What is your understanding of the terms "Ransom" and "Redeem"?

by Doug Mason in

with respect to christ being the "redeemer" and of having "paid the ransom", i would like to know:.

(1) what is your technical understanding of each term?.

(2) what is the watchtower's understanding of each term?.

My thoughts are based on following the common thread that is woven throughout the sacred writings.

Man was brought into existence by a Higher Being; Man fell out of favor with said Being; said Being set into motion a purpose to bring Man back into His favor.

I've set about formulating a timeline for past, present, and future happenings in connection with that purpose.

It has been an eye-opening, humbling endeavor.

One main conclusion I've reached is that God is not far off from His creation.

Thanks.

"While the water is heating up, I'm going to start on the dishes," Mother said.

"Why don't you sort the laundry and get a load started. Then, we can sit and have a nice chat over a cup of lemon-ginger tea and decide which rooms to tackle next. How does that sound?"

"Sounds wonderful," Mary said as she attacked the pile of laundry. "I will be out here putting things to right in the laundry room. Just holler if you need anything."

"Oh, and Mother?"

"Yes, Mary?"

"Thanks - for everything."

"You know you're welcome, child"
