Ok.
Sin is defined as breaking God's laws.
Cain and Abel both offered sacrafices to the lord. Cain offered up some grain and Abel killed a sheep and offered it to him. God accepted Abels offering and rejected Cains.
So Cain kills Abel.
Now, my question is, since the 10 commandments, (of which 'thou shalt not kill' is one of) didn't come around until the earth was much much more populated, then why was it a sin for Cain to kill Abel?
How would Cain even know that it was something he wasn't supposed to do?
Also, when God 'discovers' (even though he is supposedly omnipotent) Cain, he asks him where his brother his (even, though technically he should have been in heaven with God) and says "What have you done? (Again, God the all knowing is shocked) The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground"... (WTF)??
God talks to blood now? Why would he need to talk to the blood of a dead body and not the spirit that should have been in heaven with him?
