Honestly Abel had it coming.
>>18419223Seem to me like some Cainite cope because his feefees were hurt, next time he should leave God Not just a bunch of weeds
>>18419247>weedsThey were crops Cain grew. Yahweh is a bloodthirsty vampire who prefers living creatures be sacrificed to him.
>>18419255Sacrifices were made to stave off sin, and sin is paid in lifeblood in the Hebraic religious system, not by the stuff growing out of the ground. God Himself gave pelts of the animals He killed for Adam and Eve to stave off their inevitable demise.
>>18419263>and sin is paid in lifeblood in the Hebraic religious systemYes. The system yahweh designed, because he wanted people to kill animals for him. He designed it that way because his goal was blood sacrifices. He thinks the smell of their burning flesh is pleasing.
>>18419247>>18419255You’re both idiots. God didn’t accept Cain’s offering because he had hate and jealousy in his heart. It has nothing to do with being a farmer though farming/ urbanity as evil is clearly an implication of the story
>>18419223God told Adam and Eve pretty clearly that plants and bread were people food. Frankly it is Cain's fault for not understanding that meat is for God to eat. He should have read Leviticus. (Note, this post is not in earnest)
>>18419247>>18419255>>18419271Okay I see what the problem is. You’re reading the old KJV which isn’t a good translation. This is from orthodox study Bible with commentary >”Did you not sin because you brought it rightly but did not divide it rightly? Be still; his recourse shall be to you and you shall rule over him.”-Genesis 4:7The footnote is in the accompanying image and it says that the Lord told Cain he brought it rightly but did not divide it rightly because he didn’t have a pure heart. I assume the idea that Cain was punished for submitting fruit is a Protestant KJV thing from your antiquated translation.
>>18419255>They were crops Cain grewI think more significant than the fact that Cain gave crops while Abel gave animal sacrifice is that the torah specifically says Abel sacrificed the choicest of his flock to god, while Cain merely sacrificed vegetables, no mention of their quality.
>>18419265>>18419265>The system yahweh designed, because he wanted people to kill animals for him. In Eden - the actual system God designed - there was no Death and all animals and Adam and Eve ate fruits, vegetables and grains. If anything by disobeying God Adam introduced Death in Eden and God not wanting to His greatest creation to die used the lesser ones to ensure Adam would at least live to have a progeny.>inb4 animal death waa-waaI'm not expert in theology when regarding animals, but I'm pretty certain that since animals are not subject to sin - as they have no souls - they do not have to suffer Eternal Death and Hell and can be freely resurrected with zero caveat.
>>18419263it is human narcissism to think that plants are not alive, and to cut them down is any less than to let blood. god weeps.
I still do not understand how Cain found a wife lol.
>>18419320>it is human narcissism to think that plants are not aliveplants do not share the same processes characterizing their method of living, as we do with animals>and to cut them down is any less than to let blood. god weeps.no such moral judgement in the Bible. The closest is in Jonah, and God deliberately make sprout and then kills off a vine to make a point to Jonah, and only in the measure that God tends and cater to all nations like he would a vine, and that Jonah has no right to supersede his judgement on whether a vine should be cut or not.God basically sees plants as objects of work and tending, not as equals to animals and certainly not equal to men. Lower order beings.tl;dr God does not weep

>>18419324>the same sex that simps for serial killer wouldn't have at least one (1) specimen that would totally do the First Murderer in Historywe're talking about the same antediluvian time frame where women started to simp for incarnate demons and carried their children to term. >inb4 acshully is about WHO he possibly marriedAdam had so many sons and daughters Genesis stops listing them after Seth, claiming they were born over a period of 8 centuries. Considering you can get one, maybe two sons or daughter every year, and assuming Eve had some sort of iron womb, we're talking about around 400 to the quite unlikely 800 possible bachelorettes to choose from.
>>18419328>plants do not share the same processes characterizing their method of living, as we do with animalsOn the contrary, there is only one method of living. It is shared by all life. That is why it is all called life. Everything in between is irrelevant to the matter, because there is only a singular substance. May your ignorance be lifted if ever so slightly. Namaste.
>>18419223It's a story about how the nomadic era is over, and they're now settling land.Same shit that you see with urban vs rural life now. If they were going to retell Cain and Abel in 2026, Cain would be of the city, and Abel would be of a small farming town.
>>18419348Just because you do not categorize life further than "cellular activity occurs" does not mean distinct qualities and attributes are not inextricably linked to various groups of living organisms, from which we can derive valueMay you find the Light of Christ, heathen
>>18419364Why is it you are only capable of saying meaningless things? It's almost as though you have nothing to say on the matter, you are engaging in pure reaction. All this effort to blind yourself, then take the name of the Lord in vain. Very foolish behavior from a very stupid LARPer.
Ok my children, make a sacrifice to me from your labors. Oh thanks Cain, I guess. Vegetables. You're a farmer right? Whatever. ABEL OH MY GOSH BLOOD. BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD. I love you so much. Well, try harder next time Cain. You know what I like. -a few moments later- Oh, Cain. You silly goose. Welp, that was pretty cool I won't lie to you. People are mad now, I will protect you now. Enjoy a thousand years as an untouchable vampire. Fun times
