Re: Genesis 4:
- And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
- And Jehovah said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” And he said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Hi Pastor John,
I’m wondering about last night’s reading,* on the bottom of the first page where it says, “There was nothing inherently with Cain’s question.” Would it be more accurate to say, “On the face of it there was nothing inherently wrong with Cain’s question”? … because there was something wrong with his question.

Hi Jenny.
I disagree. There was nothing at all wrong with Cain’s question; that is the very reason Cain asked it. There was something wrong with Cain, however, and he was using an otherwise innocent question to hide his guilt. If the question had been inherently evil, Cain would not have asked it because an evil question would have given him away.
I hope that helps.
Pastor John
