Sin No More!!

 In Genesis  God told Cain that sin was at the door and you have power over it. 
So we have all been given control and power to defeat  sin.   Now God spoke to Cain and warned him, so by saying that sin is at the door is basically telling Cain to not sin by doing what is in his heart. So why would Cain disobey God? Did he not care, was his anger that great, or was it his hate for his brother that was greater. Was Cain the seed of Satan? And if so, is he the seed of Satan because he allowed sin to take control of him or is he the seed of Satan because he was his child.  Not long ago I came across an article which said that the serpent beguiled Eve "meaning had sex with her,  and Cain was born of Satan, Abel was born of Adam,  and the people who translated the bible left this out. That would be the reasoning for God saying that I will put enmity between your seed and his seed. Genesis 3:15  I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.  This  is why jesus had to die for our sins. We all know that jesus was crucified but he rose from the dead. He did not adhere to satan while being tempted, he took the burden of being on the cross since no one else could. He did not pass the cup he drank from it. Peter may have denied Jesus at first but he died honoring him. Either we are for Christ or we are for the wicked one. I  almost believed the story about Cain until someone raised the question what about adam? Adam also partook of the forbidden fruit( I'm only reading the bible from now on) Jesus told the Pharisees that "ye are of your father the devil and the lust of your father ye will do, he was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. I always interpreted this statement as being " the Pharisees had an unbelieving heart, they also crucified Christ, they denied him and only Satan could do this.  to think that Cain actually asked " Am I my brothers keeper" not caring whether he was or not. Many people right now believe their brother is a brother from birth, not caring nor accepting the fact that we are all brothers and sisters no matter the race or color. If we were given the power to have control over sin then why is there such evil on the face of this earth. Is it easier to sin or to do what is right. Can we go about our day to day life without sinning or are we so controlled by the powers of darkness that it becomes almost impossible to not sin. The bible says that we have all inherited sin from our first parents yet God says " you have power over it.  God also says " I am holy so we also should live a holy and sin free life. Today is saturday the sabbath but many bars and clubs are open tonight. I suppose we as a people need to take matters into our own hands and claim our inheritance, our inheritance of everlasting life with Jesus Christ as ruler. The world is dictating what we should wear, how we should act and what we should do, yet God is at the door knocking, so who will open the door and let him in. Not  everyone in this world is a liar, nor a thief, nor a murderer. We all have the ability to do what is right. But some people just like Cain has acquired the Cain mentality. They do not care about other people, they only have love for self, they will lie, steal and kill. The bible also says " that Satan was a liar and a murderer from the beginning and we all know that Cain killed Abel.  Cain had a blatant disregard for life. He also did not care about Gods warning. Is there anyone sounding the alarm right now? I don't believe so. Even though we can take a good look around us and see that things are not right. I was reading Matthew the other day and Jesus used the word repent a few times. I have not heard the word repent being used in church in so many years. Cain may have died many centuries ago but his spirit is running rampant in lots of people today. God is at the door so who will let him in.  I hear him calling do you? John 10:27 says" My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me.
