No Mike.
Hebrew for Crow of Sin.
It's symbolic.
I'm a sinner, chief among you could say.
I like Crows as messengers of God, and in general.
Ecclesiast refers to my favourite book.
RIp lmfao
Or rather you since I can't speak!!!!!
Aye gud
NRX I guess.
I wished to see what this is all about.
Then I found out The Distributist is here so I stayed lmao
What are your thoughts on the Book of Ecclesiastes?
Ever dwelt on it more than just once?
Yeah I get you lmao
I find reading it once every two months to be extremely eh
Insightful.
Does anyone know how to connect Ecclesiastes to the book of Job?
Well other than the fact that they're part of the same part of the Tanakh, namely Ketuvim, or Wisdom Writings.
There's a certain sin which Job commits to which Ecclesiastes speaks of.
Do you know what it is
Or rather, to make it simpler:
Do you know what Job's sin was at all?
Yep; but there's a specific way in which he did so.
Do you think that Job's friends sinned?
Do you know how?
Yeah but how did his friends sin?
Not entirely; I'll let you know
Both Job and his friends sinned in the same manner.
They thought they knew God. They thought that God worked like a machine; Sin = Punishment, Virtue = Reward
That God owed Job something. That's Job's sin.
On the flip side, Job's friends also thought they knew God.
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.
And this is explained in the book of Ecclesiastes:
