstrate one’s faith, giving proof of it. (Compare Mt 7:21-27; Eph 2:8-10; Jas 1:27; 2:14-17; 4:4.) For example, Abraham had works that proved his faith, such as his willingness to offer up Isaac. Rahab also proved her faith by her works of hiding the Israelite spies.—Heb 11:17-19; Jas 2:21-25.\n\n It is God who backs up and strengthens those who work at doing his will. (2Co 4:7; Php 4:13) Whereas the lives of humans abound with vain works (Ec 2:10, 11), works relating to true worship are not in vain. Hebrew Christians were given the assurance: “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name, in that you have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering.” (Heb 6:10) Such work evidently included rendering material assistance or other kindnesses to those in need or to those experiencing suffering and persecution. (Compare Eph 4:28; Php 4:14-19; 1Ti 6:17, 18; Jas 1:27.) Other fine works include sharing in making disciples (Mt 28:19, 20; 1Co 3:9-15) and, in the case of men, serving as an overseer in a Christian congregation and teaching fellow believers.—1Th 5:12, 13; 1Ti 3:1; 5:17.\n\nMANY say that they have faith in God. Yet, mere professed faith is as lifeless as a corpse. “Faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself,” wrote the disciple James. He also said that God-fearing Abraham had faith that “worked along with his works.” (James 2:17, 22) What significance do such words have for us?\n\n If we have true faith, we will not just believe what we hear at Christian meetings. We will give evidence of faith, Yes, faith will prompt us to apply God’s Word in life and will move us to action.

cheri_da_rn: he meant carpentry!\n\nI wonder, was it before or after he got married to Mary Magdalene? You couldn't really hold it against the guy if he was already married and THEN found out that he was supposed to be the Messiah, and die on the cross, etc.

Jesus didn't "give" her the job.  It was her idea.  she wanted to do it to show her appreciation.  read your Bible\nMatthew 26:7-13\n7a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor." 10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

2nd Timothy 2:15 (and the surrounding verses) might be good for what you're looking for: \n\n Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

That doing the will of the Father is a condition upon entering the Kingdom of God. We cannot attempt this by our own effort or by our good works to merit or gain salvation. It has to be by faith and repentance alone. A total trust in Christ that through Him the work is done.  Many works and wonders will be performed in Christ's name but without His power, authority, will or knowledge. It will be done for selfish gain or recognition, totally opposite for what Christ stands for. Many want the blessings of Christ, but not the responsibility that comes behind it such as suffering for His sake and giving up one's will daily. Having a true heart for the lost and needy. They do not know Him because they have no real idea what He is all about. They possess a book knowledge, but no real personal relationship with Christ therefore He states He doesn't know them.

Look with-in and you shall find all that you need .It is said that man alone has with him the full knowledge and love of God . So if one found them selves alone and without any knowledge of the books of evil men who twist Gods love and distorts the truth how would you find him .\nLook only as far as your own soul and you will know your creators love .\nThe written words of man are to serve mans needs and not those of God .\nIt is insidious how the writings of man distort the true meaning of Gods Will for man and have lead him so far astray .\nBut I have been asked by God to tell you that you should only look in your own soul for him and there you will find him .

It's pretty much summed up in Ecclesiastes:\n"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." Eccl. 12:13 :)

No where in the Bible does it indicate Lot was a "great guy". In fact, it was just the opposite...he was shown to be greedy and selfish (Lot was rescued from the city simply because of the prayers of Abraham). \n\nThe Bible doesn't paint those in it to be paragons of virtue. Rather, it shows them as they are; flaws and all. That's negative for the integrity of the scriptures -- actually is reinforces its legitimacy. It's not an "OT lack of respect for women"...Lot's actions are not condoned...its simply an account of what happened.

Mark of the Beast \nRevelation 13:16-18 states: \n"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

God has revealed everything but do men heed? Don't worry about what the revelation has to say because it will really come to pass just as long as you hold on to your faith. This life is not really that important. There is something more precious than life on earth.

You missed the biggest point of all, Man wrote the Bible, It has lost and been added to over thousands of years in translating the bible. God himself is perfect, his Creation's just got a little lop sided is all.
