Narcissism? (Contest: The story of Cain & Abel - Ridge Quinn)


Narcissism? (Contest: The story of Cain & Abel - Ridge Quinn) "Do not keep company with a hot-tempered man Or get involved with one disposed to rage, So that you never learn his ways And ensnare yourself." Or “your soul.” Prov. 22:24, 25. *** Look at Cain of antiquity, in jealousy grown bold, since maybe coddled as a baby like precious human 'gold'? An 'idol' to his mother since birthed first this human soul? Then core becoming rotten when relegated 'second'-- angered... Then uncontrolled? Why didn't he check his motives when offered wise advice? Why not love his brother and contemplate his sacrifice? What's wrong with stopping to consider patience, kindness, and just being nice? No... Thought only of himself. Brought up imitating this evil vice cultivated from both mother and father--Narcissism. Killed Abel spitefully, yes selfishly without looking back or thinking twice... "Then Cain went away from before Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Exile, to the east of Eʹden." Gen. 4:16. Jehovah granting him mercy: "anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven" fold. Gen. 4:15. *** "By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than that of Cain, and through that faith he received the witness that he was righteous, for God approved his gifts, and although he died, he still speaks through his faith." Heb. 11:4. *** "The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Whoever does not practice righteousness does not originate with God, nor does the one who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother. And for what reason did he slaughter him? Because his own works were wicked, but those of his brother were righteous."
