Crazy Email

[Ukulelemike]

So, today I get an email from someon called "Too blessed to be stressed". It was an email that began with this quote:

 

"JOB 22:28 Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established
unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways"

 

Anyone see anything wrong, from the outset, with this email?

 

It goes on about God moving in new ways and doing new things, then to read Ps 23 outloud, then click their link and "make your request".   

 

So, clearly there are some issues goin on here. I finally decided I wanted to see who this person was, so I clicked the link...it was a LOAN COMPANY! I couldn't have even guessed that.

 

I guess, though, the weirdest thing, was the verse they chose to use. Again, anyone see the prOBlem with it?

Ahahahaha... wow.

Verse sounds kinda 'name it & claim it' out of context like that - is that what you mean?

Well, they left out the word "also"...Thou shalt ALSO decree a thing...

 

Are you referring to the fact that this verse is one of JOB's friends who were giving him bad counsel, or are you referring to the verse as being Eliphaz's counsel of what will happen when someone "gets right with God", or is it something else? 

[No Nicolaitans]

Since "also" is in the actual verse, that would mean that there are other things to do besides what the verse says.

 

Also..."decree" doesn't mean to claim something...but I won't get into that here.
