Genesis Chapter 4 Discussion Page 19

Hello Dennis, The reason why God did not accept Cain 's offering was because it was not a blood sacrifice. Throughout the history of the Bible blood sacrifice has been given. The only time a cereal or vegetable offering was made that I can recall is with a meat offering, except honey and leaven, Leviticus 2. Remember when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden an animal had to give up its life to clothe them, Genesis 3 21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them ". It does not say that animals were sacrificed, but knowing what was in the garden the only humans at this time were Adam and Eve then the only creatures left where the animals that had skin. Some scholars say it was because God had cursed the ground. Some scholars say because the sacrifice that Cain gave was not of the first of the crops he grew. However, along with Cain 's wicked nature, I think that because it was not a blood sacrifice then this is why God did not accept his offering. This still does not mean that Satan begot Cain. You have some people today that are wicked and do wicked things they were not begotten of Satan.

Genesis 4 5 Why did God not respect Canes Offering

Hello Ryan, Because the Bible is the Living Word of God it reveals more and more each time you read it I found a scripture that confirms that there are at least three heavens 2 Corinthians 12 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I cannot tell or whether out of the body, I cannot tell God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Hello Ryan, Part 1of 2 I do not see a scripture where it states that there are three heavens. However, if you continue to read you will find that the heaven that verse one is talking about is the Heaven that we see now, because in verses 9 and 10 he gathered the waters under the heaven and then he placed the Earth there also. Then in Chapter 2 verse 1 leads you to believe that there is more than just one heaven. Instead of saying heaven and earth the scripture states that there are heavens and the earth. Naturally we see the heaven which is above us. Then there is what some people call the heaven or universe or galaxy whatever further above the heaven. Then there is a heaven in which we do not see that is where God and the angels reside.

was there only one having to heavens were three heavens in Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 King James Version.I know he began to remake the ruin creation in Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 I need help in this matter and proof scriptural text

Satan did not have a child with Eve. To say this is very incorrect. In Genesis 4 1 It clearly states that she conceived with Adam. The word beguile does not mean having sex it means "to mislead by cheating or tricking deceive ". If Satan had begotten a son with anyone I am sure the Bible would have stated "Satan begot ". Please read over under Genesis Chapter 3 my comment concerning this.

Peoples, around the world please listing to the lord words it is true, all of it.And the Lord is real and he is coming soon. Please fine a spot somewhere and repeat for your sins,and have that closer walk with Jesus. The Lord Jesus loves us all everyone listen to what the lord is saying to us . He died on the cross for our sins. And please believe in the Lord.We out their in the world doing what we shouldn 't be doing the Lord Jesus Christ see it all. repeat from our sins, and do right by the lord. remember this, if you don 't remember nothing eles. Remember that the lord Jesus Christ love us.and he wouldn 't never leave us.The devil is a lier the devil don 't wont us hes just trying to keep the lord from getting us.keep praying around the nations We all need Jesus keep praying people.Because the Lord Jeus Christ is coming soon.

Verse 2 the word AGAIN bare means continued in birth so the boys were flaternal twins and that 's why they gave their offering up to the LORD at the same time. Eve was very innocent and young I guess not to know that Cain came from the serpent satan when he beguiled her, wholly seduced, had sex with her.

If God made a woman for Adam then he could have made one for cane, Abel and Seth. Cane went to the land of nod and found a woman there. Noone can truly understand the bible. Yet it makes us more wise. Amen. Praise Jesus

The word Adam means mankind and not just one man. GOD made man in HIS image male and female which were all over the face of the earth and only Adam and Eve were placed in the garden as the examples to be used for GOD 's purpose. That 's how Cain found his wife over in another land called Nod.

Trent.. Which is the greater sin, incest with his mother or with a sister. We know they went forth and multiplied Eve certainly had additional children, Seth comes to mind, but certainly she must have had daughters as well.

In response to Word 's comment on 8 14 2014, where in Genesis does it say that God covered the Earth with people on 6th day? Weren 't just Adam and Eve created then? I do agree that it does seem strange that Cain was able to find himself a wife when Eve was the only woman who existed at that point. Perhaps the writer of this myth just didn 't think it through properly.

As we see out of all the women of the 6th day creation one of them took Cain. God covered the earth with people on the 6th day.

Gen 3 20 And the man called his wife 's name Eve because she was the mother of all living. Now was is past tense meaning she was already a mother, before Gen 4 1.

How did Cain find a wife when at that point Eve was the only woman on earth? She didn 't have other sons and daughters until after Cain supposedly knew his wife.

I wonder, why the name of true God Jehovah has been removed from his word "the bible "?....Lord its just a title, like doctor or attorney, its not a name, the son of Jehovah has a name... "Jesuschrist "...so why remove the name of his allmighty father?

GOD IS GOD

Verse 23 and 24 are an example of how our FEAR of the Lord will convict us unto repentance. Lamech felt so convicted of his own sins he felt as if a mark was placed on him as it was Cain, but Lamech 's mark would require anyone who slay him to actually receive 70 and seven fold the punishment because he felt his sins were so much greater than those of Cain. It truly is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING GOD.

In each dispensation God gave a commandment. The only commandment given was in Genesis where he told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which they broke. Cain was the first murderer and there was no law given. Adam was the beginning of the transgression of sin. But sin grew and there lays the flood the second commandment.

Very much ok

i think he is referring to his future brothers and sisters from genesis 5 4

Only man was created by God 's hand in Genesis 2, but everything else created by word. So our image close to God than all other creation even though they all flawless.

I do not get it, god favoured Abel over Cain, the one god favoured namely Abel was killed. Now I beg to question, why the one god favoured got murdered, why didn 't god protect him? So what are we to deduce from all this? God 's favoured was murdered, god did not bring him back to life but instead populated the world through a murderer, a sinner. Whose fault we are the way we are today? We read that Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead, Lazarus and sinner like any other in his day, yet god the creator did not do the same for someone he favoured. This is my conclusion, the bible was hijacked by Europeans, edited based on their own world view and shoved at as. King with thrones, long bearded white man on a throne, white angels etc. It is important to see through all the editing and see where this is all man made, god does not behave the way it says he does in the Bible.

Michaels comment on James is exactly right. Secondly, I have no problem with any time frame that would otherwise be explained by science. God is the creator, and furthermore, science proves it. As for any "gap theory ", there is none. If you truely believe God created everything, then surely you must agree that all time was created as well. Then it is clearly evident a preceived age of the earth and heaven was created in its current state. Remember this, all books of science will eventually be re written simply because they are flawed to begin with. That is, proven wrong or simply outdated and in a constant need of updating. The KJV on the other hand, is the devine, preserved true Word of God. Lastly, look at what is called the 1000 yard model of our solar system. The sun may be represented by an eight inch sphere, then that means the earth is the size of a pepper corn at an appropriate distance to scale. There are stars out there that are nearly as large as our solar system. Thinking of how small that peppercorn is, now think of how small your brain is when set to scale in this respect. It does not even measure. So, to say that anything less than God created man in his own image, is absolutly insane. Genesis is the beginning, with out any flaw whatsoever. Seek God in this matter, and you will find the comfort you need for this and every day.

I love genesis chap 4

I believe the answer to these anomalies lies within the order of verses in Chapter 1 and 2. Taken at face value, God creates man and woman at the end of chapter 1 and tells them to go forth and multiply. He then creates the Garden of Eden and Adam opening the possibility that the garden was God 's grand terrarium experiment for Adam and Eve. This theory actually aligns well with a key Biblical precept, which is that God established special bloodlines for the Jewish people. Therefore, it 's quite possible that other people were roaming the earth before Adam and Eve existed.

there several points that makes me wonder what is going on with the bible. The mark of Cain is one that makes me think why would Cain be worried that some other people would cause him harm? Why did God not question that, but instead,gave him a mark to protect him? Where did his wife come from? I don 't think that Adam and Eve other children is the answer. I am not sure of what would be the answer but I feel that there is something going on that have been reviled to us.

What was the reason why Cain slew his brother Abel? That means some of the things some of us are experiencing today, started in biblical time? Families hate each other and brothers don 't want to see their sister prosper. If the blessings of God is for all mankind, why should your own brothers fighting you because you send yourself to college to better your life.

Well, I have some of the same questions about cities , iron working and so forth. Also, if God put a mark on Cain, who was he protecting him from? Cain 's family? Who else was around to build the cities?

Picture yourself in that time of the Bible event. Obviously a city then was much smaller with less people. And the events did not happen day by day. It 's not a running commentary in that way. If I asked you to explain your life history in 5 minutes, how would you word it? Eg. "I was born in 1970. I live in Paris. My wife is Jane. " But was I born in Paris? No, I did not say. But I am living in Paris today. And I obviously did not marry my wife in 1970. verses 1 and 2 if Gen1 are 2 DIFFERENT times. Gen1 1 was BILLIONS YEARS AGO. Gen1 2 was 6000 years ago. Now we have a CLEARER understanding. Bible is THEN consistent with science. 6000 years ago was recreating of the Earth after Lucifer Satan tried to destroy it.
