The “Seed of Satan” Does the Devil Have Offspring on this Earth? Part 6
The Genetics 'Gospel' Part B
The 'genetics' message comes across loud and clear. We can determine who the genetically defective seed of the serpent are by simply looking at their 'fruits'--their works, or deeds. And we are told, we must realize that they cannot 'change their spots,' cannot turn to Yahvah in true repentance. Their 'genetic incoding'--inherited from their father the Devil—simply will not permit it.
IF this is true, then we should not be able to find any evidence in Scripture that Cain or any of his descendants could have changed for the better. But we do find such evidence!
Notice Genesis 4:1-7 And to process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto YAHVAH. And Abel, he also brought of thr firstling of his flocks and of the fat thereof. And YAHVAH had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and of his offering He had no respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And YAHVAH said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shall thou not be accepted [margin: lifted up]? And thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him [margin: resist sin].
The New American Standard Bible renders the later portion of verse 7 this way: And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.
If Cain could not help but commit sin—if he was bound by his 'genetic incoding,' and could only do what he had been programeed to do—then Why did YAHVAH admonish Him to DO BETTER, and to MASTER ANY DESIRE TO COMMIT SIN? If Cain had no choice in the matter, then YAHVAH's admonition would have been pointless
