Since god created everything that exist and i mean everything down to how the mind works and thinks. How then could Cain be punished when he did exactly what he was created to do? If God did not know what was going to happen then he is not God or just an Ingorant one not relizing what he created.

God didn't create Cain to be a murderer. Cain made that choice all by himself.
The fact that God knew what Cain would do is irrelevant.

Oh boy. Another attempt to make God responsible for the sinful CHOICE a human made.
Can I blame YOU for my choices, good or bad?
When God created, He created perfectly.
Cain had the fallen sinful nature from his parents, the same as you or I do, can we lay the responsibility for our choices on God? Obviously not.

God gave Cain a warning but Cain failed to heed it.
Genesis 4:6 The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."

Because God did not actually create wickedness and sin. He created the basic parts of morality and choice for it to occur but as free moral agents we have the right to choose which table we will eat from... His or Satan's. Cain choose Satan's.
Do not let organized religion fool you! PREDESTINATION is a LIE told by early Catholics and unfortunately believed by billions today. All of our destiny or fate is NOT planned out from the first day He created Adam down to today. You set your OWN destiny. That's why Jesus spoke of the narrow and crooked path to righteousness and the broad and spacious one to destruction. We are not automatons or robots. Animals are we are not. According to the bible we humans were created a little less than the angels with freedom of choice. We are special in God's eyes. That's why he sacrificed His only begotten perfect son as a propitiatory ransom sacrifice to balance out the perfect Adam's sin of disobedience.
Satan and his angels were all once GOOD angels. Satan was even the covering cherub of the Garden of Eden. He chose the dark side and started by trying to take Cain with him, Then he took his brother angels (i.e. demons). Then the daughters of mankind and procreated giants or Nephilim Gen. 6th chapter (Note: who were all drowned in Noah's flood). He was successful with them. Now how will he fair with you and I today? That's the universal question that Job had to face too. How did he turn out? Lesson for us? Read book of Job.

Moe,
Satan was the one who caused Cain to act as he did, NOT GOD. GOD is not the reason that sin came into this world and HE does not cause us to sin. Satan does that. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks,

He gave us freewill.
Sin entered when adam and eve ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. That is why they were removed from the Garden of Eden.
But the salvation was provided through Jesus Christ.

The freewill of mankind & the sovereignty of God work together....
We don't know how......it just does.
Can we explain all the things of God? Absolutely not.....
If we could, then we would be equal to Him
This is where faith & trust come in......and I trust in Him completely

Free Will... apparently.
But then why would god make free will if he knew what it was inevitably going to be used for?
