Saw this over at Better Bibles (thanks Wayne) and read through all of the posts to date. Mr. Plotz is a proud Jew (though he admits not a terribly observant one—that cracked me up) and is coming at the Bible (in its entirety) for the first time. Pretty interesting reading. |

I’m horrendously sick. My wife says I have a cold but I
have limited my symptoms down to Pneumonia, Meningitis, Tuberculosis, Avian
Flu, or Green-Monkey Ebola. Barring my death I will resume posting—particularly
on Genesis and likely going back into Romans 9 to see how all of this connects
to that. For now, leave me to my sackcloth, ashes and carbuncles.

God’s interrogation of Cain was as gentle as Adam’s: asking
questions without accusing until the need comes for that. It is the honest
seeking of a repentant heart—even though the black heart before Him would lie
and prance around the truth and finally whines upon hearing God’s righteous
judgment.

Special thanks to Marvin for pointing out that the charts
section of the Archive was suffering from DSTS (Defunct Server Transfer Syndrome).
Now you can all witness the clicking power of this fully linked and operational
charts section.

The meaty questions that we may get from looking at this chapter in detail: What are the implications of knowing good and evil in that experiential sense? What does it mean to future generations? How does separation from God affect man’s thinking and ability to act?

Genesis 4 continues Adam and Eve’s story giving us more information on just what happened with Adam who was doomed to die yet was only driven from the Garden. What are the implications of knowing good and evil in that experiential sense? What does it mean to future generations? This death (we’ve noted) is a separation from God yet how does that affect man’s thinking and ability to act?
