17 de junio Si haces bien, ¿no serás aceptado? Y si no haces bien, el pecado yace a la puerta y te codicia, pero tú debes dominarlo. Génesis 4:7 Pecado – la primera vez que leemos la palabra hebrea hatat (pecado) es aquí en la historia de Caín. ¿Te sorprende esto? Debería. ¿Y que de…
“a ti será su deseo, y tú te enseñorearás de él” Génesis 4:7 Pecado – Una vez más reconozco mi deuda al esplendido trabajo del Rabino David Fohrman por éste análisis.

but you must master it Genesis 4:7 Master – Everything important happens in the first three chapters of Genesis. Plus the appendix of the story of Cain. This verse is absolutely crucial. Why?

“sin is crouching at the door, and its desire is for you, but you must master it” Genesis 4:7 Desire – Why should we be stewards of our emotions? Who cares how we feel as long as we behave correctly? Ah, there is a deep answer here, but it is not the answer we might…
“sin is crouching at the door, and its desire is for you, but you must master it” Genesis 4:7 Master – God can’t do everything. No, it’s not blasphemy to say this. God can’t do what He intends you to do without violating your freedom of choice. And since His purposes include your freedom of…
“sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it”. Genesis 4:7 Crouching – Genesis chapter 4 is the story of Cain and Abel. It is a story that we have probably known since childhood God knows that emotional situations can become the seedbed for sinful acts. He…
