Cain — Insights from the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament

Where are You?

We are not built for guilt. Guilt means “liability to punishment” in the Hebrew Bible. Guilt inevitably impacts how we answer the questions posed to us as individuals.

Cain and Saul: Seed of the Serpent

Cain and Saul—representatives of the seed of the woman, display anger, jealousy, envy, and homicidal tendencies toward men who are depicted as forerunners of the ultimate seed of the woman, Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15). The first man, Cain, displays his connection to the serpent at worship. The second character, Saul, displays his serpent characteristics at home.
