Episode 615 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
1. My family and I have begun a year long plan to read through the Bible and we thought it would be encouraging and edifying to reach out to Core Christianity as questions arise in our daily readings and our first question came from Genesis chapter 4, and it's twofold: In verse seven God tells Cain that “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” First, this sounds a lot like works-righteousness. But we know that the first signs of the gospel were delivered to Adam and Eve back in chapter three, could you help us make sense of God's statement here and how it relates to Cain and Abel sacrifices, and then God's plan for salvation? And secondly, the phrase, “its desire is for you, but you must rule over it,” is very similar to what we read God said to Eve in Genesis 3:16, when he says your desire shall be for your husband and he shall rule over you. Is there a connection that we should draw from these similarities, and if so, what is that connection?
