Why Did Cain Kill Abel

 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾⛺️🏕️

Why is it that Cain slew Abel? Seems like God right away wanted to make a point. By his allowing things to flow in that direction so soon. What sort of beings would we be if we had no power of choice? Just imagine that.. What would we be like? And if there is power of choice, isn’t it possible to strike out at another? In thought word or deed? Then you have strayed of course, from perfection into imperfection, greek “hamartia” -“missing the mark” labeled sin.

     But God is life. The Life. [“In the beginning God” what else could be?] And he “is perfect”. So what does that make imperfect? (The exact opposite of life is unavoidably the prognosis/result/wage.) If you were Creator, what would you do? Thinking includes at least some power of choice. (And as Life, God will experience and live through all that ever occurs?)

     An important point of logic  - root word logos, I’m thinking Truth is utterly logical - if God chooses when each and every person “comes to the Lord” - to the truth of Christ, and afterwards he prunes, determines their progress, is there any logical reason why it wouldn’t be the same process for all of us humans? Whether “during what’s called today” or upon/during  “the judgment” (the “aionios kolasin”/eonian correction)?

     Logically (it seems to me anyway) lake of fire is earthly prophecy

(notice the where and when if the three mentions) and is definitely no where near being a ‘forever’ punishment or pruning.

     Making the Lord’s long second advent, very likely a wider, longer, and to full scope version of his first so brief one. Yet with helpers serving. Called reigning.. for surely to do His works, is to reign? (Mt.25:1-13, the door is to?)

     The grape harvest will far exceed the wheat harvest! (1Cor.15:22-24,28 with Mt.13:33, key word 3.) A case of first will be last and last will be first/greater? Imagine all the people from all nations, all their generations, from all their times. What a glorious crowd! And what glory when - all - is said and done! And can we think it will be anything less than total closure for all things and for all individuals? He IS after all “perfect”.

     I do think it’s important (imperative?) we realize the conditions portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable is the - inner - outside of the light, darkness. The “gnashing of teeth” and the “give me please a drink of cool water for my dry, parched throat” condition, that surely - due to God’s perfection and how “with God all things are possible” - will progress into the weeping.. Even for some (think despots, serial killers, sex slave traffickers..) self condemnation and beating self with maNy stripes! Which of course is exActly how it should be. (Closure for their victims, will be their heart and gut wrenching remorse - surely? Imagine awakening in God’s bright light and you had been a genocidal despot spending your life “crushing the faces of the poor”!)

     God made the human psyche.. a sort of unavoidable osmosis? And “Christ Crucified” is a strong enough truth and image to not only calm every delicate psyche, but to appease even the most guilty of consciences.

     There’s also this, mankind’s strong delusion where man/anthropos is as seated in the temple as God(!)/highest power (theory compliments of the world’s popular and having emerged top prophet) totally misses the mark as all matter is decomposing. So there must be something beyond and behind matter, that is greater than matter. And what is greater than matter? Life and Intelligence. And the highest of Life is Love, and the highest of Intelligence is Genius. Our God is unlimited Life and Love, and unfettered Genius. There is no escape. Some will awaken still blaming God.. But just how do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? Two options? Total ant farm, or let the dis-ease run its course to attaining total herd immunity?
