The implication is that if Cain would repent and "do well" he would enjoy authority over his brother (see Genesis 3:16). Instead of doing well and allowing the Lord to work this out, he took matters into his own hands and murdered his brother.DAVID BROWNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456850764818191732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413999986671528431.post-56937771094882083512014-10-30T04:59:15.110-04:002014-10-30T04:59:15.110-04:00It seems that everyone is intrigued by the first p...It seems that everyone is intrigued by the first part of the verse, which I have a general, intuitive understanding of, but no one addresses the second part which I am totally confused by: "And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him".." To start with, who is "thee/thou" and who is "his/him" referring to? I wonder if the original blogger from 2010 (David) is still watching and has something to offer.Colt2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14744589055379968155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413999986671528431.post-37211218329295036682014-03-13T09:20:01.088-04:002014-03-13T09:20:01.088-04:00Please all. The interpretation of "Sin Lieth ...Please all. The interpretation of "Sin Lieth at the door" is this. The Sin that lies at the door is a Pascal lamb provided by God for the sacrifice and unto cain shall be the desire of the lamb(to do unto the lamb what he desires) becos he has rule over it, just as God provide a ram for sacrifice to Moses instead of Isaac. The lamb will submit to cain on how cain desires to use it. The sacrifice should be a blood atonement. Isai. 53:4-10(perfect submission to the will of God in the face of death) The door doesn't signify knocking at the door of your heart, for the door is the door of cain's tent. Remember the heart of man could not be purged/circumcise until Christ came and shed his blood as the blood these sin sacrifice animals only covers their sins, Heb.10:1-4. A provided lamb for sacrifice awaits cain by his tent.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634131893694221943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413999986671528431.post-38393131219817468962014-02-26T16:54:39.865-05:002014-02-26T16:54:39.865-05:00Ok just some thoughts, Cain was angry because some...Ok just some thoughts, Cain was angry because somehow he missed it got it wrong and God didn't have respect to his offering, maybe it was meant to be a lamb, ok Cain was angry (the word of God says be angry but sin not) When we feel anger we have a choice whether to sin or not (sin crouches at the door) but we don't have to sin, Cains anger lead to the murder of his brother his pride led to anger and anger led to sin. But Cain could have ruled over that emotion of anger but he chose not to. When someone else gets it right and we get it wrong then negative emotions can spring up pride then Anger because of our pride and if these negative emotions not dealt with"ruled over" "cast down" or mastered but are instead meditated on they lead to sin. We know that we are not supposed to go to sleep angry (dont let the sun go down on your wrath) May be Cain went to bed angry we know that he didn't let it go because if he had he wouldn't have murdered his brother. Able had done what was right there was nothing for Cain to be angry with him about. But his own pride of getting it wrong, His own pride led to him being angry with his brother and killing him because the sin of pride. If God was telling Cain that he should have offered a Lamb as a sacrifice and was giving him a chance to get it right, who do you think Cain would have to, to get one probably Able not an easy thing to do when pride is ruling you and you are already angry, just a thought. I have had this happen to me against another person they got it right and I got it wrong and a strong emotion of pride rose up in me and I had all sorts of wrong thoughts towards them fortunately I knew that those thoughts were exulting themselves above my knowledge of God so I took them captive and cast then down. Asking God to forgive me for entertaining those thoughts and asking for help with my pride.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358796934140833303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413999986671528431.post-67229947494087211962010-10-30T11:04:17.071-04:002010-10-30T11:04:17.071-04:00NOT AS WELL VERSED IN THE BIBLE AS SOME, BUT IT SE...NOT AS WELL VERSED IN THE BIBLE AS SOME, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THE "SIN OFFERING" WAS NOT ESTABLISED UNTILL MOSES THAN IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO BELIEVE THE EFFECTS OF SIN WAS WHAT HE IS REFERRING TO.

And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Seem to me that any time we do not do well we have the opportunity to progress into a sinful act/thought, therefore, if we thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. <br />Sin is always there waiting for us to not do well. To not do well is not a sin, but it sure can lead to sin.<br /><br />BernardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413999986671528431.post-17058246377047120942010-07-22T10:42:14.584-04:002010-07-22T10:42:14.584-04:00Amen!!!

In the last reference, Jesus is knocking at the door (Revelation 3:20).

Here is a link with all the scriptures where this phrase is used.<br /><br />http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=%22at+the+door%22&t=KJV&sf=5<br /><br />Hope it is help and blessing.<br /><br />God bless,<br />Bro.
