Genesis 4:7 (NIV)

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?  But if you do not do
what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you,
but you must master it.

I believe that Cain knew exactly what he was doing -- he was stingy, and
God rebuked him for it.  Now you say, all this could have been avoided
if God hadn't looked with disapproval on Cain's offering.  But all this
could have been avoided if Cain hadn't killed Abel.  God didn't make
Cain commit murder.
