Cain sought to honor himself instead of god.when adam and eve sined in the garden they tried to covet their sin from god. God chose to do it for them by using coats from animal skin this was the first blood sacrafice.The bible doesent say what animal was used i belive it was a lamb. The old testament has many examples of blood sacrafice they are a precurser to the finial blood shed at the cross for all mankind.we are covered by the lamb of god for our sins. The main thing is god chose this way in the garden and god does not change.the old testament shows and gives us deeper understanding in our walk with god. Cain sought to honor himself much like satan and was not obedient to god by not providing a blood sacrafice in the way able did.
The Sin.
Where did it come from?
Obviously Adam did not have it before he ate the fruit of knowing bad from good, because all he must have had was good since he could see or hear God which God is nothing but good and all light without darkness.
I guess that Adam was a spiritual being without sinful body when he lived in the garden of Eden.
Therefore, I think, after our death with good spirit we can see Jesus face to face without any hesitation, because there will be no sinful body.
Before he realized they are naked which was before they ate the fruit, Adam did not have sin or a sinful body.
Therefore he could not commit a sin.
What I'd like to think is that when they ate the fruit, God instantaneously gave them sinful body as God planned.
> i belive it was a lamb.
Now faith, I deeply appreciate you thought.
You showed us your imagination toward the Bible and this may come from the deep thought about God.
This is what I treasure in conversation of other brothers and sisters.
It may not be written in an exact word or not even suggested, but the heart feeling idea is what God may have meant, without it Jesus could be a mere prophet or just another story teller.
Nowadays, we all have a pc and we can read the Bible on it and we can "google" any words in the Bible.
I do not have vast knowledge of the Bible, but if I want to, I can find information about any words by clicking my mouse.
So, without posting your idea of the words of the Book, you just tell me where it is in the Bible , I can read it later.
The original sin is believed in our flesh inherited from Adam and Eve among Christians - at least that is my understanding, there is no word of original sin in the Bible.
Here is what I've found in Wikipedia about "Original sin."
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyones account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did Gods grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one mans sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive Gods abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans says because all sinned －
Moses let us know what sin is, Jesus let us know where the sin is.
The sin is in flesh not in spirit, that's why Jesus put himself on the cross, sacrificed his blood.
I understand that, but I am not a ancient Hebrew, I don't understand it like them.
I know even human sacrifice in Aztecan religion or custom, however, how did it get to human's mind?
Laying flowers for someone who died, it's a symbolic action to console the spirit of the dead.
Actually it's consoling our sole and spirit who is alive.
Jesus died for living human.
So, we can live in Heaven without death, if we have love to each other.
And those who do that and those who meat each other, I think that is a beautiful church in the eye of God.
1 Corinthians 15: 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he has put everything under his feet.[c] Now when it says that everything has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
We all die because of sin.
If we don't know what is sin, where it came from, why we have it, we may not know why Jesus died for us.
I believe I can see my sin in the bottom of my deep heart and sin is there where even I could not see-the sin I could commit without myself knowing it.
Personally, that's why I need Holy Spirit here in my heart.
