The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

I must say for the longest time I did not get why Abel’s offering was acceptable and Cain’s was not. Was God partial to a juicy leg of mutton vs Cain’s harvest bounty? No, God clearly loved the brothers equally so the issue must be with the offeror and not the offering itself. Cain made his with the wrong motive in his heart and rather than take the correction and reconcile himself, Cain took offense and lashed out in a fit of covetousness and jealousy at his brother. Great lesson for all.
