It can't be stretching one's imagination too much to envision God giving Adam and Eve careful instructions on how, when and where to perform blood sacrifices as He provided them with animal skins for their own coverning. That could explain why Cain and Abel brought offerings to God in the first place.
And could Cain, who's name meant "possession," have been coddled so much by Eve that he was bound to be self-centered rather than God-centered? (In fact, if Eve HAD been instructed by God, shouldn't she have offered Cain to God as a first fruit? She didn't and look what the outcome was.)
These are thoughts triggered by my listening (once again) to Gene Scott's series of tapes on faith.
