  quotethe word christ signifies anointed.

  anointing means designation to official position in god’s arrangement.

  the christ is the instrument or channel for the blessing of mankind.

  Genesis 8:21 is not referring to the whole earth?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  genesis 8:21 .

  "this particular text was written in the wake of the assyrian invasion of judah and the siege of jerusalem by sennacherib in 703-701 bc (20 years after he had already wiped out israel).

  here the author resorts to hyperbole (exaggeration) in describing the utter destruction of the land of judah: that is, the destruction of judah is envisioned as the destruction of the whole earth.

  Genesis 8:21 says

  “I will not curse the ground again on account of man; for the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will not strike all the living again.”
  

  I'm not seeing any connection.

  Not to change the subject:

  But Blondie, I must say that I've always thought the picture in your avatar was Blondie, body facing left, wearing a backless/strapless dress, head turned looking over her left shoulder. Now I realize she is fully facing straight, but leaning at an angle. I need to rethink everything lol

  I love how every paradise picture ends up looking dated. For instance, in this picture Armageddon obviously came in the early '90s.

  Their main "evil" in my book is that they require, actually demand, blind acceptance of whatever their truth du jour happens to be.

  Yes! There's usually nothing wrong with having wrong ideas and misconceptions, we all have them in one way or another. It's when you demand under threat of 'death' that you be followed, and even those that do follow you micromanage and often ruin their lives, then it's no longer 'imperfection', it's just plain evil. The org is one big abusive relationship.

  How do they know readers will be amazed?

  Because they SAID the readers would be amazed, and that's good enough for the sheep.

  Can they give a few specific examples as to what is so amazing?

  That Jehovah is providing such rich spiritual food in this time of the end. 🤢

  In the intro from the latest Ezekiel book:

  As you
  read through its 22 chapters and meditate on the
  beautiful illustrations found therein, you will be
  amazed at all the careful research that has gone
  into its preparation.

  They call themselves the Faithful and Discreet Slave, but how discreet is it really to be constantly bragging about yourself? It flies in the face of numerous Christian teachings, like:

  1: 'Don't blow a trumpet ahead of yourself': They do this all the time, calling themselves God's one and only spokesman and way to salvation.

  2: 'He that exalts himself will be humiliated', and the illustration of the man who went to the head seat without being invited: They do this too, often, letting their praise come from themself.

  3: 'Dont let your left hand know what your right is doing': Always using disasters as commercials, filming vulnerable people and having them give on-camera testimony of how great "God's Organization" is when doing charity work.
