It makes no sense to say that sin here should be translated as "sin offering" (although the semantic range allows for such a rendering). If what you say is true, and it is a sin offering looking forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ upon the Cross, then God is telling Cain that he must master the atonement, although its benefits do desire him. In fact, the desire spoken of here means one of three things: a woman's desire for a man; a man's desire for a woman; or a beast's desire to devour. It is you, sir, who are mistaken.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241752069576417803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977577600031565833.post-60351077829405037652009-11-11T12:51:04.496-08:002009-11-11T12:51:04.496-08:00You make the same mistake that so many others have...You make the same mistake that so many others have made. And just because so many make the same mistake over and over does not make it right. <br />John Gill's exposition is right on the money. MacArthur takes the lazy way out and parrots the same old error. He uses Gen 4:7 to interpret 3:16. But he is wrong on 4:7 so therein lies the problem. He is using a bad interpretation of one to further confuse the meaning of another. <br />The "sin" is not what has <br />his desire for Cain. It is Abel that is being referenced and this is in regards to the position of Cain as the firstborn. <br />The sin in that passage simply means "sin offering", hence, a lamb would be waiting outside the door to be the perfect sacrifice. Christ was later said to be made sin (a sin offering) for sinners. He was the Lamb of God.Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959802558776047599noreply@blogger.com
