It makes sense that the descendents of Noah would carry their knowledge of God and the history of their people with them when they spread out into the world. (There are flood stories in many cultures around the world- some greatly distorted, but still recognizable.)They would have continued the blood sacrifices after the dispersion because they had been taught this was what God required. However, as their hearts became polluted and their knowledge and understanding of God was polluted, their sacrifices became polluted too. It is very sad to "witness" their great devotion, and know the futility of it. <BR/><BR/>It is to our shame to realize there are people just like this who are alive today, who yearn to know the "unknown God" whose presence they can't escape. And we are too busy "aquiring gold" when we ought to be sharing the real treasure He has revealed to us.Melissa Tellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285808638728829759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14307156.post-53316660591279708092007-09-29T20:05:00.000-06:002007-09-29T20:05:00.000-06:00GB was very disturbed by Cortez and Pizzaro during...GB was very disturbed by Cortez and Pizzaro during our study, also. It really is sad that so much of the history and treasures of the era were destroyed or stolen in the greedy pursuit of wealth and power!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666881968543504432noreply@blogger.com
