Description

Genesis 4:1-17 Who would you rather be, Cain or Abel? We are all much more like Cain than Abel. That story is in the Bible to tell us we're much more like Cain than Abel…now what are we gonna do about it? American Indian Cherokee Parable of the 2 wolves God isn't true because the Bible said so. The Bible is true because God said so. Hold my own beliefs up to objective Truth regularly. It's not about what I want to be true. Culture seeps in & tries to dilute truth. I want to believe the God that is, not the God of my imagination. It's not true because the Bible said so, the Bible said so because it's true. When you're in a conversation, it's not a debate.
