Genesis 3:24, “God forced the man out of the garden. Then God put angels on the east side of the garden. He also put a sword of fire there. It flashed around in every direction. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.” When our Creator forced Adam out of the garden mankind was one degree removed from God and perfection. After Cain killed his brother and moved east of Eden (Gen.4) his family was one more degree removed from God and perfection. Every sin moves us farther away from our Creator.
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!
