Thought for Today: Sunday May 18
You must remember that you live in a fallen world, an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustrations and failures result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this life except YHVH! That is why closeness to Him will satisfy deep yearnings and can fills you with Joy.
U+2693 does anyone know of any pagan origins to the anchor symbol used by first century christians? From the little research I did, it seems to be the only non greek symbol used. I have a purpose for it, but dont want to use it if it has any pagan connections. Thank you for your input!
Compare Genesis 2:8,”Then the Lord God planted a garden in the East, in a place called Eden. He put the man he had formed in that garden.” with Genesis 4:17,” Cain had intimate relations with his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city. He named it after his son Enoch.” Our Creator placed Adam in the garden and after Cain kills Able he went to build and live in a city. This indicates a slight negative idea of a city as a place where people live in a type of exile far away from the perfect garden that was free of sin.
