Yours - THis would also make GOD seem to be arrogant,no?????




The following verses from various bibles indicate that IF you DO what is RIGHT then you WILL be ACCEPTED. They also indicate that we are to overcome sin. Are you suggesting that YHWH lied?


Genesis 4 (NIV)
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

Genesis 4 (NASB)
7 "(1) If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? (2) And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, (3) but you must master it."

Genesis 4 (MSG)
7 If you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you don't do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it's out to get you, you've got to master it."

Genesis 4 (AMP)
7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.

Genesis 4 (KJV)
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Genesis 4 (HCSB)
7 If you do right, won't you be accepted? But if you do not do right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must master it."[1]

Genesis 4 (CEV)
7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling. [1] But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it!
