Yes due to jealousy, although I'm not sure about his repentance.

i personally don't view him as evil, b/c we were simple back then, and I didn't like how god told him he did something bad, so once I first read that, for myself, I start to think, and I knew of the Gnostic faith at this point and I new they believed in a lesser god. So in my search for the truth I placed christian beliefs, and Gnostic beliefs together and came up with what i feel is fact.
To begin I must ask you, why did the seperant/Satan trick us? what reason would he have to do so? why would god let him, if hes all knowing?
So when I asked this question, i said i will never trust anything pass the first verse of Genesis, the creation story, because it has no contradiction in it. But then it was a matter of who god is talking to during the creation, and I don't like the whole trinity thing, so I said hes talking to an equal, almost like a co-worker, and that equal being Satan, or the Lesser God, now hes not truly evil, but he didn't like the 'work" Jehovah had done, so he told Jehovah "I bet I can", and every since then God and Satan has been placing bets on all of humanity, and it even mentions a bet of theres in the bible. So with that said this is were alot of contridition from the bible come from,the two of them playing a game, one is always trying to help, the other trying to mess up. I cant go on with this story, if I did you wouldnt read it....so i would leave you with this note, this dont answers your ?, but listen to you heart

No. I am a Christian, and I do not believe that Cain was evil. He sinned in the submission to the passions of envy and the murder of his brother, but he was not evil, persay. He simply allowed his human weakness to overcome him.

Cain didn't start off evil.
He allowed himself to be overcome with jealousy and anger that pushed him to do something very wrong.
That's what Jews and Christians say.
Muslims? Do they even know Cain?

Anyone who is not a believer will have either an incomplete or erroneous view.
You can have a quite high academic understanding of scripture, but it doesn't make you one of the elect.
It simply says the man was a murderer. No murderer has eternal life.

Cain wasn't evil... Cain was overcome by jealousy... in short.. he was human and he gave in to the violent side of his human nature.

You see, the Pagan Deity "ALLAH' was known maybe centuries before Mohammad. Pre-Islamic Arabs adopted "ALLAH' and included him in the Kaaba. There's no historical proof that "ALLAH' is Arabic. The God Allah was not originally Arabic..only adopted; the Ancient Arabs were very good at adopting inventions ...etc. "Allah' is definitely not Arabic.
