Cain and Abel: Explanation Please. Pretty Pretty Please!

@ Huggy.

I don't really care all that much whether Cain is the son of Adam or the Serpent doctrinally because it's all fiction. But you are really bending the text to hell and gone to get where you are going with the Cain son of the serpent idea.

Using the KJ just for you:

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Genesis 3:4-7 Notice that it is eating the fruit and not sex (sex is not mentioned that causes Adam and Eve to know they are naked.

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 3:14-15
Notice that God talks about eh serpent's seed and Eve's seed (yes Eve's seed sorry if you don't think Eve has seed but god says she does). So Eve's descendants are different and people and snakes don't get along.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Genesis 4:1-2 So you see Eve didn't conceive until Adam slept with her and she attributed the baby to God.

Nowhere is there any suggestion that the serpent had sex with Eve, only Adam did that.

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Genesis 4:25 Notice that she refers to her children as her "seed". Notice also that the language concerning Seth is almost identical to that regarding Cain. She got him by sleeping with Adam and the help of the Lord, just like she got Cain. So Cain and Seth are full brothers. Any other conclusion is contrary to Genesis.

I find it a little ironic that your version of the story is angels coming down and having sex with humans, while I'm saying that it was the Descendants of Adam, yet my version is the insane one.

Obviously whatever happened had something to do with genetics because Giants were produced, where did these giants come from? We determined by your own evidence that is was not angels, so that leave only one place you can go.

God does not spell out everything plainly, take this scripture for example.

John 11
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Or this one.

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

But you can't find anywhere in the Bible where any one was baptized in the name of the "Father, Son and Holy Ghost", they all baptized in the name of the "Jesus Christ"

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Which means that Jesus Christ IS the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. In other words Jesus was the God of the Old Testament, which is why he stated that he is the Alpha and Omega. But yet the majority of churches baptize in the name of the "Father Son and Holy Ghost" not realizing they are doing it wrong.

Which brings us back to the garden of Eden.
The reason it is written in this manner instead of coming out and explaining it in plain language, is because it is also using the story as a foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Jesus. In Eden we have the Tree of Life and the Tree of Good and Evil, and when Adam and Eve fell, God expelled them from Eden "lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:".

Genesis 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

As we see here, God placed an Angel to block the way to the tree of life.

This punishment was only to last for a certain period of time until the birth of Jesus Christ.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Not only is Jesus the way back to eternal life, he IS the Tree of Life. Does not the Bible refer the the Crucifix as a tree?

Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

So therefore Jesus dying on the "tree" grants us eternal life, making him the Tree of Life. The picture is not complete however because there was also the Tree of Good and Evil, Which brings us to Judas who being a hypocrite (both good and evil) also hung himself from a tree.

Now do you see the whole picture?

If the Bible came out plainly and told you it was a sexual act, it breaks the whole foreshadowing of the crucifixion.

Everyone is not able to see it that way, which is why "revelation" is required, then your eyes are opened to see things everyone else misses.
