I think that means the motives for Cain killing Abel is loosely based on the bible. Jealousy, because Abel has all that should have been his; Strife, disagreement in providing sacrifices and having faith towards God; Enmity and anger when Abel tried to change his ways. This is purely based on what I think of the story. Anyway, thank you for the explanation.Nerea wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 08:47 It does specify. Cain killed Abel because he was jealous of him. Why? Because God accepted Abel's sacrifices, but rejected Cain's sacrifices.(Ref: Gen 4:3-8) "His rejection of Cain’s sacrifice resulted in the wrong disposition being made clearly manifest by Cain. “The works of the flesh” now began to be openly produced by Cain: “enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger.”
As for the book's motives, I won't comment on that.
