Orev Hhet.

2020-03-30 21:18:33 UTC  

No Mike.

2020-03-30 21:18:36 UTC  

Hebrew for Crow of Sin.

2020-03-30 21:18:55 UTC  

It's symbolic.

2020-03-30 21:19:02 UTC  

I'm a sinner, chief among you could say.

2020-03-30 21:19:23 UTC  

I like Crows as messengers of God, and in general.

2020-03-30 21:19:29 UTC  

Ecclesiast refers to my favourite book.

2020-03-30 21:20:38 UTC

2020-03-30 21:20:46 UTC

2020-03-30 21:21:07 UTC  

Aye gud

2020-03-30 21:22:05 UTC  

NRX I guess.

2020-03-30 21:22:13 UTC  

I wished to see what this is all about.

2020-03-30 21:22:19 UTC  

Then I found out The Distributist is here so I stayed lmao

2020-03-30 21:23:13 UTC  

What are your thoughts on the Book of Ecclesiastes?

2020-03-30 21:23:35 UTC  

Ever dwelt on it more than just once?

2020-03-30 21:23:51 UTC  

Orthodox.

2020-03-30 21:24:06 UTC  

Yeah I get you lmao

2020-03-30 21:24:41 UTC  

I find reading it once every two months to be extremely eh

2020-03-30 21:24:43 UTC  

Insightful.

2020-03-30 21:26:09 UTC  

Does anyone know how to connect Ecclesiastes to the book of Job?

2020-03-30 21:26:39 UTC  

Well other than the fact that they're part of the same part of the Tanakh, namely Ketuvim, or Wisdom Writings.

2020-03-30 21:26:53 UTC  

There's a certain sin which Job commits to which Ecclesiastes speaks of.

2020-03-30 21:26:57 UTC  

Do you know what it is

2020-03-30 21:27:09 UTC  

Or rather, to make it simpler:

2020-03-30 21:27:13 UTC  

Do you know what Job's sin was at all?

2020-03-30 21:27:35 UTC  

Yep; but there's a specific way in which he did so.

2020-03-30 21:27:43 UTC  

Do you think that Job's friends sinned?

2020-03-30 21:28:00 UTC  

Do you know how?

2020-03-30 21:28:16 UTC  

Yeah but how did his friends sin?

2020-03-30 21:28:37 UTC  

Not entirely; I'll let you know

2020-03-30 21:28:45 UTC  

Both Job and his friends sinned in the same manner.

2020-03-30 21:29:03 UTC  

They thought they knew God. They thought that God worked like a machine; Sin = Punishment, Virtue = Reward

2020-03-30 21:29:14 UTC  

That God owed Job something. That's Job's sin.

2020-03-30 21:29:27 UTC  

On the flip side, Job's friends also thought they knew God.

2020-03-30 21:29:48 UTC  

They thought that since Job had been suffering, HE MUST'VE done something wrong. They were right but, not entirely. In this assumption they were also sinning.

2020-03-30 21:29:56 UTC  

And this is explained in the book of Ecclesiastes:
