13 hours ago | comment | added | Nigel J | Cain could not be judged as there was no witness and no confession. He chose to leave Adam's household (the presence of the Lord) rather than resolve the matter. | |

yesterday | comment | added | Ryan Pierce Williams | @Kristopher They ate of the fruit of knowledge - which represents the Law - and knew good and evil. At any rate, it was God who judged Cain - not a human judge. So there’s no issue with interpreting the passage in light of the Law if we assume that God is consistent in his judgement. Rather, it would be more problematic to argue that God was using a different standard to judge Cain - showing him mercy despite never owning up to or repenting of his actions. | |
yesterday | comment | added | Mary | Note that there has been semantic drift in the terms. In the time of the KJV, "murder" meant what we would call "assassinate"; "kill" meant "murder"; and "slay" meant "kill." | |
