    Cain's Offering

    Well, it should be obvious of what Thou, thee and comest, etc, means. My original point in all of this, is that I look at all translations and not just one. I don't just stick to one translation. If you want to stick with the KJV, then that is your prerogative. I just don't like reading in...

    Cain's Offering

    I provided the very scripture that used the word "offering." But here it is again. "And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but He had no regard for Cain and his offering" "By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when...

    Ok, posthuman, believe whatever you like. I have given the reasons, which are true.

    Cain's Offering

    This is ridiculous John! We are not 16th century people having to use those words. We know what thee, thou, wenst comes, hither and such means in our modern language. So please don't infer that Thou is except and you is not.

    Cain's Offering

    No, I read all of the translations all of the time. I'm continually comparing them. I haven't settled on any single one. One that I have been reading recently is the "Berean Study Bible" and the "Berean Literal Bible" and then over to the "The New Living Translation." Then I will check the...

    What is your BEST PROOF for a pre-trib Rapture?

    Then you have no understanding of the severity and magnitude of God's coming wrath via the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments. Just from logical reasoning, it is more prudent for the Lord to remove His church, opposed to protecting them in the midst of the worst time in the history in the...

    Cain's Offering

    "By faith Abel offered God [a better sacrifice] than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead." "And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, (because it required shed blood), but He...

    Cain's Offering

    It is because you are rejecting the information that I gave to you regarding the fact that the church is mentioned 19 times in chapters 1 thru 3 and then suddenly vanishes from the narrative. So you are not taking that into consideration. As I previously made known, the very fact that the...

    What is your BEST PROOF for a pre-trib Rapture?

    What does the above have to do with the church being gathered prior to God's coming wrath? The answer is nothing! You just pulled out a scripture and said, "see!"

    What is your BEST PROOF for a pre-trib Rapture?

    First of all, when you say "we are told not to be afraid at that time" what scripture are you referring to? Take note of what you said above, that "the righteous will be on the earth during the desolation of the wicked." So, you're saying that God is going to punish the righteous with the...

    Cain's Offering

    First of all, it is important to understand the difference between the church and the great tribulation saints. The church = All believers from the on-set of the church up until the resurrection Great tribulation saints = Individuals who become believers after the church has been removed from...

    Cain's Offering

    Thank you for your compliment. And the Lord bless you for your desire to know this information. "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." - Rev.1:3 God's ultimate wrath...

    Cain's Offering

    That's what it represents. Abel made an offering to God, which had to do with shed blood. And Cain's offering was rejected, because it was not of from his crops, i.e. his own works.

    Cain's Offering

    That is correct! Regardless of what time Cain brought his offering, it would have been rejected and that because it did not have to do with the shedding of blood. Cain's offering represents our attempt to be reconciled to God through our own works. From the very beginning God has been...

    Cain's Offering

    Good day Butterflyy, I started out with the KJV, but it is not my choice translation. I would suggest using an app that allows you to see all of the major translations of verse all at the same time. This will allow you to compare how each translation stacks up against each other. For the most...

    Cain's Offering

    Good day 49 I'll answer the first one. Abel's offering had to do with shed blood, where Cain's didn't. Unless there is a shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for sins. Abel's offering represents faith Cain's offering represents his own works

    But what if so and so is going to Heaven too?

    Good day Going_Somewhere, If you are in Christ, you can be assured of the forgiveness of your sins and eternal life. However, to say that you are "probably going to Hell" is not having faith. You need to trust in the promise, that if you believe in the Lord Jesus you will be saved. You need to...

    When the body dies, what happens to the spirit?

    Jesus body was in the tomb for 3 days, but his spirit went down into Sheol/Hades, the same place where Abraham and Lazarus were, as well as the rest of the OT saints. The reference to "paradise" is referring to that place of comfort where Lazarus and Abraham were, not heaven. If you can...
