The bible tells us that if we do things correctly, they have a sweet savour to Yah, Abel’s smole was acceptable, Cain’s was not.

Abel did what Yah’s TORAH instructed, Cain did it according to his own way, and it stank of the Serpent.   Adam chose to eat of the forbidden fruit (the woman was deceived into eating it).    Thus when Adam ‘fell’ the serpent fell with him and any works arising out of Adam’s forbidden knowledge stink of that snake, and is unacceptable to Yah.

This situation applies to everything that we do.    We constantly make choices; good ones and bad ones and indifferent ones.    We can choose to be a follower of the Way and get closer to Yah, or we can choose to follow a religion, priest rabbu or pasror.

If we choose religion we will be following the way of Adam, if we follow Yah’s way then we will need to humble ourselves and walk the Way as a servant and not as a son of the house.

At first,  servant has no part in decision making, he has to prove that he can do his master’s will not interpret his own version of it as Cain did.   Eleazor did this, and thus became part of Abraham’s household (a ‘son’).

We, all of us, need to be aware of whose Way we are following, Yah’s Way starts the moment we choose to leave the prodigal’s ‘pigsty’, we as individuals step out the door, we alone make that decision, we choose to approach the father as a servant, His Torah is our plumbob, our instrument to straighten our path.   As we keep His laws, His Statutes and His Judgements so we become changed into His likeness and we can be trusted with the tasks of Sonship.

We lose the stink of the serpent and become a sweet savour.
