Devoted to learning what the Bible actually teaches, detached from any theological system, seeking the Truth whether I like what it says or not.
I believe this section of scripture is the most misinterpreted and misunderstood in the entire Bible. Over the next few episodes I will attempt to explain why.
In this episode I talk about some of the subtle nuances from these two chapters. Why are Cain and Abel offering sacrifices to Yahweh prior to the Mosaic mandate for them? Does Cain"s fear of other people harming him imply there where more people on the earth at this time? Why are the patriarchs lifespans so long in chapter 5?
