  26. Were Adam and Eve Saved? According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church Before the Resurrection, Abraham, Noah, Moses, Adam and Eve, and all the righteous were in the Limbo of the Fathers (limbuspatrum) where they remained until "in his human soul united to his divine person, the dead Christ went down to the realm of the dead. He opened heaven’s gates for the just who had gone before him (CCC 637).

  27. Grab a Bible! Genesis 4: 1-18 Cain and Abel

  28. Children of Adam and Eve “…he had other sons and daughters.” Gen 5:4 • Cain (farmer) • Abel (shepherd) • Seth (God has granted, replaces Able)

  29. Cain • Farmer (husbandman) • Offered “the fruits of the earth” • Offering rejected • Why? • Kept better fruit for himself? • Did not give his heart • Angry –Kills brother out of jealousy • Banished –receives mark of protection • Only God can punish • God still loves

  37. Line of Seth: Sethites • Worship God • Sons of God • Have effects of Original Sin • Enosh (son of Seth) • God’s Covenant growing • Marry Cainites –multiple wives • Sin –shorter lives

  38. Teaching for Us: • Take responsibility • Do your best • Abel gave best –was rewarded • Cain –solves problem with murder
