11/1/2023 0 Comments Father of cain and abelSo when Jesus is accusing those Jews who sought "to kill" him because his "word had no place in" them (v.37) of belonging "to your father,the Devil," (v.44), the context tells us the relationship. He is also the "father of lies," because he was the first to lie. He was a murderer from the beginning, because it is he who sought Adam's death (and thus mankind's death), and succeeded in bringing it about, through the temptation of Eve. I take Jesus's statement as wholly referencing "the Devil" himself (just as the verse states). I would not assume that, nor would I argue that is correct. I want to address something else you state:Īssuming that Cain is the person that Jesus is referring to Frank Luke's answer is clear enough to realize Cain is Adam's son, no question about that.
