1 | Thanks Giving to The SBF | Eph 5:20 | Zalmonah43 | 230392 | ||
The apostle Paul, in fact, became concerned about Jewish Christians who still were “scrupulously observing days and months and seasons and years.” He remarked: “I fear for you, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting you.” (Gal. 4:10, 11) Why was Paul so concerned? Because, despite his hard work, these former Jews were clinging to religious observances that God no longer desired. They were missing the “spirit” of Christianity. On the contrary, the idea of a single day of thanks undoubtedly would have reminded the early Christians of the pagan Romans, who held an annual thanksgiving celebration in December. A writer of the second century noted: “We [Christians] are accused of a lower sacrilege, because we do not celebrate along with you the holidays of the Cæsars in a manner forbidden alike by modesty, decency, and purity.” |

3 | Was Cain the son of satan? | Gen 4:1 | Zalmonah43 | 230361 | ||
Gen.4:1 Says Now Adam had intercourse with Eve his wife and she became pregnant. In time she gave birth to Cain and said: “I have produced a man with the aid of God.” So Adam was Cain’s father, not Satan. Cain then “went away from the face of God and took up residence in the land of Fugitiveness to the east of Eden.” (Genesis 4:16) Having taken a wife he built a city that he named after Enoch, his firstborn son. Cain’s descendant Lamech turned out to be as violently inclined as his ungodly forebear. But the family line of Cain was wiped out in the Flood of Noah’s day. —Genesis 4:17-24. We can learn from the accounts of Cain and Abel. The apostle John exhorts Christians to love one another, “not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother.” Cain’s “works were wicked, but those of his brother were righteous. | ||||||
