When False Religions March - And the Church Plays Along

Feb 1, 2026    Dr. Abidan Shah

In this message, we come to a much different exchange between the mysterious Elihu and Job. Elihu’s words to Job are unlike those of his other friends, speaking of suffering as a form of instruction, rather than punishment. This ideology is very similar to Buddhism and the monks who have been in our headlines recently. But is it true? What does God have to say about suffering?


Is suffering merely a form of instruction, or are God’s purposes deeper? How should we respond to others who hold this view? Ultimately, this ties back to your view of God and his sovereignty. Are you saved?
