In the story of Cain and Abel, I am wondering about this part sepcifically:
" The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but he rejected Cain and his offering. Cain became furious and he scowled in anger. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry?" Why that scowl on your face? If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling, but because you have done evil, sin is crouching at your door." Gn 4: 4-7
What evil has Cain done? What sin has he commited? Why won't the Lord accept his offering? It seems to me the Lord is being picky and showing a bit of favoritism. Cain was a farmer, and Abel was a shepherd. Why couldn't the Lord accept the offering of Cain's harvest?
