Examples Of Moralic Evil

Cain and Abel are the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain is the eldest and Abel is the youngest. Cain is described as the tiller of the ground whereas Abel is the keeper of sheep. Both men know that God requires an offering, but the offering of Cain is quite different from that of Abel. Abel fears God, and because of this he offers the best of his flock to the Lord. He kills the animal and makes a sacrifice of blood. Abel understands that the shedding of innocent blood for the forgiveness of sin is acceptable. He also knows that this action of his is representative of surrendering his heart to God. By contrast, Cain brings what he has grown and gathered from the earth. In a way, a foolish man would think

Therefore, Cain has been given the ability of free will, God has given them the to choice of goodness over evil.

Mankind has many weaknesses, but the main weakness that can be seen in the bible is jealousy whether that be Cain killing Abel or if that be eve being jealous she cant having the forbidden fruit. Jealousy has many forms such a greediness and temptation and in todays society it has pushed mankind to judgment and warfare. Mankind judges on how a territory or land is ruled and if mankind does not agree with the ruler’s action it can lead to warfare or murder. Many examples of murder can be found today.

Throughout Antigone, characters demonstrate what should be considered good and bad. Most characters side with Antigone and the gods because at that time, disobeying the gods was a major crime. Creon, because he does not abide by the gods laws and wishes, he condemned not only himself to misery but also his entire family. Although Antigone ends up dying, she shows the king and Athens that doing the right thing – in this case honoring her brother and obeying the gods – is more important than following a corrupt king. Most people during this time would agree with Haemon when he states: “I would rather yield to her than to evil” (761). They would rather believe a woman and agree with her beliefs and ideas than yield to an immoral and evil

When Cain killed his brother, Abel, Cain’s actions were considered a crime. The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. One of God’s commandments are “You shall not murder.”

There are many themes for dealing with the problem of Evil. The one I would like to discuss is do specific evil result of specific sins. I believe some evil is a result of sin and some evil is not. A good example is David in the Bible. Erickson states, "A case in point is David, whose sin with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah resulted in the death of the child of David and Bathsheba as well as conflict in David's household. This perhaps should be thought of more in terms of the effects of certain acts than in terms of punishment from the God. We do not know what was involved, but it may well be that certain conditions pertaining at the time of the act of adultery resulted in a genetic defect

Another unique element of the Cain and Abel rivalry and its tragic aftermath is that God personally punished Cain for the murder of Abel, and sent him into exile. But God also showed some mercy to Cain which protected him from harm at the hands of others by putting a mark upon him. The narrator leaves him as one who has been placed under the very special care of God. Hence, the story ought not to be interpreted in basically negative terms, but rather as the activity of one who lives under divine protection and care. (Abingdon, 375)

It is in the Book of Genesis “The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.” (Genesis 15-16). Cain’s immediate feelings are of anger and discouragement. Cain loves God the same as Abel does, but he does not receive the same gratification back from God as Abel did. This is a natural reaction to being rejected that everyone can relate to. Cain is hurt and feels like he is not loved as much as Abel which Cain intensifies and blows out of proportion. Cain let the jealously of Abel’s love overtake him and leads him to committing a mortal sin. He is turned over by mixed emotions in himself and decides to kill is brother because he sees no other way to deal with the feelings he is having. By killing Abel, Cain does not fix any problem, he in fact creates another one. Cain is punished by God because God sees no excuse in Cain’s evil actions and calls Cain to responsiblilty for himself and for his

Abel was killed by his older brother Cain. Genesis 4 shares the adult lives of brothers, Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel were sons of Adam and Eve; however, Cain became very jealous and envious of his younger brother, Abel. The motive of Cain’s jealousy towards his brother, Abel, derived from Abel’s worship offering being accepted by God, their Creator. Abel’s offering to God was from the yield of the first fruit of his flock.

Adam and Eve are God’s first humans who had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain took care of the land while Abel took care of the flock, according to the story “The First Murder.” The sons presented God with the best gifts, however he denied Cain’s fruit which lead to Abel being murdered out of jealousy. Cain was punished by the Lord by being a fugitive on earth who could not get killed. Cain is often viewed as the villain in the story for killing his brother. However, his suffering for his sin had a positive effect on mankind by teaching the world that actions have consequences and jealousy only has a negative outcome.

Navigation helps individuals arrive to a given destination, but the human life also requires of such navigation. Some individuals unconsciously seek directions when challenged with a given issue and know which way to steer because of their moral compass. Furthermore, the moral compass is the soul that guides the personal self, but it is also the non-material aspect of a human being that is immortal. Although, the soul’s existence is in question, there is evidence that validates that the soul is real. Such evidence includes Plato’s theory of the tripartite soul and Sigmund Freud’s psychodynamic theory, which reevaluates Plato’s theory. Both address that the soul’s existence is the personality of a human being.

The story of Cain and Abel in the book of Genesis is a great illustration of frustration-induced criminality. According to Berkowitz, “delay or blockage may generate intense anger or even a violent response, if the frustrated individual believes that type of response will eliminate the interference” (Bartol & Bartol, 2016, p. 94). In Genesis 4:4-5, Cain’s perception that Abel was blocking God’s approval of him is illustrated, “and the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So, Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell” (New Revised Standard Version). Upon determining that Abel stood in the way of him being able to obtain approval in the eyes of God, Cain sought to eliminate him.

In Genesis 4, we read about the first murder in the fallen world. Cain killed his brother Abel over pride. He placed his anger over the life of his brother. The effects of the fall were beginning to show even this early after the fall. Man now has corrupted thinking and lives in a sinful world. A good example of someone who put absolutely no value on human life would be a woman named Margret Sanger. If you know anything about Margret Sanger you probably know she was the founder of Planned Parenthood. As you can tell just by that she held very little respect for human life, but if you dig deeper and find her motives for starting this organization you will question how anyone could have supported her cause.

‘Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him’ (Bible hub. Genesis 4:8). It seems that firs crime and first devastating sin happened long time ago and humanity is followed by this sin. Envy, anger, jealousy were the reasons of this terrible mistake and they have been reasons why humanity have sacrificed thousands and millions of lives all time of existence by fighting each other. If he knew what consecunces would follow to his cruel behaviour, could he do the same crime, which brought future of humanity to the sin and evil way of life. Nevertheles humans have realised difference between evil and goodness, numerous times was chousen way of war and violens.

Upon examination of the Old Testament, it can be found that evil was first attributed to God as a punishment for deviating from the right path. Since God is all-knowing and all-powerful he controls every aspect of the cosmos, he is thus responsible for every actions made by every
