Notes from Genesis

8:21 is pretty hard hitting. Side note: also my birthday. But here we are presented with "even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood."

Every?? Wow. And those were direct quotes from God. Also I think it's cool that God was smelling a sacrifice, and thought the aroma pleasing. Makes me want to cook better.

One other thing I don't understand is God's comment in 11:5. "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

Thoughts, gentleman? Why would God intentionally try to confound us? "then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.". Is there another context to read this in?

Genesis 4-7

Day #2 of our reading, and I learned something new.  There was a third son from Adam / Eve, and his name was Seth.

Seth?

That's had a huge resurgence recently in names, right?  There's like a brazillion Seth's out there right now.  But no Abel's?  No Cain's?
