Subject: Why was God unhappy with Cains offering? |
Bible Note: Possibly, but when you read Genesis 4:6-7 you see that God gives Cain a chance to respond correctly which would indicate it was something that Cain himself had done inappropriately. After the offering was rejected, God gave Cain a chance to correct the wrong and even encouraged him to do so. It appears that Cain refused. WOS |
