Job 7:9 – Does this verse contradict the Bible’s teaching about resurrection?
Problem: The Scriptures teach that all people will be raised bodily from the tomb (cf. Dan. 12:2; 1 Cor. 15:22; Rev. 20:4–6).

Is this the case?

Job 1:6 – How can Satan come before God when he was dismissed from heaven?
Problem: Job 1:6 states that the sons of God came to present themselves to God, and “Satan also came among them.” However, this implies that Satan has access to the throne of God when elsewhere it is declared that he has been banished from God’s presence (Rev. 12:7–12).
