We gloss over the story of Abel and Cain at our own peril, the story explains the origin of ‘religion’ and how Cain, under the influence of the serpent defied Yah and changed the basis of life on earth.
When Adam rejected Yah and chose his own knowledge of good and evil instead, he did so with the knowledge that the serpent was right there beside him, encouraging him to do it his way rather than Yah’s Way (the Way of Torah).
So Cain rejected Yah and chose his own ‘religion’ instead, but in fact it was not his own religion, it was the serpent’s religion.
When a man takes the base core of Yah’s Truth, and adds to it or takes away from it, he creates a ‘religion’, and the more it deviates from Yah’s Truth, the more malignant it is.
If we take the religion of Atheism for example, in recent history Atheism has caused the deaths of millions in nations that have flirted with socialism and communism, note also that these religions took many into slavery and worked them to death.
The Way of Yah is not miscible with slavery; many times in the scriptures Yah stresses that he brought us out of slavery. Religion tends to enslave us, it substitutes the serpent’s truth for Yah’s Truth and obfuscates the Way to free ourselves from the Yoke of bondage. Yah calls us to Liberty, and, in Liberty we can chose to discard our own puny knowledge of good and evil and seek Yah’s Way, seek His knowledge and truth.
It starts in the first verse of the bible, we must acknowledge to ourselves that “In the beginning Yah created” we can find much of the Way of Yah in the scriptures, other details will be revealed as we travel His Way, He will meet us from afar and guide us home. It does not all happen at once – it is a long and winding road……
