“ Great Teaching! ”
I've been thinking--”Danger, Will Robinson, danger!”--man does not like his God-given name because it defines him as a being that is tied to the earth. This name reminds him that he is not the Elohim or even a god. So, he is always (like at the tower of Babel) trying to change his name, that which defines him, to a name that means he is more than man, to a name that's great. But there is only One Who has the right to change our name, the One Who has the Name that is above all names: the Lord Jesus Christ, the One that named man.
Umm...your “instant language day” comment/joke made it seem like God was caught off guard and had to tweak His plan, and I know from your other messages that you don't, in even a teeny-weeny way, believe that.
Thank you, Dr. Sanders, for making me think about things that I'd accepted without giving any thought about it and hadn't realized that I had. |

“ Great Teaching! ”
My speculation :-) when I came to this part in Genesis: Oh, I see. Cause he had to bring an offering to God from the fruits of his labor, Cain just yanked something out of the ground, so to speak. (I thought of Malachi 1 where God said the priest were contemptuously serving/offering sacrifices to Him.) Abel, showing how he felt about God, was real careful about his offering. He brought to God the first--and the best of the first--of the “fruits” of his labor.
Question: Dr. Sanders, what is your source for “worthless” and “strength?” I've been looking and can't seem to find those meanings for the names Abel and Cain.
I didn't know, until I sat down and thought about it, because of eschatology being used as a big money maker, and the eschatological arguing, I had become rather end-time weary. I am so glad, Dr. Sanders, that I took a chance and “peeked behind” your end-time titles. |
