How To Study The Bible. Part [3] 06/05/2023 (Evening thought)

Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 4 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: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

As an animal rights organization PETA has clearly made positive contributions to the advancement of the humane treatment of animals, both at home and abroad. Changes have been made for the better in many ways that are without a doubt, beneficial to animals that, would otherwise have been neglected and abused. But we must drill down deeper, for if they now find it necessary to mint a revised version of the Genesis story to make it more humane and animal friendly, it begs of investigation, as to why such a rendition is warranted on ethical grounds.

Now if ethical issues are brought into question, that would undoubtedly call God’s character to account, since very much of all the animal activity in Genesis has to do with God directly, from their creation to the sacrifices that were ordained by God Himself.

Using Chat-GPT to write their version, they’ve now made a makeover of the Genesis account, filled with animal rights and vegan teachings. In their version, animals are referred to as “beings”, not as creatures or beasts, and plant fibers, like hemp, and bamboo, are used in place of animal skins for clothing, hinting that it was cruel of God to make clothing of skins.

Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
