  Rootcause has asked me, so I will respond. But I think the blood thread is getting a little heavy. So I am going to record my thoughts here.

  Can any of you guess where rootcause is going with this?

  Was Noah an organization of one? Was his family God's organization in his day?

  Did God at times work through individuals (Job, Joseph, Jonah, Elisha, Elijah, David, Isaiah, Daniel..)

  No keyword search for "organization". In the New Testament the closest word I think would be the body of Christ. Of course, all these scriptures on how Christ's body functions here on earth does no good for the modern JW. JW's think these references are for the Anointed only.

  G4983

  so¯ma

  so'-mah

  From G4982; the body (as a sound whole), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively: - bodily, body, slave.

  (Rom 12:4-5 1Co 10:17, 1 Cor 12:12-27, Eph 4:4-16, 5:29-30, Col 1:18)

  G4954

  susso¯mos

  soos'-so-mos

  From G4862 and G4983; of a joint body, that is, (figuratively) a fellow member of the Christian community: - of the same body.

  (One incidence only, Ephesians 3:6)
