Did God make little green apples?

God set the starlight in the firmament (between the terrestrial waters and the clouds) 6,000 years ago, along with the greater & lesser lights. The light was already here the moment the heavenly bodies in outer space were created. Their purpose was to give light upon the earth immediately, not...

Yes.

The bolds are presumptions on your part.

I think He does when each person is born again. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph. 4:24 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Cor. 5:17 Only...

Salvation is by faith alone in all cases. The person who believes is born again and his new nature has the natural propensity to do the good works. Doing those good works is practical sanctification. Those works neither save nor cause a person to stay saved.

"Subconscious" isn't a Bible word. How could you know it's completely honest and open? I would urge anyone not to be hypnotized; to consciously agree to shut down your mental faculties and mindlessly accept someone else's suggestions. Those suggestions need to be assessed and that requires...

For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isn't this a prophesy of the coming Assyrian & Babylonian captivities? The Assyrians & Babylonians will speak to disobedient Israel & Judah with mocking (sing us one of the songs of Zion, etc.) and in a foreign language...

As far as respect or reverence goes, I think any position that doesn't interfere with "... be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long (Prov. 23:17)" is good. I typically pray in whatever position I happen to be in; standing, sitting, walking, lying down, etc. If there's something serious...

I think the "also" has to do with "brought": Cain brought and Abel also brought. I don't think the 'also' necessitates that the contents of what they brought were the same. "Fruit of the ground" and "firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof" are too different to be the same offering. And...

Maybe your value assessment is off. ... without shedding of blood is no remission That's a pretty valuable piece of information.

I'll let you.

God didn't see it that way. Take it up with Him

Did the human race turn into a nudist colony after 3:21? The sheep was killed.

The sheep says "ouch", the veggies don't.

Levitical offerings were hundreds of years in the future. I'm not assuming or presuming any of that. Did you miss the part where it says, "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering"? That innocent...

Cain could have bought one from Abel. Or Cain could have rounded up one of his own. The text doesn't say that Abel owned all the sheep on the planet. 4:3 "And in process of time it came to pass". The earth may have had sheep coming out its ears at the time of the offerings. If there were...

I don't know what "assumptions" you're talking about.

I don't move away from the text when I say that Cain could have offered a lamb. That doesn't violate the text at all.

Yes it does. What's your point? The Bible doesn't say that Cain couldn't have offered a lamb. God said to Cain, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?" That shows that Cain could have.
