Discuss Genesis 4 Page 18

Word

Cheryl Dawn just to add this to think about it, that happened before the law. God made His decision. The way I see it is that Cain came from Satan and many more of Satans followers would have to come to be born of the flesh. Matt. 13:36-40 where the wicked one sends his tares. Jesus spoke to them in John 8. So I know there were kenites. If that helps.

According to the Holy Bible, if any sheds mans blood, they shall have their blood shed. Thankfully I am not one of those ever. So for God to allow Cain to have a mark on him so that others will not kill Cain is against what the Holy Bible later says as I wrote about shedding mans blood. Man as in male and female He made them. Would God go against Himself?Did someone else make Cain kill?If so who?

Gen. 4:7 - "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto the shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."
Paraphrase - If you'll do well, your brother will seek for your counsel, and you'll rule over him as the authoritative head of the family. "The Word Started it All."

James: Abel brought The First of his Flock,The Best. Cain did not. In the Process of time, eventually. Cain brought at best,second best. The Lord told him, if he done better he would be accepted.

James Brown, You said they both did their best.V.5God had no respect for Cain's offering,so God did not think Cain did his best. V.7 "if thou doest not well, sin lies at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire (sin desires him), and you shall rule over him." (but God tells him you shall rule over sin.)
This chapter is here because it is the word of God. And sadly we see the first murder.

I've wondered why that chapter's there
And why was Abel blest
So was it wrong to till the ground
They both just did their best

It might be that it answers why
Some like us and some won't
Remember that we're "godlike" men
God loves us, others won't

So Cain it says was driven out
And founded all our line
That leaves a lot to be desired
None call us now divine

Jesus instructs not be called rabbi, Father, or great instructor. He is our everything, as He says. He is the mediator the new covenant. The old covenant is done away. Book of Hebrews.

Thank the Father for the Trinity, as stated by His Son!

Irene: One of The Trinity or Adam =4

Bruce - quote, "any of the four .... "? what 'four'?

Patsy:She could have heard from it from any of the four.I feel that God let Adam tell Eve of this deadly poison! She knew that they're not allowed to eat of this fruit,she told the serpent that and added to it.Genesis3:1-3 Today,we're told to tell others The Way of Salvation,how to be cleansed from of this deadly poison/--- washed us from our sins in His own Blood, Revelations 1:5/The Light "US"

For Patsy
God commanded Adam not to eat it. Eve was not yet formed. Gen. 2:16-24 will help you understand it better.

1. God made Eve for Adam; therefore the woman was the man's responsibility. The commandment to the man then is also to all that is under the man. 2. The children of Israel HAVE NOT been "studying" for thousands of years; but DEFYING, AND DISOBEYING! Do not suggest that anyone go to those who are in disobedience, for spiritual guidance! They have been blinded to knowledge by God till they repent.

Did God tell eve not to eat fruit from forbidden tree

The jewish people have been studying the old testament for thousands of years. To get insight, true insight may i suggest talking to a Rabbi.

There were many things in the Bible I didn't understand or seemed totally wrong. Just reading The Word every day, going to church five times a week, listening to Christian radio, the puzzle slowly started coming together(years) still there are many???, But that's ok it's His Word and I believe. Genesis 3:20 Eve was the mother of all living(Cain's wife).

Greg,
Genesis 1:26 - God creates man in their own image.
Genesis 2:9 - God creates Adam out of the ground.
God created mankind twice. Cain got his wife from the land of Nod. Were there other people there? We do not know God does not tell us everything in his word. There is time missing from when he creates mankind and Adam.

Adam and Eve were told to be fruitful and to multiply upon the earth by our Lord. At this time it was brothers and sisters who came together to procreate. Today you would get birth defects because of our sinful nature which is also why we don't live as long. Cain had a mark set upon him by God and he was sent into the land of Nod, which is were he found his mate. (Sister)

Where did Cains wife come from

C'mon all us people that DO believe in God and His WORD - let's, IN 'SOFT' answers and LOVE, show the Lord's truth to people ..............

I think IT WAS DNA not a rib....so Men all your ribs are still in tack,.THE helex curb WAS DNA ....... ....

Cain the farmer killed Abel the shepherd. God made him a Nomad. Jabal became first of line of Herdsmen and jubal first minstrel. Cain's Descendants dominate the deserts...Arabia and elsewhere.

Cain wife was one of his sisters. Genesis 5:4 says ; Adam beget sons and daughters. Abraham confess to Sarah been his sister (same father,different mother) and his wife in Genesis 20:11-12. This was permitted before the law. It was stopped by the law(Leviticus 18th and 20th chapters)that came through Moses . Also Jacob was permitted to marry two sisters which was also discontinued by the law.

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Where did Cain's wife come from ? Adam and Eve only had two sons before ! Another son after Cain was sent to nod.

This is indeed true as stated, Jesus descended out of the faithful bloodline of Seth, which is called the true Jewish bloodline today. This is why the Jews are called God's chosen people, because the Messiah would descend from this bloodline.
There were other people on earth during this time they just were not a chosen people. Many of them had their blood tainted with the blood of fallen angels.

...another lesson to be derived from ch4 is firstfruits being the desired sacrifice,not only a show of faith in God's providence, but a foreshadowing of Him sacrificing His firstfruit, Christ

Adam and Eve evidently taught their children about everything that happened, and what God had said to them before they had to leave the garden for good, and go out into the world to work out the rest of their lives. One son was of a gentle disposition, and believed his parents; the older son however heard it in a different way; and took his stand with the serpent, instead of hoping for a Saviour.

God saw the bad emotion and feeling welling up in Cain and he tried to help him get control of it. Cain disregarded God's warning and he gave into the rage.
