Bible Note: Hello Merv, That word limit is annoying when you first get it. :-( And worse when you forget it later. Cain - an interesting situation there. There proper response (as we learn later) was execution either by Adam or one of his offspring. But that's not the judgement given! In fact, God ensures that he will not be killed by another's hand. So while there was a sin committed, there was no law broken because one had not been given yet. So God dealt with it personally. Abraham - When I use Law (capitalized) I mean the Mosaic Law given at Sinai. God gave commands before the Law was given. 2) Lev 11-13 says things about washing, but they are for very specific reasons and none of them are washing hands before a meal. 3) "Your quoting of Gen. 9:3-4 is the declaration of God to eat clean meat only." No it's not. You are adding "clean" to the text. Stick with the text. About the poisonous plants, what had God commanded? Gen 1:29 (ESV) And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food." How many poisonous plants yield seed? How many trees with seed in its fruit are poisonous? I honestly don't know, but I would be inclined to believe there aren't any. Steve |
