Now after God gives his punishments - he kicks them out of the Garden of Eden. The bible doesn't say anything about doing away with the garden of Eden it says he placed Cherubim and the Flaming Sword (which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life) See if Adam and Eve could get to the tree of life then they could once again live forever and God would not allow this because they were now sinners.
Now the Bible goes straight into Adam & Eve getting pregnant. Eve gave birth to Cain then gave birth to Able. Able was a keeper of flocks and Cain was a tiller of the ground. We are fixing to see the different heart that these two brothers have.
It says that Able brought a offering to God - the firstlings of his flock and their fat portions. Cain gave of the fruit of the ground. God had regard for Able's offering, but no regard for Cain's.
Now some people see this as God doing wrong - because both brothers gave their offering to him. So why did God have regard for Able and not Cain? Well God knows everyones heart and he knew Cains heart. Cain did not give from his heart and God knew this. Cain proves his selfishness and sinfulness in his reaction to God not having regard for him. Cain got angry at God even though he was the one that done wrong in the first place.
Tomorrow Ill talk more on Caine and Ables different personalities that leads to the 1st murder in the Bible and Gods forgiveness.
