genesis 4

 In Genesis chapter four, we see the sad case of Cain - the first child born, and the poster boy for the folly of trying to lie to God. Cain was so jealous of his brother Abel, he killed him and then tried to cover up his wrongdoing.

Today we learn a valuable lesson from Genesis four-  there is one way to God and we had better come to Him on His terms - not ours. We are looking back at the most requested messages from 2023. The story of Cain and Abel, and the sacrifices they brought to God, is what we’ll focus in on here today. 

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is sharing a new series in Genesis titled “Foundations”, and we’ve come to Genesis chapter four and the descendants of Cain. There are remarkable similarities to our day today providing great insight to our dilemma. One of those descendants of Cain was a man names Lamech.

Evidence of the goodness of God is found in how gracious and patient He is towards those who reject Him. It’s surprising to see His response. Case in point - Cain!  We’ll hear his story today on Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley.

In this episode I talk about nonviolence as an expression of nonduality. I explore the origin of violence by looking at the biblical story of Cain murdering his brother Abel. I see the solution to violence – including gun violence - in nondual awareness. 

Blake and Kevin continue our walkthrough of Genesis by diving into Genesis, chapter 4. The hosts discuss the magnitude of Cain's sin against Abel and delve into the causation behind Cain's wandering away from God. Other topics that arise from Genesis 4: God's desire to help us even when we sin, learning how to know God as a Father, and, the true heart behind offering our "firstfruits" to the Lord. Lastly, the hosts discuss a recent trend in biblical scholarship: was Cain born in the Garden of Eden?
