There were two brothers,they were religious,you read about them in Genesis 4.they were named Cain and Abel,They both worked at different jobs,the Bible says, Abel kept flocks,Cain worked with the soil.One day they both brought an offering to God, Able brought what the Bible calls the firstborn of his flock, Cain brought the fruits of his soil.Then we read how God looked with favour on Abel's offering,but on Cain's offering He did not look with favour. The result was Cain was very angry, and God spoke to him, assuring him if he did what was right he would be accepted. So it follows that what he had done had not been right in God's eyes. What that was we do not know,it is not revealed to us,and God cautioned him about his anger that it was like a wild beast ,he must not let his anger rule him. Alas it does not appear that he listened to what God said,instead of saying to himself , I will do what God says,I will seek to do what's right in Gods eyes,and I will not be ruled by my temper.The thing is when you ignore what God says you are heading for trouble,he ended up with the infamous title,'the first murderer'.
