Thanks I would offer. .
Most doctrines are developed and established from Genesis as a foundation to include Genesis 4.
Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that
Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
offering unto the
Lord. And
Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.(just as God required) And the
Lord had
respect (saving grace). .unto
Abel and to his offering: But unto
Cain and to
his offering he had
not respect (saving grace). And
Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the
Lord said unto
Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and
if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And
Cain talked with Abel his brother
the prophet) and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against
Abel his brother, and
slew him. And the
Lord said unto
Cain, Where is
Abel thy
brother? And he said, I know not: (first lie, first murder, first martyr of the father of lies ) Am
I my brother's keeper?
And
he said, What hast
thou done? the voice of thy
brother's blood crieth unto
me from the ground.
John 8:44 Ye are of your
father the
devil, and the l
usts your
father ye will do.
He was a (1st degree
murderer not killer) from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is
no truth in
him. When
he speaketh
a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for
he is a liar, and the
father of
it.
