Don’t argue what you don’t know, it is better to keep silent
Don’t show God partiality [Job 13:7-11]
Don’t lie or cheat or do evil, even if it’s in defence of Him
The ends do not justify the means with God
If he must be defended, it must be with the absolute truth, and with the absolute best methods
Job’s words proved to be true as God didn’t take kindly to Eliphaz and his friends trying to defend Him (God) with lies. God was displeased with their testimony, even though they testified in favour of Him [Job 42:7].
To God, it matters what we teach. It is not sufficient to just defend God, it must be done with the truth,
This is why knowing the truth of God’s word is of the utmost importance.
Those who care only for turning people to God, but not in using the whole truth to do so, are in danger of God’s wrath. God is not pleased when His word is distorted.
A distortion of God’s word is bearing false witness against God
If it is bad to bear false witness against one’s neighbour, it is a much greater sin to do so against God.
God’s wrath was kindled against Job’s friends because of this, He will not use a different standard in judging us, or anyone else.
