4. The Book of Job
Our Goal
We try to understand as much as possible, not only why we live in a world of evil, but more important, how we are to live in such a world.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Sisikapin natin na maunawaan hanggat maaari, hindi lang kung bakit tayo’y nabubuhay sa isang masamang daigdig, kundi mas mahalaga, kung paano tayo mamumuhay sa ganitong daigdig.

6. Innocent Blood The Book of Job Lesson 8, November 19
Dugong Walang Sala

7. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
Innocent Blood
Key Text
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.”
Susing Talata. “Ngayon, ang pananampalataya ay ang katiyakan sa mga bagay na inaasahan, ang paninindigan sa mga bagay na hindi nakikita” (Hebreo 11:1).

8. Nor was Job reaping what he had sown, as can so often be the case.
Innocent Blood
Initial Words
Job’s suffering was not a case of retributive punishment. God was not punishing him for his sins, as He would do with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Nor was Job reaping what he had sown, as can so often be the case.
And so Job not only didn’t deserve what had happened to him, he knew that he didn’t deserve it.
Panimulang Salita. Ang pagdurusa ni Job ay hindi isang kaso ng ganting parusa. Hindi siya pinaparusahan ng Diyos dahil sa kanyang mga kasalanan, gaya nang gagawin Niya kina Kora, Datan, at Abiram. ¶ Ni hindi inaani ni Job ang kanyang inihasik, gaya nang kadalasang kaso. ¶ Kaya nga si Job ay di lang naging hindi karapat-dapat sa nangyari sa kanya, alam niyang hindi siya karapat-dapat dito.

10. Innocent Blood
1. Sinful Human Nature
Psalm 51:5 NKJV
“Behold I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.”
1. Makasalanang Likas ng Tao. “Narito, ako’y ipinanganak sa kasamaan; at ipinaglihi ako ng aking ina sa kasalanan” (Awit 51:5).

11. 1. Sinful Human Nature
Job’s Protest
What makes it all harder for Job to comprehend is that he knows that he has been faithful to God.
He cries out to Him: “ ‘Although You know that I am not wicked, and there is no one who can deliver from Your hand’ ” (Job 10:7, NKJV).
Ang Protesta ni Job. Ang higit na nagpapahirap para kay Job na maunawaan ay alam niya na siya’y tapat sa Diyos. ¶ Humihiyaw siya sa Kanya: “ ‘Bagaman iyong nalalaman na ako’y hindi nagkasala, at walang makapagliligtas mula sa iyong kamay’ ” (Job 10:7).

12. 1. Sinful Human Nature
Job’s Protest
There’s a difficult irony here: in contrast to what his friends said, Job was not suffering because of his sin.
The book itself teaches the opposite: Job was suffering here precisely because he was so faithful.
Merong isang mahirap na kabalintunaan dito: kataliwas sa sinabi ng kanyang mga kaibigan, si Job ay hindi nagdurusa dahil sa kanyang kasalanan. ¶ Ang aklat mismo ay itinuturo ang kataliwas: si Job dito’y nagdurusa talagang dahil siya’y lubhang matapat.

13. 1. Sinful Human Nature
Innocent Blood?
We often hear the question of “innocent” suffering. The Bible even uses the phrase “innocent blood”
(Joel 3:19), usually in the context of assault, or even murder, of people who didn’t deserve what happened to them.
If we use this understanding of “innocent blood,” then, our world is filled with many examples of it.
Dugong Walang Sala? Madalas nating naririnig ang problema ng “inosenteng” pagdurusa. Ginagamit pa nga ng Biblia ang katagang “dugong walang sala ” (Joel 3:19), kadalasang sa konteksto ng pagtatangka sa buhay, o kahit sadyang pagpatay, ng tao na hindi karapat-dapat sa nangyari sa kanila. ¶ Kung gagamitin natin ang pagkaunawang ito ng “dugong walang sala,” kung gayon, ang ating daigdig ay puno ng maraming halimbawa nito.

14. As someone once said, “Your birth certificate is proof of your guilt.”
1. Sinful Human Nature
Innocent Blood?
On the other hand, the Bible does talk about the reality of human sinfulness and human corruption, which brings up a valid question about the meaning of “innocent.” If everyone has sinned, if everyone has violated God’s law, then who is truly innocent?
As someone once said, “Your birth certificate is proof of your guilt.”
Sa kabilang dako, ang Biblia ay nagsasalita nga tungkol sa realidad ng pagiging makasalanan at tiwali ng tao, na nagbabangon ng isang makatwirang tanong tungkol sa kahulugan ng “walang sala.” Kung lahat ay nagkasala, kung lahat ay nalabag ang kautusan ng Diyos, kung gayon ay sino ang tunay na walang sala? ¶ Gaya ng sinabi minsan ng isang tao, “Ang birth certificate mo ay katunayan ng iyong pagkakasala.”

15. Is this not, perhaps, the ultimate question for humanity in regard
1. Sinful Human Nature
Innocent Blood?
That’s not really the point.
Job was a sinner; in that sense he wasn’t innocent, any more than his own children weren’t innocent. And yet, what had he done, or they done, to deserve the fate that befell them?
Is this not, perhaps, the ultimate question for humanity in regard
to suffering?
Hindi ‘yan talaga ang punto. Makasalanan si Job; hindi siya inosente sa kaisipang ‘yan, gaya nang hindi inosente ang kanyang mga anak. At gayunman, anong nagawa niya, o nagawa nila, para maging marapat sa kapalarang dumating sa kanila? ¶ Hindi ba ito, marahil, ang sukdulang katanungan para sa sangkatauhan tungkol sa pagdurusa?

16. Innocent Blood
2. Suffering and Sin
Job 15:14-16 NKJV
“ ‘What is man, that he could be pure? And He who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous? If God puts no trust in His saints, and the heavens are not pure in His sight.
How much less man, who is abominable and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water?’ ”
2. Pagdurusa at Kasalanan. “ ‘Ano ang tao na siya’y magiging malinis? O siyang ipinanganak ng babae, na siya’y magiging matuwid? Ang Diyos ay hindi nagtitiwala sa kanyang mga banal; at ang langit ay hindi malinis sa kanyang paningin. ¶ Gaano pa nga kaliit ang karumaldumal at hamak, ang taong umiinom ng kasamaan na parang tubig?’ ” (Job 15:14-16).

17. There is a deeper problem with suffering.
2. Suffering ang Sin
Unfair Fates
There is a deeper problem with suffering.
What about:
the times we see no good come from it?
the suffering of those who don’t have the dross separated from the gold in their character because they are killed instantly?
those who suffer, never knowing the true God?
Di-makakatarungang Kapalaran. ¶ May mas malalim na problema sa pagdurusa. Papaano ang: ¶ mga panahong wala tayong nakikitang mabuti mula rito? ¶ ang pagdurusa nung ang kanilang dumi ay di-naihiwalay sa ginto ng kanilang karakter dahil biglang napatay sila? ¶ yung nagdurusa na hinding-hindi nalalaman ang tunay na Diyos? ¶ yung ang mga pagdurusa ay ginawa lang sila na masama ang loob, galit, at namumuhi sa Diyos?
those whose sufferings only made them bitter, angry, and hateful toward God?

18. the thousands of people killed in a natural disaster?
2. Suffering ang Sin
Unfair Fates
the fate of animals in a forest fire who are slowly burned alive in a horrible death?
What about:
the thousands of people killed in a natural disaster?
civilians killed in war?
Job’s ten dead children?
his servants who were killed with “the edge of the sword”?
Paano ang: ¶ kapalaran ng mga hayop sa isang sunog sa gubat na unti-unting nasusunog na buhay sa isang kakila-kilabot na kamatayan? ¶ ang libu-libong tao na napatay sa isang natural na kalamidad? ¶ mga sibilyang napatay sa gera? ¶ ang sampung patay na anak ni Job? ¶ kanyang mga lingkod na napatay ng “talim ng tabak”? ¶ yung nasunog ng buhay sa pamamagitan ng “apoy ng Diyos”? ¶ Ang mga ito’y di-makatarungan, di-makatwiran, di-tama.
those burned alive by “the fire of God”?
They are not fair, not just, not right.

19. The Bible reflects a harsh fact: evil and suffering are real.
2. Suffering and Sin
Sufficient for the Day...
The Bible reflects a harsh fact:
evil and suffering are real.
It’s only a superficial reading of God’s Word that says if only we remain faithful to God, suffering won’t come.
Certainly faithfulness can reap great rewards now, but that doesn’t mean
it provides an absolute barrier to
suffering and pain.
Sapat na para sa Araw... Ipinapakita ng Biblia ang isang masakit na katotohanan: tunay ang kasamaan at pagdurusa. ¶ Ang pahapyaw lang na pagbabasa ng Salita ng Diyos ang magsasabi na kung mananatili lang tayong tapat sa Diyos, hindi darating ang pagdurusa. ¶ Tiyak na ang katapatan ay makakaani ng malalaking gantimpala ngayon, ngunit hindi ‘yon nangangahulugang maglalagay ito ng lubos na hadlang sa pagdurusa at hapdi.

2. Suffering and Sin
Sufficient for the Day...
“ ‘Take therefore no thought for the morrow.... Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof’ ” (Matt. 6:34).
Jesus wasn’t denying the presence of
in our lives, even the daily presence,
of evil. He was doing the opposite.
He was acknowledging the prevalence and presence of evil in our daily lives.
“ ‘Kayat huwag ninyong alalahanin ang bukas.... Sapat na para ngayon ang kabalisahan sa araw na ito’” (Mateo 6:34). ¶ Hindi tinatanggihan ni Jesus ang presensya sa ating buhay, kahit ang araw-araw na presensya, ng kasamaan. Kataliwas ang ginagawa Niya. ¶ Kinikilala Niya ang pag-iral at presensya ng kasamaan sa ating araw-araw na buhay.

21. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
Innocent Blood
3. Faith and Suffering
Proverbs 3:5, 6 NKJV
“Trust in the Lord with all your
heart, and lean not on your
own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths.”
3. Pananampalataya at Pagdurusa. “Sa Panginoon ay buong puso kang magtiwala, at huwag kang manalig sa sarili mong pang-unawa. ¶ Sa lahat ng iyong mga lakad siya’y iyong kilalanin, at itutuwid niya ang iyong mga landasin” (Kawikaan 3:5, 6).

22. 3. Faith and Suffering
Things Not Seen
“ ‘Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not’ ” (Job 14:1, 2).
The question we struggle with is how do we account for suffering, the kind that seems to make no sense to us, that kind in which innocent blood is shed?
Mga Bagay na Hindi Nakikita. “ ‘Ang tao, na ipinanganak ng babae ay may kaunting araw, at puno ng kaguluhan. Siya’y umuusbong na gaya ng bulaklak, at nalalanta; siya’y nawawalang gaya ng anino, at hindi namamalagi’ ” (Job 14:1, 2). ¶ Ang tanong na ating binubuno ay paano natin ipaliliwanag ang pagdurusa, ang uri na parang walang katuturan sa atin, ‘yung uri na nagbubuhos ng dugong walang sala?

23. 3. Faith and Suffering
Things Not Seen
Many times, things just don’t make sense. It’s at times like these, when we don’t understand, that we need to learn to trust in the goodness of God.
We need to learn to trust God, even when we can see nothing good coming from the evil and suffering around us.
Maraming beses, ang mga bagay ay walang katuturan. Sa mga panahong gaya nito, kapag hindi natin nauunawaan, na kelangan nating matutong magtiwala sa kabutihan ng Diyos. ¶ Kelangan nating matutong magtiwla sa Diyos, kahit pag wala tayong nakikitang mabuting dumarating mula sa masama at pagdurusa sa paligid natin.

24. 3. Faith and Suffering
Things Not Seen
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
From the things that we do see, how can we learn to trust God about the things that we don’t see?
“Ngayon, ang pananampalataya ay ang katiyakan sa mga bagay na inaasahan, ang paninindigan sa mga bagay na hindi nakikita” (Hebreo 11:1). ¶ Mula sa mga bagay na nakikita natin, paano natin matututunan na pagtiwalaan ang Diyos tungkol sa mga bagay na hindi natin nakikita?

25. Innocent Blood
Final Words
There is a crucial difference between those who struggle for answers to the question of suffering without God and those who do so with God.
The hope that “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,...sorrow,...crying, neither...pain: for the former things are passed away” (Rev. 21:4).
Huling Pananalita. Merong isang kritikal na pagkaka-iba sa pagitan nung mga nakikipagpunyagi para sa mga kasagutan sa problema ng pagdurusa na walang Diyos at yung ginagawa ito na may Diyos. ¶ Ang pag-asa na “papahirin niya ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata, at hindi na magkakaroon ng kamatayan;...
pagdadalamhati,...pagtangis,...o kirot, sapagkat ang unang bagay ay lumipas na” (Apocalipsis 21:4).
