How To Study The Bible. Part [5] 06/06/2023 (Evening thought)

Genesis 4:9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

By the way, Cain spares the lamb, but strangles his brother in the same breath. Thus, we should never be deceived by the undergirding modes of thought which may be driving the overt actions, for as we have stated before, the mark of the beast has much more top do with a mindset, than with the mark in the hand or the forehead.

If the book of Genesis, and other books of the Bible have to be edited, or modified, and reinterpreted by Chat-GPT and artificial intelligence to fall in line with our cultural biases, or, the popular version of ethics, then, following that same mode of thought would inevitably lead some to believe that The God of the Bible is cruel.

This sentiment has actually been harbored by many, and as a result, some folks view the God of the Old Testament as being entirely different from the God of the New Testament. Hence the reason why God caused the following to be written, warning us that the truth would become more difficult to find, especially if persons tend to be swayed by political or cultural biases.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
