    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    We are one body in Christ, there are no individuals. Just as wine is obtained at the expense of the life of the grapes, the grapes being crushed losing their individuality so too we in order to be joined to the body of Christ must be willing to sacrifice our lives and lose our individuality that...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    This is true, no one begotten of the holy spirit during the Gospel age is born of the holy spirit until they have experienced their resurrection change. First, if we are called we are begotten of the spirit, then comes the gestation period in which the "new creature" in us develops, but...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    The Scriptures make a distiction between the faithful of the past who were moved by the holy spirit, and those during the Gospel age who are begotten by the holy spirit. Both have the holy spirits presence and guidance, but only those begotten of the holy spirit are begotten to a new nature, a...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    Unfortunately the scriptures don't support this idea. They make it clear that no one was begotten of the holy spirit prior to Pentecost. Note we are not talking about those faithful of the of the past who were guided and moved by the holy spirit, we are talking about those who have been...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    You are correct there is not enough information, and this is only an assumption on our part nevertheless it is a possibility. Nothing in the account implies Cain’s offering was not the very best of his crops. Imagine yourself in his shoes; what type of sacrifice would you have given to the...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    If you had read our post you would have noted we never said that Abel offered the first animal sacrifice (it was God who sacrificed the first animal), we simply stated that Abel’s offering of a lamb as a sacrifice (in distinction with any other type of animal sacrifice) was the first sacrifice...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    You are on the right track my sister. “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.” (Heb 11:4 NKJV) “By faith Abel offered to God a more...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    None of these text quoted imply that Adam and Eve must come to Him through a sacrificial lamb. Understand I am not talking about the antitypical lamb Christ Jesus which we understand to be our only hope of approach, of atonement with God, no what I'm saying is there is nothing said to Adam and...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    "I was always taught,and encouraged to teach that Cain offering was not his best from what he had grown." This is just a question and is not meant to be taken as an affront to what you believe or teach. Where precisely does it say that the offering which Cain brought was not the best of his...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    Sorry but the scriptures are quite clear, NO ONE was begotten of the spirit until after Pentecost. Our Lord is the Head of the Body, the Church, the first born of the new creation that in all things he might have preeminence. (Col 1:18) It is the church nominal which teaches that as soon as an...

    I know but I like riling old Dave sometimes.

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    “And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry...

    How to study the book of Revelation, Part 35

    Words and Phrases The Seven Spirits The expression, THE SEVEN SPIRITS, occurs four times in the book of Revelation. A comparison of these usages reveals the likely interpretation of the meaning. Rev. 1:4: shows the seven spirits BEFORE THE THRONE —a symbol of the position of SERVICE. Rev...

    Revelation Chapter 5 VERSE 5 “But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” BUT ONE OF THE ELDERS: (Those which we saw introduced in Chapter 4) This verse could be very...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 73

    Revelation Chapter 5 VERSE 4 “So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.” SO I WEPT MUCH: It is certainly possible that the literal John had this reaction. The expectancy aroused by Chapter 4 would have him in great anticipation of the...

    We really CAN'T answer some of these

    No one said they were, if you had taken the time to actually read our post you would have noted we said that these rivers were not meant to be taken as the literal rivers that exist today, but by way of illustrating the properties of the literal rivers a comparison is made.
