BIBL 410 Weekly Study Questions 3 Liberty University answers complete solutions. The Beginning of Civilization/The Flood Answer thoroughly the following questions based on this module/week’s Reading & Study material: 1. Explain the meaning of the word “knew” in Genesis 4:1. “Knew is a common euphemism for sexual union (cf. Gen 19:5; Num. 31:17, 18, 35; Judg. 11:39; 19:22, 25; I Sam. 1:19; etc.).” (Davis 97) 2. How is God’s grace evident in chapter 4 of Genesis? Be thorough. As we see with Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:9, God comes to the sinner instead of waiting for the sinner to go to Him. He approached Cain to want him that “if he sins, tragedy will follow.” This shows how God went out of His way to lead Cain down the right path. When the Lord approached Cain after he killed Abel, He asked where Abel was with patience. God made sure that nobody who was mad would kill Cain by putting a mark on Him. Considering Csin was being punished for killing his brother, this was a great show of grace. (Davis 99-100) 3. Look up the following verses and explain each verse individually and how it fits the story of Cain and Abel: John 8:44 – The devil was a murdere in the beginning as he influenced Cain to kill his brother. This is evident when the Lord warned Cain that sin was lurking at the door. Satan was trying to use Cain in the same way he used the serpent in the Garden I John 3:12 – This verse confirms that Cain was used by Satan because it says that his father was the wicked one. Hebrews 11:4 – By faith, Abel chose to please God by offering a pleasing sacrifice ot the Lord. Whereas Cain chose to follow the enemy’s promptings. Hebrews 12:24 – As Hebrews 11:4 also shows, Abel’s blood still cries out from the ground, because it was shed by his brother Cain. 4. Where did Cain get his wife? Support your answer from the Bible. The Bible says that Adam and Eve had both sons and daughters, meaning Cain must have married one of his sisters (Genesis 5:4). 5. Offer two explanations as to why the patriarchs lived so long. As Davis says, “He... who is duly impressed by the excellence of man’s original state, will have no difficulty in accepting the common explanation that even under the curse of sin man’s constitution displayed such vitality that it did not at first submit to the ravages
