Anointing was always used to bestow a majestic title of the highest honor - king, savior, high priest. To me, personally, to claim that I have been anointed by God is arrogance and pride of the highest level, something that I, a mere sinner cannot aspire to by my own words but only by the grace of God.<br /><br />Is it incorrect to say that we are anointed? 1 John 2:27 says we are anointed, but he's talking of the endowment that we realize who Jesus truly is. <br /><br />The term anointed in association with believers is used twice that I can find, and neither time is it an anointing in the true sense of the word, but a spiritual sense. In a modern day spiritual setting all I can think of that comes close to anointing is the pomp and sanctimony of the Roman Catholic Church. The confirmation ceremony where young people are anointed with oil as a "soldier of Christ" is a prime example - why would I want to associate myself with that?<br /><br />If I'm going to claim that I am by God, I'd rather say something like Loved, or Saved, or Chosen, there's many more, and clearer, bible verses on those claims.Doug Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318930961031654937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-7408833386035567922014-05-22T05:47:48.690-06:002014-05-22T05:47:48.690-06:00Regarding Anointed...you do realize that Christ = ...Regarding Anointed...you do realize that Christ = Messiah = Anointed with Oil, right?
