Cain was the son of Satan. Look up Adam's offspring in the Bible and you'll not find Cain listed there. Hmmm. I wonder why.
As further proof, recall what Jesus told the pharisees when He told them to their faces that wanted to kill him. He said that they were of their father the devil, that his lusts they would do, and that he was a murderer from the first. So who was the first murderer? Cain of course.
As still more proof, recall the parable of the wheat and tares. When tares, a poisonous grain resembling wheat grew up alongside the wheat in the field, the servants asked the master where the tares had come from. And the master responded that the enemy has planted them. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to explain the parable, He explained that the field was the earth, and that the good seed was planted by God and the bad seed by Satan. But the master cautioned his servants not to uproot the tares because it would just cause more damage. He said they would all be gathered at harvest and the wheat placed in the barn but the tares would be thrown into the fire.
So in the Garden of Eden, when God told Adam not to partake of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he was telling him to stay away from Satan. But Satan beguiled Eve, they had intercourse and Cain was the offspring. Coincidentally Cain was also the twin fraternal brother of Able who was Adam's offspring. It's not that unusual for twins to have different fathers. Check it out.
So Satan's sons are still here on earth today. They're called kennites.
And even so, kennites today can freely choose to follow God's way and reject the ways of their father Satan.
But they definitely have their work cut out for them as the offspring of Satan.
Cain was the son of Satan. Look up Adam's offsprin... (

The Biblical word, Kenites is an Aramaic word meaning, "smiths," - that is blacksmiths, a tribe of nomads who were metalworkers.
ke'-nits (ha-qeni, haqeni; in Numbers 24:22 and Judges 4:11, qayin; of hoi Kenaioi, hoi Kinaioi):
They are first mentioned with the Kadmonites and Kenizzites who were among the tribes residing in Canaan, the land God promised to Abram (Genesis 15:19).
Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, was identified as a Kenite (Judges 1:16), and also is called "the priest of Midian" in Exodus 3:1; 18:1; showing a close relationship between the Kenites and the other inhabitants of Midian.
There were Kenites dwelling among the evil Amalekites in the time of Saul (1 Samuel 15:6). They were spared when God ordered Saul to destroy the Amalekites, because they had "shown kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt."
David linked the Kenites with the inhabitants of the South of Judah (1 Samuel 27:10). They continued to live in tents, practicing the ancient nomadic customs (Jeremiah 35:6), resembling "the gypsies of modern Europe, as well as the traveling tinkers or blacksmiths of the Middle Ages." They formed an important guild in an age when the art of metallurgy was confined to a few.
This explains their relationship with the various people, among whom they would reside in pursuit of their calling.
They were not Hebrews, but from ancient times were mostly friendly toward them, and they are not identified as children of Satan.
They are mentioned for the last time in Scripture in 1 Samuel 27:10 ; comp 30:20.
