Ok. Then explain the two seperate bloodlines from the same mother Eve. Who screwed with her to get her pregnant with cain? Cains bloodline eventually begat the Muslim bloodline supossedly. ANd the next son after abel started the bloodline for Eventually jesus.
Cain's line was destroyed. Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth plus their wives were from Seth. And the only flood survivors.

Teaching a kid not to cross a street without looking both ways is an example of teaching cause and effect. If you walk before looking, you can get hit by a car. But the act of looking or not looking is neither good nor evil. It is just good advice to live by. The difference here being that there is no visible cause and effect to compare to with the apple. No one had eaten the apple before, so there was no previous information to compare with on what will or won't happen. Another difference is that eating of the apple IS akin to evil as well.

There is no such thing as a Muslim bloodline.
Every race is Muslim that chooses to be Muslim and takes Shahada.
You can't turn a religion into a bloodline because race is not a choice, religion is.
Is there a Christian bloodline? No. Anyone can join.

It is confusing but Cain was a foreshadowing of Nimrod. Great nation builder.
But I always get the message that this God prefers blood sacrifice over the grain offerings.
Interesting little known fact, Cain also had a son named Enoch. He was murdered by a relative of Lamech in the book of Jasher, and the accidental killer has to be killed because of the promise God made.
Interesting book, I recommend it. Jasher means upright or correct record.

It’s not that God preferred blood sacrifice its that after the Fall of Man this blood lust became mans prominent nature
The “God” here is expressing the human desires

Socrates called and said you were late for a lesson on "Knowledge"

Understand the story is an ALLEGORY
The Fruits were lofty and blissful states of consciousness of tremendous power and awesome potential.
To understand this ALLEGORY correctly, what one has to do is think of all the elements in the story as the insides of one being---YOURSELF!
In other words inside us all is an Adam, an Eve, A Lord, A serpent, a devil…a Garden of Eden…Jesus said “The Kingdom of God is within you”
You can not eat from the tree of knowledge AND the tree of life. This is a way for the Priests to say that knowledge leads to evil and death, but if you refrain you can have eternal life. Everyone says that Jews only believed in a gloomy state of darkness after death (Sheol) regardless of good or evil . I seriously doubt that this was what they believed because a few people were taken bodily to heaven, there was a heaven.
