3: Cain and His Legacy – SPD Discipleship Video — 1 Comment

  1. This presentation has many good things in it, but I wonder why the presenter rejects the Bible’s own explanation of the difference between Abel’s and Cain’s offering – that Abel’s offering was “by faith” and that Cain’s was not. (See Hebrews 11:4) Rather he says that the fault lies in Cain not bringing “his best.” While Ellen White also mentions that Cain did not bring his best, she does not suggest that as an alternative to the explanation given in Hebrews 11:4. In fact she amplifies the Hebrews reference in suggesting that the two offerings represented salvation by faith (Abel) and salvation by works (Cain’s attempt to offer a “gift”).

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
