Pastor Flamme and Pastor Wolfmueller dig into the seven theses of divine justice from Elihu in the book of Job. They are: God is not the cause of evil.

Job 34:14-15 God knows all of men’s actions and pleas for mercy. Job 34:21-28 When God does not answer men’s cries, it is because of men’s pride. Job 35:12 God deals in mercy with men by his Word. Job 36:10-12 God’s mercy comes through suffering in that it opens men’s ears to hear his Word. Job 36:15 Read more about these at wolfmueller.co/elihu-2 and wolfmueller.co/jobsummary. Guest Rev.
