Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
In PETA‘s version of Genesis, Abraham befriends a lamb instead of sacrificing a lamb, and both Abraham and Sarah adopt a dog named Herbie, for PETA believes God wouldn’t ever permit animal cruelty, and thus, these creative liberties have been taken. According to Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, “The Bible has long been used to justify all forms of oppression, so we’ve used Chat GPT to make it clear that a loving God would never endorse exploitation of, or cruelty to animals.”
Now, some may say that they would never read any such version of Genesis, but could it be that some folks may already be thinking along PETA’s lines of reasoning. For instance, which of the two offerings brought by Cain and Abel would be deemed more humane?
We dare to suggest that most persons might vouch for Cain’s brand of worship, if given a choice, for his offering apparently spared the life of an innocent lamb, and thus, because the shedding of blood is something that most persons recoil from, it is not a stretch to think that Cain’s worship will most likely, be more pleasing to the majority of people.
Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
