Messianic Bible Prophecy Fulfilled: Psalm 2 "You are my son, ... ... faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted. "I shall also set his hand on the sea And his right hand on the rivers. "He will cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

"So I will establish his descendants forever And his throne as the days of heaven." (Psalm 89:20-29) Conclusion: 1.

The Ten commandments, by themselves, are not Gods Perfect Law ... The rich young ruler had kept the 10 commandments from his youth up, but Jesus said he lacked something even though he had kept the 10 commandments acceptably: Lk 18:18-23 It does not tell us about the kingdom of God or how to enter it. There is no provision for forgiveness of sin therein. Heb 10:4 It permitted swearing, but Jesus forbade swearing: Mt 5:32 Four essential things lacking in 10 commandments: Acts 15:28-29 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than: these essentials: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled ...

Book of Job: Bible textual variants analysed However, the additional words of Job's wife (Job 2:9a,9b,9c, 9d, LXX) found in the Septuagint but absent in the Masoretic are a different matter altogether and likely represent a scribal addition (gloss). To everyone who reads the story in the Masoretic Text, Job's wife simply didn't say enough to satisfy human curiosity, but that's how the Holy Spirit may have left it.
