A further reference to the two seeds and their attitude towards the Word of God is
contained in verse 47:--
"He that is of God (ek tou Theou) heareth the words of God; ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not ek tou Theou."
Once more we must ask the reader to allow us to pursue the theme still further before
any conclusion is reached. What we have seen makes it clear that there are two seeds in
the earth. One "of God", the other "of the Devil" and just as physical descent from
Abraham did not prevent some Jews being nevertheless "of their father, the Devil", so
Cain's physical descent from Adam and Eve did not alter the fact that he was "of that
wicked one".
