“What always strikes me in the story of Cain and Abel is how often the word "brother" is used. Cain killed his "brother." God says it was "the blood of your brother." The killing was done to another human being, a child of God like you, breaking that sacred bond of common humanity.” HumansChildrenDoneStoriesUsedHumanityHuman BeingsCommonBloodBrotherLike YouSacredKillingStrikesChild Of GodYour BrotherCainCommon HumanityAbelCain And Abel Author:Allan Boesak
“I believe scripture is not just resilient but rebellious against its abuse by people. Scripture says it refuses to be used in that way for long. That is why the gospel that has been used by the oppressors is the same gospel that liberated the oppressed: They were reading the same book. Something in the DNA of Christian faith and in the Bible agitates against that kind of misuse.” PeopleWayBelieveKindLongHas BeensBookChristianUsedReadingI BelieveAbuseRefuseScriptureOppressedDnaRebelliousLiberatedOppressorsResilientChristian FaithMisuseAgitate Author:Allan Boesak
