I never did like the story of Cain and Abel. It is a childhood disagreement taken to an extreme. We want to teach our children (and people in general) to love then we, as Christians, start with these awful stories from the Bible.
Mary Baker Eddy points out two jobs of Truth:
- Truth, through her eternal laws, unveils error.
- Truth causes sin to betray itself, and sets upon error the mark of the beast.
Then she lists what happens if error is shirked:
The avoidance of justice and the denial of truth tend to [1]perpetuate sin, [2]invoke crime, [3]jeopardize self-control, and [4]mock divine mercy.
This list makes me think MBE probably observed a lot of children because this is exactly what a child does.
