Further speculation is really beside the point.<BR/><BR/>Mos -- The question I raised has nothing to do with doubting whether God has offered eternal life (though I fail to see where you find that God offered eternal life through Christ to Job, thus strengthening him). The question is not about whether we believe there are eternal rewards, but whether we would serve God even if there were not. The question is not about the trustworthiness of God's promises, but about the motivation of our devotion.Tony W. Cartledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04890640429983888869noreply@blogger.com
