1A.Eve/Adam = (Eve+Adam) => Cain = BO (Bad offering) = corruption
The use of the life from God (1B.Adam/Eve) for godly, universal or spiritual purpose (Adam-Eve) produces a spiritual life (Abel), which is a good offering to God.
1B.Adam/Eve = (Adam-Eve) => Abel = GO (Good Offering) = Righteousness
How do we represent this in real life?
Let's use water(life) to clean a human (body).
As we said before, life was given to humanity as a stage of purification before getting to heaven; in other words, before getting to immortality, which is God's way of life, man must learn how to keep himself clean, pure.
He does so by practicing carefully the instructions given to him by the word of God.
Let's say that instead of using the life as God intended (to purify himself), the man decides to use it for his own purposes (to glorify himself).
We can do so through a shower or a bath.
By showering himself, an individual can clean himself correctly by moving away the sweat, urine and feces coming out from the human body,while by using the bathtub, the person is not well cleaned because of the sweat, urine and feces that stay with him in the bathtub.

what will happen?
We all know that the human body was drawm from the ground(earth) and that life comes from God(heaven).
The earth soil is full of every kind of dirtiness while the heaven is clean, pure.
The fact for the man(meat) to sit in the water instead of using it to wash himself corrupts the water; the scum, the germs, the urine, the feces from the human body spoil the water;
it defiles the life.
As time goes by, the corruption increases and infects all the water; and soon or later, it will rotten all the life, destroy the life, kill the life.
That man will be a source of all kind of sickness and problems for his peers because the corruption he produces will contaminate and kill everyone who gets in contact with him without the right knowledge.
The other way around is that the man (the body) uses the life as God intended; instead of sitting in the water, he uses it to wash his mouth, his body and to flush off the corruption produced by the human body, he uses his life to glorify God.
This man will be cleansed; his life will be purified by the water; the corruption created by the human body will not affect him.
He is going to be a spring of purity because he is going to teach others how to keep themselves pure based of what he has learned from the word of God: Jesus-Christ or the Gospel.
Now, we have seen the origin of the corruption and of the purity: the human wisdom or the human traditions for the carnal life and God's wisdom or the word of God for the spiritual life.
The carnal life produces the bad smell of the spiritual corruption and is unpleasant to God while the spiritual life produces a pleasant flagrance, a smell of a righteous lifestyle, which is pleasant to God. 2 Corinthians 2:14-17.
What happens when corruption and purity live together on the same ground? do we see it in our lives today?What is the true meaning of the murder of Abel by Cain?
That will be our next subject.
