Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Cainianity is still lively in the 21st century

It's a basic mistake to think that Cain and Abel represent the non-elect and the elect lines! Such an idea is OFF from the start; no, they represent God's children who worship Him their own ways, and those who worship Him is His way.

#Cainianity is still lively in the 21st century.

Gen 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.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
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.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

What did Cain talk to Abel about?

What is the significance of the repeated qualification "his brother"?

What do you think?

Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters.
Gen 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."

Cain was among Adam's children who did worship the LORD but in his own way and not the way THE LORD had appointed.

There are many Cainites in the churches today.
