What does the bible say about how God looked upon Cain's offering?

Genesis 4:5-7: "God did not turn towards Cain and his offering," meaning that He didn't show the same favor towards Cain's offering which He had bestowed upon Abel's offering. According to tradition, this is because Abel took pains to offer the best, while Cain was cavalier and offered whatever came to hand.


Does God know who I really want to be and who I don't want to be?

God knows exactly what and who you don'twant to be. God knows everything - he is divine and almighty. No one can hide things from God, like in the story of Cain and Abel, Cain tried to hide it that he killed Abel, but God knew. And here are some verses in the Bible that say God knows what's in your heart; Deuteronomy 8:2 & Psalm 139:32.


How old was Cain when he kill abel?

The Bible doesn't say.


Where does it say you are you your brother's keeper in the Bible?

Genesis 4:9 goes as follows: Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" No where does it specifically say "You ARE your brothers' keeper," rather it's a question for one to ponder and a snippy remark made by Cain to God.


Did Abel get married?

first of all i would like to say the Bible did not in clear terms record anything of the sort, and looking at the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible critically one can say that Abel was yet to get married at the time he was murdered by Cain and such had no issue and\or Child.


Where did Jehovah Witnesses orgin from?

Jehovah's Witnesses started with Abel, one of Adam and Eve's sons who was killed by Cain. The Bible may not say directly that he was a 'Jehovah's Witness', but it does say he was a witness to God.


What does the Bible say about Cain and able?

Cain and able were Adam and Eve's children in the bible. Forgive me for not knowing the exact details but Cain and Able each gave God gifts (one gave him livestock and one veg, i think), God preferred Able's gift (or at least Cain thought so) and out of jealousy Cain slayed Able. When God later asked Cain where Able was, Cain replyed "Am I my brother's Keeper?" Soon God found out of Ables murder and banished Cain. He then gave Adam and Eve a third son, Seth, to replace the two they had lost. Hope that's helpful!


Why did god reject Cain's sacrifice?

Because God wanted blood. Cain offered only crops, whereas Abel killed one of his sheep and burned it as an offering.Answer 2Biblical scholars often say that God refused Cain's offering because of his sins. Just like we read later in this story.Genesis 4:3-6"At the designated time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground for an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock - even the fattest of them. And the Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but with Cain and his offering he was not pleased. So Cain became very angry, and his expression was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast? Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it."Also, lets emphasize that God is speaking with Cain. He gives him another chance, shows him what is wrong in his behavior. God doesn't speak with Abel, which means that He makes a first step towards siners. Cain could listen to God and give good offering another time but he has chosen otherwise.

Did Cain get married before he killed his brother?

We are not told that, so we can only speculate, based on the chronology in the book of Genesis. After the killing of Abel, there was a curse placed on Cain by God. By request, to protect him from further torture and murder, God placed a sign (mark) on Cain, promising that anyone who killed him would receive of the curse sevenfold. After leaving the presence of God, it is said that Cain went east of Eden and settled in the land of Nod. It is likely there he married his wife, although he may have known her from childhood since everyone was from the same family.


What did god do to protect Cain even though he was sinned?

God put a mark on Cain but the Bible does not say where or what type of mark God put on him.


What hand did Cain kill abel with?

The Bible doesn't say what hand he used, it also doesn't say what he used. It's likely that he used a stick or rock or tool, so he may have used both hands.
