Cultural Discussion.

There are some cultural discussions about defining a man. Eve took time to acknowledge Cain as a man who killed her son Abel after the event but she was not setting a definition of the character of what is required to be a man or of what defines man. God defined man as His creation; Adam(that means man) and as defined as created man, he created as designed. He did not destroy. Cain is definitive of fallen nature but with the ability to know resurrection and deliverance. Moses killed but found resurrection when he came into the presence of the living word. Cain did not become a man by killing. He was already a man and God spoke to him accordingly. Eve had another son; Seth. He represented deliverance. The cultural discussions have changed to acknowledge the simple truth. A man is understood as someone like Jacob; Jacob who wrestled with God on retreat at the right age of manhood and submitted to Jehovah.
