this real. in my life at least this verse keeps showing itself to me through experiences
James 4:1
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
you speak russian?
no but russians are my orthodox brothers and I have tons of respect and love for them
Y'all they're already putting chips in people's hands to pay for things
The rapture is coming soon
I’m rereading the Bible and these questions been bugging me. I’d appreciate if anyone can answer them for me. The people I asked didn’t really go deep into the answer so I’m asking everyone. I have more written down for Genesis but I’ll keep it short
Why did God reject Cain’s offering?
Why did Noah get so mad and curse his son’s child?
How did Sodom become so wicked?
I got ya bro. It’s a longer study but here ya go
Cain vs Abel.
God rejected Cains offer because Cain went against what was taught by Adam from
God. God wants man to offer their first fruits to Him. What’s interesting is with Cain being the first born himself, he truly went against his blessing.
Exo 22:29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
Cain used his own understanding and ways, gathered up what he deemed worthy and offered it to God. Whereas Abel listened to Gods word and offered his first fruits/firstborn, that being the flock. Read it one more time.
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
Here’s the Living Gods response:
Gen 4:4 And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
First fruits is important because it’s a representation of Jesus whose the first fruit, first born and also it’s about having increasing your faith in God. In return, our life will be bountiful.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Proverbs 3:9-10
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
We ourselves are the first fruits of the Lord as well.
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
First fruits is an extension of the principles of God.
Currently God has me learning about the House of David. How David operated during his time and how we’re supposed to solely depend on God in our time.
In Genesis 9:21, Ham saw Noah’s nakedness and respect his father by clothing him and blindly walking away.
Genesis 9:22, you see how Shem and Japheth respect aka Honor thy father (commandment) by placing a cover over Noah and walking away.
Due to a lack of respect or maturity from Ham, Noah cursed Ham. Mainly Cannan. Which is why God told Jacob (Shems lineage) not to have children with the descendants of Ham.
No lie I’m ready, I said a few months ago I wasn’t ready yet, and obv material isn’t everything, I can’t just start having faith because of something superficial , but the minute I started praying more(a month ago) things started getting better and better and I inked my deal today. God is good
There’s a chance Trump might be fulfilling the book of revelations
Revelations 13:3-4
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
